Harriett

This family is being researched by Gladys Toles. She may be contacted at 2704 Cherry Street Port Huron, MI 48060.

Harriett, daughter of Robert Parr and Hannah Charity, was born 7 August 1932 at Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire, England. Harriett was baptized 24 March 1833 with sister Mariah at the St. John the Evangelist Church at Waterbeach.

Harriett's parents brought Harriett and her siblings to Ontario, Canada sometime during 1834. They settled near Wardsville, Ontario by the 1842 census.

Harriett was married 5 June 1849 in _____________________________ (church?) at _____________________ (city). The handwriting is not very clear as to the name of her first husband; does it say Laurence Foles? or Lawrence Toles?

Harriett married Jerome Toles 21 November 1854 in _________________ (church?) at ________________________ (city) If Harriett’s first husband was indeed Lawrence Toles, was Jerome his brother? First cousin? Since the parents are unknown for Lawrence and Jerome still, we’ll have to wait for another day for an answer. Jerome, son of ______________ Toles (father) and ________________ (mother) , was born 7 August 1832 at _____________________. (city)

It’s also unclear as to which children were fathered by Harriett’s first husband, and fathered by Jerome Toles. It would be an assumption to go by the marriage date, as to which children belong to whom! Frequently, ministers were not available when a couple wanted to get married. Therefore, they lived together until such time as a minister showed up - which could have been many, many months.

Harriett had 11 children; Jerome, Frederick, Duncan, Hannah J____________, Ellen, William Arthur, George, Lucie, Franny, Mary C__________, and Nancy.

Jerome was said to have been buried at Carsonville, Michigan, and the widow Harriett moved to her

daughter Ellen's home at Plains, Oklahoma. Harriett died from ________________ (cause) on ________________ 1904 and was buried in the Pioneer Cemetery at Beaver, Oklahoma. The photo to the right is of Harriett Toles (thank you Janet).
