Joseph Love
ID # 8956, (1849-)
| Father | Robert Love (1818-) |
| Mother | Mary Ann Fleury (1822-) |
| Birth | Joseph Love was born on 15 May 1849 at King Township, York County, Canada West. |
| Christening | He was christened on 12 May 1850 at King Township, York County. |
| Marriage | He married Ellen Shand, daughter of Warden Warren Shand and Eliza Kesson, on 4 January 1881 at West Garafraxa Twp., Wellington Co.. Mrge reg. 012202-81 West Garafraxa Township, Wellington Co. Joseph Love, 31, bachelor, farmer, Canada Methodist. Born King (Township), residing Maryboro. Parents Richard Love and Mary Ann Fleury. Helen Evelyn Shand, 38, spinster, Presbyterian. Born and residing West Garafraxa. Parents Warden Shand and Elizabeth Cason. Witnesses Henry Ogilvie of Maryboro and Bella (middle name illegible) Shand, of West Garafraxa. On 4th January, 1881, at West Garafraxa, by Rev'd. J. B. Mullan. Joseph's father was almost certainly Robert and not Richard. See his baptism information. This was probably a handwriting problem...and not the only one. The above document shows Joseph's age to be 38. This does not work with his age as shown on his baptism. Note that Joseph's mother was Mary Ann Fleury. According to a transcription of Esplin Cemetery in Proton Township, Joseph and Helen/Ellen have with them buried a son named Fleury Love. |
| Note | For the image of the following we are grateful to its posting by bowergenerology.ca. Page 637, Township of King. Joseph, son of Robert and Mary Ann Love. Family residence King Township, birth place of Joseph King Township. Date of birth 15 May, 1849; date of baptism 12 May, 1850. Baptized King Township. Clergyman Rev. W. Young. The marriage registration of Joseph and Ellen (Helen) shows Joseph's father to be Richard. This is surely an error. The Wesleyan Methodist baptism page for King Township shows two baptisms for the children of Robert and Mary Ann of King. We must believe the Joseph's father was indeed Robert. The 1871 census bears this out. |
