- Obit states "Mount Evergreen Cemetery" maybe she was moved (accounting for the late burial here) or maybe her remains are at Mount Evergreen Cemetery and this is just a marker?

Mother |
Mary MCGUIRE, b. 7 Feb 1859, Murray Township, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada d. 17 Jun 1935, Trenton, , Ontario, Canada (Age 76 years) |
Marriage |
5 Jan 1883 |
Toronto, , Ontario, Canada [10] |
- William and Mary do not seem to be married in Ontario, as of April 2008 I can't find any record of that marriage, they may have married in Rochester.
The census records from 1880(US) and 1881(CAN) show them as single and show their son William Jr as using the surname McGUIRE in 1880.
So if they got married it is more than likely in late 1881 or later, William Jr's immagration to Canada took place at either 1881(1911 census) or 1882(1901 census) so they may have been married before he and Mary came back to Canada.
