MS248 reel 16, Vol. 75, page 48 Waterloo County Marriage Register Extracted from a list of marriages solemnized by Robert Acheson, a minister of the U.P. Church of North America for the year ending 31st Decemeber, A.D. 1860 Adam Moffat, 27, born Dumfries, residing Beverly. Parents Step Moffat and Jane Thomson. Jane Garrick, 2...(age obscured), born Beverly, residing Ancaster. Parents Jas. Garrick and Cath Car... Witness Geo. Goodall of Galt. On 22 November 1860 Some points: The family name is generally spelled with two T's. Adam's family frequently used one T, but the name is spelled with two T's on their gravestone in Mountview Cemetery, Galt. Adam's father's given name is abbreviated here as Step, but the same form, by this time, was used in the First Church records (see GS2987) and the short form appears there as Steph. Jane's age is obscured in the marriage register. Her death registration shows her date of birth as 18 Dec 1832. Jane's mother's name is mainly unreadable on the marriage registration. The death registration, which is faded, shows her maiden name as McCormick. Finally, Robert Acheson filed his marriage registrations with Waterloo County whether they were held in Waterloo County or not. We have, however, the transcriptions of marriage notices done by Rosemary Ambrose from the Dumfries Reformer. The edition of 28 November, 1860, tells that Adam Moffat married Jane C. Garrick on 22 November in Galt. Rev Acheson was the clergyman and both Adam and Jane were of Beverly Township. |
| Death | She died on 18 December 1932 at Hamilton, Wentworth Co., at age 94. |
| Burial | She was buried on 21 December 1932 at Section 3, Mountview Cemetery, Galt. |
| Note | The 1891 Farmer's Directory for Wentworth/Beverly Township, shows Jane Moffatt and son Stephen at concession 6, lot 9 in Beverly, post office Sheffield. The same directory shows Jane's brothers, Anthony and Robert Garroch on concession 7, lot 8, again post office address Sheffield. At the time of the 1921 census in Hamilton, Jane Moffat is living with daughter Katharine. The death registration for Jane Garroch Moffatt was typed and by the time of microfilming was badly faded, perhaps the result of the quality of ink in the ribbon. This is quite unreadable as presented on Ancestry. Familysearch also has a copy of this and has managed to show a faint, but mainly readable copy. Death reg. 038121-32 Hamilton, Wentworth Co. Jane Moffatt died Dec. 18th, 1932 at 10 Mountain Blvd. October 24, 1838, at Sheffield, Ontario. Age 94 years, 1 mo., 24 dys. At place of death 30 years. Parents James Garroch and Catherine McCormick, both born Scotland. Informant James illeg initial Moffatt, 39 Mount Royal Ave., son. Burial Galt Dec. 21st, 1932. Cause of death not entirely readable, but Jane suffered a fracture as the result of a fall. |
