Elizabeth Sarah Loft
ID # 7269, (1841-1915)
| Father | William Henry Lofft (1810-1886) |
| Mother | Ann Wise (1811-1868) |
| Birth | Elizabeth Sarah Loft was born on 21 August 1841 at Minster in Sheerness, Kent, England. |
| Marriage | She married John McTavish, son of Duncan McTavish and Elizabeth Husband, on 18 October 1864 at Huron County. MS248 reel 8, Vol. 20, page 152 Huron County Marriage Register Extracted from a list of marriages solemnized by Rev. G. L. Colwell, a minister of the Bible Christian Church, for the year ending 31st December, A. D. 1864 John McTavish, 24, born Canada, residing Bruce (county). Parents Duncan and Elizabeth McTavish. Elizabeth Loft, 23, born England, residing Goderich Township. Parents William and Ann Loft. Witness Frederick George Loft of Goderich Township. On 18 Oct 1864. A problem with the above registration is that Elizabeth's name has a check mark through it. She shows her parents surname as Loft, but her last name as written, though not entirely readable, certainly isn't Loft. It looks rather more like Larch. It is possible, though Elizabeth is young at 23, that she is a widow. A marriage or census record for her as such has not been found, so her maiden name is shown here. Elizabeth's family name is sometimes rendered as Lofft. In terms of records looked at, whether they show Lofft or Loft is rather a draw. |
| Death | She died on 12 October 1915 at Huron Twp., Bruce County, at age 74. |
| Burial | She was buried at Ripley-Huron Cemetery, Huron Twp., Bruce County. |
