Nellie May Lawrason
ID # 2959, (1873-1918)
| Father | Titus Geer Lawrason (1829-1917) |
| Mother | Mary Ellen Van Every (1834-1931) |
| Birth | Nellie May Lawrason was born on 31 May 1873 at Burford Twp., Brant Co.. |
| Marriage | She married George Aulseybrook on 24 November 1897 at Ingersoll, Oxford, Co.. Marriage reg. 011229-97 Ingersoll, Oxford Co. George Aulseybrook, 25, bachelor, merchant, residing Burford Village. Parents Geo. Aulseybrook and Mary Secord. Nellie Lawrason, 24, spinster, residing Cathcart. Parents (writing nearly illeg.) Thos. Lawrason and mother 'don't know'. Only one witness shown, Thos. Lawrason. On 24 Nov. 1897 at Ingersoll. The groom was Episco. and the bride Meth. Clergyman (perhaps) I.J. Atkins. George's last name is shown as Aulseybrook and appears so on other records, such as the family gravestones in Holy Trinity Cemetery at Burford. This appears in the transcription of the cemetery as done by the Brant County branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society and is confirmed by photo essays of the cemetery as found on Find-a-Grave and CanGenWeb. Ausleybrook is (probably) the rather more common spelling, but this seems to be how his family spelled it and, evidently, how George himself spelled it. Nellie's father's name, as shown in the above marriage registration, wasn't Thomas but Titus. That it was interpreted as 'Thomas' is almost certainly a handwriting problem. |
| Death | She died on 6 November 1918 at Burford Twp. at age 45. |
| Burial | She was buried at Burford Congregational Cemetery. |
