Mary Ella Sherwood
ID # 9538, (1876-1945)
| Father | Thompson Sherwood (1840-1920) |
| Mother | Jane A. Dynes (1838-1921) |
| Baptism | Mary Ella Sherwood was baptized on 5 December 1876 at Fergus, Wellington Co, Ontario. |
| Marriage | She married John Taylor, son of John Taylor and Janet Dryden, in January 1905 at Fergus, Wellington Co. A direct record of marriage for John Taylor and Mary Ella Sherwood has not been found. The Wellington County marriage records in general have been searched without success. It is entirely likely that the omission is a clerical error.The birth registration for son James tells that John Taylor and Mary Ella Sherwood were married in Fergus in January of 1905. For the moment, this appears to be the closest we can come to a marriage record. |
| Death | She died on 22 December 1945 at Spragues Road, North Dumfries, Waterloo Co., at age 69. |
| Burial | She was buried on 24 December 1945 at Sec. 3, Mountview Cemetery, Galt, Ontario. |
| Note | Birth reg. 035933-77 Fergus, Wellington Co. Mary Elizabeth Sherwood born Fifth December, A.D. 1876. Parents Thompson Sherwood, merchant, and Jane Ann Dynes. Physician Dr. Groves. Informant T. Sherwood, merchant, Fergus. Birth filed with registrar 6 January, 1877. Mary's middle name is shown in this tree as Ella. Was Elizabeth, as shown above, entered in error? Was it a handwriting issue? Or did the parents later decide upon a change? The latter isn't unheard of. By the time of the 1881 census, while the handwriting is difficult, her middle name does appear to be shown as Ella. She was also a witness in the marriage of her sister Alice Gertrude and, here, her middle name is shown as Ella. Her middle name is shown as Ella on birth records for her children. See marriage notes for John and Mary. Death reg. 079091-45 North Dumfries, Waterloo Co. Mrs. Mary Taylor died Dec. 22, 1945, age 70. Born December 5 (year not shown). Widow. Born Ontario.
