| Birth | Joseph Merritt Agnew was born on 16 July 1871 at Brantford Township, Brant County, Ontario. |
| Marriage | He married Amy Jane Ker on 22 September 1897 at Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Joseph and Amy's Manitoba marriage registration number is 1897-001114. |
| Note | Joseph and Amy seem to have finished up in British Columbia. Their two children died very young and are buried in Cranbrook. There is some suggestion from information available at an online B.C. Archives site that Joseph and Amy lived to be a great age in Vancouver, but the information given isn't sufficient to identify them with any certainty. There is some information that they also had a son Walter Agnew, born after 1901, but a later record has yet to be found. |
