  Father	James LAFFERTY,   b. 2 Jan 1840, Ireland d. 15 Mar 1922, Murray Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada (Age 82 years)
  Mother	Jane MCAULEY,   b. 18 Apr 1834, Murray Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada d. 10 May 1917, Murray Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada (Age 83 years)
  Marriage	James LAFFERTY had been living at his place of residence for 30 years at the time of his death, that means he moved there about 1882. We know he was there for the 1881 census so a date of about 1881 for their marriage seems likely. James does not appear on the St. Peter's Trenton Parish Register for June 1858 so he was likely attending elsewhere (Woller?) Jane Maguire had Con 1 Lot 10 Murray, Northumberland in the 1878 Atlas A James Lafferty had Con 5 Lot 10 in Rawdon, Hastings in the 1878 Atlas While not very far away certainly not close either, and seperatly registered in their respective names. Indicates the possibility that they were unmarried in 1878. There is no record of James & Jane ever getting married, it is possible that they were never married. They start to list their names together on the property records at of the 9th of November 1878. She did however start using the surname LAFFERTY sometime between the 1878 atlas and the 9th November 1878 on the property records. Her son John had the LAFFERTY name in the 1881 census (lost him after that) her older daughters did not take the LAFFERTY name. Jeanette was christened in 1875 three years after her birth which was unsual for the McGuire family but she was listed as having James LAFFERTY as her father and was christened with the surname LAFFERTY. Edward on the other hand was christened in 1877 as Edward McGuire and his only parent listed was Jane McGuire, there was no mention on the name LAFFERTY at all. The late baptism of Jeanette and the lack of LAFFERTY for Edward could mean that James & Jane were in fact never married, a fact that would have been known to the priest and could have resulted in Edward's christening being recorded as it was.

• Notes

  It is likely that his father was James LAFFERTY, he certainly used the LAFFERTY name in all the records I have found but his baptism lists him as McGuire, possibly because his parents were not married and the priest knew of that fact. His sister who was baptised two years earlier was under the LAFFERTY name and even listed James as her father in the record.
