Eber McFees Parents [closed]

Question

I'm looking for the parents of Eber McFee born 1861 in New Brunswick. Resided in Sackville, New Westmorland, New Brunswick Canada. The only details I can find are in Census records which indicate he is the Grandson of Daniel McFee and Jane Hiscock.

Clarifying question, Matthew: You added the "native_americcans" tag. I don't see any discussion on his biography re: Native relations/identity.  Could you say more about why you added this tag? Thanks.

Census records say "Native" as race, meaning native born, sometimes misunderstood as being the same as the current usage "Native American", who were then known as Indians.

Jillaine:

I added the tag native americans ( as Aaron Gullison pointed out ) I was misinterpreting the way the Census read "Native".

Answer 1

I found a death certificate, that names his parents as "John MacPhee and Anna Smith". His son Cecil was the informant, and would presumably have known who his grandparents were. FamilySearch has a John McPhee (1829-?) son of Daniel, likely the same person.

Thanks so much Aaron. Where did you locate the death certificate?
