ID # 3759, (1850-)
| Father | Charles H. Wilber (1827-1901) |
| Mother | Rachel Willson (1828-1895) |
| Birth | Ellen Wilber was born in 1850. |
| Marriage | She married William Clinton on 20 October 1872 at South Dumfries, Brant Co., Ontario. Mrge reg. 004710-73 South Dumfries, Brant Co. William Clinton, 30, bachelor, yeoman. Methodist. Born and residing South Dumfries. Parents John and Mary Clinton. Ellen Wilber, 22, spinster, Baptist. Born and residing South Dumfries. Parents Charles and Rachael Wilber. Witnesses Edwin Kitchen of South Dumfries and Lavinia Keefer of St. George. On October 20th, 1872 by C. H. Griffith, minister. The witness Lavinia Keefer is the daughter of Nelson Keefer and Mary Hodge Ballantyne and she appears with them at the time of the 1871 census in South Dumfries. Edwin Kitchen is almost certainly a cousin of the bride. The marriage took place in October of 1872, but David Baptie, the township clerk for South Dumfries, did not file the page with the marriage until 1st July, 1873. Hence the 1873 registration. |
| Note | Ellen Wilber is shown as Ellen, age 2, in the 1851 census. She is with her parents in South Dumfries and she is their only child in the census. In the 1861 census, she appears as Eliza, age 11, and we might doubt that she is the same child - except that in the 1871 census she is back to being Ellen and is age 21. |
