James William Fuller
ID # 7519, (1838-1870)
| Baptism | James William Fuller was baptized in 1838 at Sussex, England. |
| Marriage | He married Mary Elizabeth Husband, daughter of George Husband and Susan Hoowee, on 15 November 1863 at Haldimand County. MS248 reel 7, Vol. 15, page 85. Haldimand County Marriage Register Extracted from a list of marriages solemnized by James M. Bates, Baptist Minister of W. Healy, for the year ending 31st December, A.D. 1863. James Fuller, 25, born Sussex, England, residing Townsend. Parents Robert Fuller and Anne Fuller. Mary E. Husband, 21, born Pelham, residing Gainsboro. Parents George and Susan Husband. Witnesses Wm Goff and A. W. Thompson of W. Healy. On 15 November, 1863. (Locale, W. Healy, abbreviated and not understood or yet found) The given name of the groom's mother, shown here as Anne, is ill-written. It might almost be anything, but comparisons with handwriting elsewhere on the page seems to make the name Anne, or Ann. A note here: The marriage was recorded in the Haldimand County marriage register, hence we must believe that it was to Haldimand that the clergyman reported, and if he did so correctly then the marriage was indeed in Haldimand. James' residence was next door in Townsend Township of Norfolk County. Did he and Mary cross the county line to Haldimand to marry, or did the clergyman come to Townsend, but then report the marriage to Haldimand. This wasn't supposed to happen, but examples of such happening abound. |
| Death | He died on 5 November 1870 at Brantford, Brant Co., Ontario. |
| Note | Death reg. 003803-70 Brantford, Brant Co. William James Fuller died 5 Nov 1870. Age 33. Brakeman. Baptist. Born Sussex, England. Physician Dr. R. Henwood. Informant M. E. Fuller, wife of deceased, Brantford. Cause of death inflammation of bowels, six days. Where James was buried has not been found. At the time of their marriage, James was residing in Townsend Township in Norfolk County and Mary Elizabeth Husband was residing in Gainsboro Township in Lincoln County. At the time of the 1851 census (in January of 1852), James is shown as age 15 and is with his parents in Brantford. He is not with them as of the 1861 census. Both of these censuses show the family as belonging to the Church of England. According to a transcription of Greenwood Cemetery in Brantford, as done by the Brant County branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, James' parents, Robert and Ann, are buried there. There is nothing to record James' burial there, though, at a guess, he is probably buried there. |
