Few tree's have his father as Abner Cherry  mother Mary Mullville
He was born 1861 Ontario Canada and was still there 1881 ..so arrived between 1881-1891

Yes I see - George Alton Cherry 1892; Alice Rosina Cherry 1899.

Both with mother's maiden name Norman.

George's birth registered around the same time as his father's death.

Out of interest, leelums21, what does the death certificate show as the date & cause of death?
