Amarilla Elizabeth Merigold
ID # 7950, (1826-1918)
| Father | Amos Merigold (1797-1868) |
| Mother | Nancy Cody (1806-1899) |
| Birth | Amarilla Elizabeth Merigold was born on 9 February 1826 at Toronto Township, Home District, Upper Canada. |
| Marriage | She married John Brook on 28 March 1860 at Burford, Brant Co., Canada West. The date and place of marriage for John Brook and Amarilla Merigold is taken from the 1954 Cody Family in America by Lydia S. Cody. This tells that John and Amarilla were married in Burford on March 28, 1860. John is said to be a resident of Otter Lake, which is in the present day Parry Sound District. Amarilla's brief biography tells that he was a widower with nine children. All of which is probably correct, but a record for their marriage does not appear in either the Brant or Oxford County registers. By 1860, a Burford marriage should be recorded in the Brant County marriage register. This has not been found. |
| Death | She died on 28 July 1918 at Foley Twp., Parry Sound District, at age 92. |
