Charlotte Ribble
ID # 6076, (1823-1858)
| Birth | Charlotte Ribble was born in 1823. |
| Marriage | She married Joseph Burrows on 14 April 1840. Our only source for the marriage date of Joseph Burrows and Charlotte Ribble is to be found on page 64 of Ontario Marriage Notices, Thomas B. Wilson, Hunterdon House, Lambertville, N.J., 1982. Here, Mr. Wilson is extracting from the Christian Guardian issue of 13 May, 1840. It refers to the marriage of Joseph Burrows and Charlotte Ribble, both of Nelson (Township) on the '14th ult.' (ultimo.) This would be the 14th of April of the same year. The marriage was performed by Rev. H. Biggar. It may very well have been performed in Nelson Township, but the notice doesn't say so. |
| Death | She died on 20 March 1858. |
| Burial | She was buried at Sheffield Cemetery, Beverly Twp., Wentworth Co.. |
| Note | We take Charlotte's maiden name from Thomas Wilson's Ontario Marriage Notices, Hunterdon House, Lambertville, N.J., 1982, page 64. (See marriage notices for Charlotte and Joseph.) One or two other spellings of her name have been found, but the 1851 and 1861 censuses show the family name Ribble in Nelson and Trafalgar townships of Halton County. The name appears as well in the 1861 census in the town of Oakville (which is situated in what was Trafalgar Township.) Charlotte's year of birth, 1823, is approximated from her stated age at time of death on her gravestone in Sheffield Cemetery. A photograph of the gravestone may be found on Find-a-Grave and has the look of being a quality much later than 1858 and was probably erected by descendants. We do not have direct information for a place of death for either Charlotte or for her daughter Mary Jane, but since Joseph's obituary in the Berlin Chronicle states that his wife and oldest daughter were laid in the grave only weeks earlier it is probable that they died at Branchton in North Dumfries Township. Certainly, they are buried together at Sheffield in Beverly Township which is only six kilometers from Branchton. |
