Notes:

Name:
Named as "Louisa May" in the 1881 census. Her death cert (naming parents as John Hurlburt and Jane Gilmore) names her as "Margaret Louise Hussey." 1891 and 1901 census as "Margaret Hussey."

Possible that this is the eldest dau in the 1881 census household, Mary Jane, instead of Louise? Mary Jane in 1881 calculated to birth in 1867, Louisa May to 1869. Margaret Louisa was born 1868, according to death cert and 1901 census.

Birth:
1881 census, age 12, calculating to 1868-69 birth.
Death registration, 1927, age 58, calculating to 1868 birth.
Death cert gives date of birth as "28 March"

Place of birth from death reg.

Initially some birth date confusion, as I took her for the Margaret Hussey found in 1891 and 1901 census as wife of Reuben Hussey. She was actually the wife of John Franklin Hussey, as confirmed by the marriage cert of daughter Era Dell Hussey, 1924, witnessed by Mervin Hussey. Mervin was also the informant for Margaret Louise's death cert, which named him as her son--and also named her parents as John Hurlbert and Jane Ann Gilmore.

Other Events:

• Parents: John's death certificate names his parents as William Hurlburt, born in Vermont, and Mary (no maiden surname or birthplace stated). Informant, son Ernest Hurlburt.
• Occupation: Jul 1885, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada; Railroad Section foreman
