I'm researching the family of John Williams and Charlotte Ann Perry and I've been trying to get the birth and death dates for one of their daughters, Annie Louisa Williams.
The only definite record that I have found for her so far is the 1861 census [D03739] which puts her birth date at 1859 or 1860.
A number of trees on Ancestry have her listed with the following dates:
Born: 14 Apr 1860
Died: 25 Oct 1861
However, none of these trees provide sources for these dates.
So, I’ll need to do some more research. Since she evidently was born and died before civil registration, so I’ll have to find other sources. I’ve checked the standard websites for cemeteries but have had no luck.
Next steps:
- Check Guelph newspapers for birth/death announcements
- Check Wellington County OGS grave transcriptions
- Check Guelph Public Library/Wellington county archives for church records
- Check possibility that birth/death dates are wrong
- Check possibility that Annie Louisa Williams is confused with another one of the sisters
