| Father | John Harvie (1821-1905) |
| Mother | Jessie Jamieson (1833-1892) |
| Birth | Margaret Graham Harvie was born on 15 August 1857 at Washington, Ontario. |
| Marriage | She married Frances Hervey Motheral on 1 February 1881 at Paisley, Bruce County, Ontario. Mrge reg. 001720-81 Paisley, Bruce Co. Francis Motherall, 21, bachelor, miller. Born Ontario, residing Plattsville. Parents John Motherall and Matilda Wait. Mary Harvey, 23, spinster, born Ontario, residing Plattsville. Parents John Harvey and Jessie Jamieson. Witness John McGannet of Clifford and Bill Blue of Paisley. On 1 February, 1881, at Paisley by Rev. J. Straith. |
| Note | The family with all known living children is at Blenheim Twp. at the time of the 1901 census. (Matilda died in 1892.) In 1911, Margaret is in Blenheim with daughter Della, apparently with her Motheral in-laws. Francis, or Frank, Motheral has not been found in 1911 nor the other children, with the exception of Jessie, who is with William and Lillian Furtney, her aunt and uncle, in Souris, Manitoba. In 1915, there is a record of Margaret and Francis Motheral crossing into the United States at Blaine, Washington, from British Columbia. They give as a family contact resident in Canada the name of Francis's brother-in-law D.G Harvie of Fernie, B.C. They are destined to visit with their son A.J. Motheral at 393 5th St., San Francisco. They both give their place of birth as Washington, Ontario, which is in Blenheim Twp. Daughter Jessie Motheral, age 23 and a music teacher, crosses into the United States at Blaine, Washington, giving her Canadian contact as her father Frank H. Motheral of Estevan, Saskatchewan. She is destined to visit with brother Albert J. Motheral at 325 9th St., Oakland Calif. Her one descriptive feature she gives is that she is hard of hearing. Jessie crossed into the U.S. on July 24, 1915; her parents crossed on February 24, 1915. Were her parents back in Canaa when she gave her Canadian contact information? By 1920, Frank, Margaret, Albert and Jessie are shown in the U.S. Census at San Francisco, 39th precinct, dist. 25, apparently as residents. Their entry to the United States is shown as 1904 for the four of them. It seems rather more likely that son Albert was present in 1904 and that the other members of his family followed. If family members are in the U.S. at the time of the 1930 census, they haven't been found. Margaret's middle name of Graham appears in birth registrations for her children. |
