Hi Catherine: Sorry I do not know when or what city. All I know is that

lived in Toronto, York  Ontario . Married in Erin Ont. I know his parents are laid to rest

in Mellive Cemetery but when I inquired no Fred or Kate. Also his brother William

and his wife bertha moynes are buried in White Church Cemetery in

Caledon TWP Peel Ontario. Just no record for Fred or Kate.  (Kate born 1884.)...Marie

Answer 1

According to the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid there is both a Frederick and a Kate L. Harris buried at Erin Union Cemetery, in Erin Twp., Wellington Co., Unfortunately, the OCFA does not provide dates, and no source of photos I can find for that cemetery has that particular surname. (CanadaGenWeb Cemetery Project, Find a grave, and CanadianHeadstones.com)

If it helps there are two other people listed with the surname Harris in that cemetery, a "W.J. Richard" and a "Gertrude".

Based on the information you have given (parents names, year of birth, and locations) I presume this family in the 1891 Census (Lines 8 to 16)  may be the correct one:

Then in the 1901 Census:

http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/1901/Pages/item.aspx?itemid=2333488

And possibly this 1911 entry as well:

Hi Thank you for all the info. and time that you spent finding it all. I don't  know

what happened but I did get in touch with someone that looks after the

Ontario records and the result was they did not have any  records of

the persons I was looking for....I will try the link you gave me  and see what I

can find or whom  to contact. Thanks a bunch :)  Marie.

No Problem... just to add:

1. The town of Erin website has some contact numbers that may be useful to you: http://www.erin.ca/Departments/cemeteries.aspx

2. Running a search on the Ontario Genealogical Society ancestor search shows that the Frederick and Kate L. Harris buried at Erin Union Cemetery have the same stone reference number "s4-18", I suspect this is worth looking into particularly given that  Boston Mills, Caledon to Erin Union Cemetery is only 15km by todays roads.

Hi Anonymous G2G rookie  Just wondering why you are interested in the Bishop Hall Porter profiles and his family. Are you the one that has entered that Kate and Mabel are half sisters. If you have a source to prove this please let me know. Did Bishop married twice???...M.
