The Wesleyan Methodist baptisms show the birth of Annie Jackson at Guelph on March 29, 1840, and her baptism by Rev. Benj. Slight, at Guelph on August 23, 1840. Transcriptions for these baptisms as done by Ida Reed may be found on the web site of Bill Martin of Thunder Bay. The page images by be found on the website for bowergenealogy.ca.
