Note | She We take the spelling of Cecelia's given names from Murray Fair's transcription of Mount Vernon Cemetery. This transcription also provides us with her date of death. Our information for Cecelia's dates and places of birth and baptism is taken from Ida Reed's transcription of Wesleyan Methodist baptisms. The transcription shows the child's name as Celea Lagilla. Her name as shown in the transcription of her gravestone seems the more likely. A closer reading of Cecelia's baptism information is taken from the image of the page whereon her baptism is entered. The page is actually for Brantford Township and while this detail is not entered down the page it does appear that the family resided in the township as opposed to the town. Likewise, at the time of the marriage of Charles and Eliza, he is shown as resident in Brantford and this appears under the heading of township. A record of the family's residence in the township is yet to be found. Since Cecelia and her brother are buried in Mount Vernon Cemetery, which is located in Brantford Township, this location is probably not too far away. |
