HARCOURT, James 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
James married Ellen Maria FARRELL, daughter of Michael FARRELL and Julia UNKNOWN, about 1849 in Arthur, Wellington North County, Ontario, Canada. (Ellen Maria FARRELL was born in 1832 in Ireland, died on 15 Apr 1879 in Arthur, Wellington North County, Ontario, Canada 10 and was buried in Apr 1879 in St. John's Roman Catholic Cemetery, Arthur, Wellington North County, Ontario, Canada.)
There is a discrepancy between the birth year of James and Ellen's two oldest children and the probable date of their marriage. Ellen is still living with her parents on the 1851 census (much of which wasn't ennumerated until 1852), so it is impossible that John and Mary would have been born in 1850. More research is needed.
James next married Margaret O'CALLAGHAN, daughter of Timothy O'CALLAGHAN and Sarah MAHER, on 15 Nov 1881 in Guelph, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada.1 (Margaret O'CALLAGHAN was born on 4 Apr 1843 in Ontario, Canada and died after 1901 in poss Pilkington, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada.) |
