| Baptism | William McConnell was baptized in 1860 at Canada. |
| Marriage | He married Emma Kerr, daughter of Edwin Vespasian Kerr and Sarah Antoinette Bell, on 3 June 1885 at Markdale, Artemesia Twp., Grey County, Ontario. Mrge reg. 003552-85 Artemesia Twp., Grey Co. William McConnell, 25, bachelor, farmer, Church of England. Born Canada, residing Euphrasia. Parents Ansley and Emily McConnell. Emma Kerr, 17, spinster, Church of England. Born Canada, residing Euphrasia. Parents 'Edmund' and Sarah Kerr. Witnesses Thos. Carruthers and Emma McConnell, both of Euphrasia. On June 3rd, 1885, at Markdale, by Andrew Wilson. The reader may notice Markdale marriages registered in both Glenelg and Artemisia townships. This is entirely possible, for Markdale straddled the township line. There is actually a swath of surveys angling through Grey County that runs along the Toronto-Sydenham Road. Looked at from the standpoint of individual townships, this has the appearance of a gore, for the Toronto-Sydenham survey runs at a northwest to southeast angle, whereas the surveys for the townships are much more east-west. |
