Note for: Selina Brooks, 5 AUG 1838 - Index

Individual Note:
1. From Carol Fraser:
SELINA BROOKS d/o JOHN & ANN BROOKS b. Aug 5 1838 King Twp. Nobleton On married Archibald Wilkie Feb 2 1860 an implement dealer in Pt. Elgin. Selina's neice and namesake Selina named her son Archibald Wilkie Graham b. Feb 12, 1887 after her Uncle Archie. Buried in Port Elgin according to Doug Brooks.

2. Could Duncan Wilkie be the brother of Archibald Wilkie? They are all in Port Elgin. Archie married in 1860 and Duncan's son Archie was born 1867. Sarah may be this Archie's sister. Below there is also a brother Daniel Wilkie of Pense NWT..(Sask) Duncan shares a lot with Donald *in Saugeen Twp. In the 1867 Directory. In the picture we have of Pense Saskatchewan Donald Wilkie has gone to Pense with his wife. As these are the people in the picture:-
Mrs. D.G.Mcgillivroy, Mrs. Archibald Wilkie (Selina), Mrs. Charles Brooks (Phoebe Ann), Archibald Wilkie, Donald Wilkie,* Mrs. Donald Wilkie, Mrs. Godson (Mary Ann) Mrs. Catherine McGillivory
Standing:- Jack Lowery, Mrs. J. Lowery, Mrs Dick House, John McDonald, Charles Brooks, Mrs. Hannah, Dick House

3. ?929-92(Bruce Co) Archibald Wilkie, 25, teamster, Saugeen Twp. Port Elgin, s/o Duncan & Janet married Elizabeth Strong, 27 born England living in Port Elgin, d/o Robert & Susan Strong. Wtn. Geo Strong & Sarah Wilkie both of Port Elgin, 20 April 1892 at Port Elgin.

4. #003472-99 (Bruce Co.) John Wesley EVANS, 24, b. Walpole Haldimand, of same, Farmer, s/oWilliam EVANS & Margaret HOFFMAN, married Mrs. Agnes BRADLEY, 27, widow, b. Selkirk Haldimand, of Ashfield Huron, d/o James WILKIE & Elizabeth DRINKWATER, witnesses: John WILKIE & Lettie WILKIE, both of Huron Twp., on 4 April 1899 at James WILKIE's residence, Amberley, Huron Twp

5. 1930-92 (Bruce Co) James Anderson, 32, widower, farmer, born Wellington County living in NWT (Sask) s/o Wm & Elizabeth married Martha Bentley age 24, widow, Bruce twp. Port Elgin d/o Ezekiel & Mary Richardson, Wtn. Sarah Wilkie of Port Elgin & Daniel Wilkie of Pense NWT. Feb 2, 1892 at Mills St. Port Elgin.

6. This Anderson fellow was born in Wellington Co..like some of the Edward Brooks and Charles Brooks..and moved to the NWT (SASK) like our Brooks/Wilkie relations. Wonder if they were friends since Wilkie's also stood up for him when he married..

7. Since we know some of the Archibald Wilkies went to Pense...this Daniel could be related somehow.
