Physician and informant Dr. A. S. Lovett. The 1901 census shows Andrew's birth to be in Ontario. His marriage registration places his birth in North Dumfries Township. The 1901 census shows his age to be 63, but then states his year of birth as 1929. This is obviously incorrect. It tells that he was born 13 Feb 1829. 1839 should be correct. His date of burial, 16 April, 1904, is shown in Norma Huber's work Funeral Notice Cards of Waterloo County, from 1851 to 1980. This was published by the Waterloo Region branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society in 2001. |
