Identifying Tattie Williams

Back in June of 2018 I posted about the burial information for Samina Foxwell Williams. In the post, I listed the names of individuals who were buried in the same plot with Thomas Williams and Sybil Foxwell.





The names in the plot are:

• Thomas Williams
• Sybil Foxwell
• Tattie Williams
• John Douglas
• Louisa Williams
• Minnie McInnis
• John Williams
• Martha Williams

Thomas Williams & Sybil Foxwell are the parents of the family. Louisa Williams is their daughter and John Douglas was her husband. Minnie McInnis was identified earlier as Samina Foxwell Williams, another daughter of Thomas and Sybil Williams. John Williams is the son of Thomas Williams and Sybil Foxwell. Martha Williams is yet to be identified (see X00303).

So that leaves Tattie Williams to be identified. According to the burial listing for Greenwood Cemetery, she died March 14, 1882 at age 19. A quick search of the Ontario death registrations for that date shows a record for a Charlotte Ann Williams with a matching age and death date:



This name and birth date matches with a Charlotte Ann Williams, daughter of John Williams and Charlotte Ann Perry. And so "Tattie" is a nickname for "Charlotte".
