| Note | Elzirah and her husband appear at Ancaster in the 1881 census and that is the source for the name of their son Hartley. Gilbert and Elzirah are in Woodstock with son Hartley at the time of the 1911 census. Elzirah's death registration in Toronto, York Co., on November 15, 1925. 006291-25 Elzirah Field, 1107 College St., age 83, born Troy, Ontario, October 13, 1842.

Cause of death is shown as myocardial degeneration and death was said to have occurred suddenly. This maybe why the coroner was involved. |
