Mary Grant
ID # 5292, (1846-1926)
| Birth | Mary Grant was born in 1846 at Scotland. |
| Marriage | She married Robert Andrew Carrick, son of Andrew Carrick and Isabella Hill, on 23 May 1867 at Bruce County. MS248 reel 5 Vol.3, page 96 Bruce County Marriage Register Extracted from a list of marriages solemnized by William Matheson, a minister of Canada Presbyterian Church, Bruce, for the year ending 31st day of January, A.D. 1867 Robert S. Carrick, 25, born Canada, residing Ashfield. Parents Andrew Carrick and Isabella Hill. Mary Grant, 22, born Scotland, residing Ashfield. Parents Alex Grant and Martha McInnes. Witness Murd. McRae of Ashfield. On May 23, '1868'. First, Robert's initial, shown as S. will be a handwriting issue. Clearly, we are dealing with Robert Andrew Carrick, the son of Andrew Carrick and Isabella Hill. Second, in the context, the two marriages recorded, on the form, under the minister's name, are dated to May of 1868 and in the context this makes absolutely no sense. It appears to be a clerical error. The heading makes it clear that the marriage list is to the end of January of 1868. Add to that, at the bottom, the registrar dates his registration to 3rd February, 1868. We record the year of marriage as 1867. |
| Death | She died on 1 April 1926 at Lucknow, Bruce Co., Ontario. |
| Burial | She was buried on 6 April 1926 at Greenhill Cemetery, Ashfield Twp., Huron Co.. |
