William Moore and Sophia Humphrys

According to a 1901 Canadian census, William Moore was born on March 17, 1820 in Dublin, Ireland.  . 

He married Sophia Humphrys in 1856 in Castletarra Ireland.(NO SOURCE) 

On the same 1901 census, it stated he immigrated to Canada when he was about 57 years old, in 1877.

Who are these people?


Here are some pictures of Emily Mary Fry (Toogood). The two colour photos are from one of her birthday parties.  I think she is surrounded in grandchildren and possibly great-grandchildren.  Does anyone know who is in this picture?
Where these picture are taken? or
When this picture was taken? 

The black and white one is of Emily Mary and George Leighton Fry, and with their children (I assume). Can they be identified?

All I know its before I was born, so I'm not in the picture. LOL!

Please leave a comment, (if its working) or send me an email and state which picture you are taking about. (1, 2 or 3) Thanks for the help!





Emily Mary Toogood

This is my Great-Grandmother.   
Emily Mary Toogood.

Her parents were James Toogood, and Mary Elizabeth Gates.

She was born on 15th of August 1885 in Southampton, Bath, England.   She was christened that same year at St; James church  in Southampton, Hampshire, England.

She appeared in the census in 1891 at the age of 5 years old.  She was living at 14 River Street in St, Mary, Southampton with her parents, her older sister Rosalie, her older brother Harry, and her younger brother Albert .

Emily immigrated in 1899 at the age of 14 to Canada. (I do no know if she came with her family to Canada or traveled alone).

On the 1901 census, she was listed as a servant at the age of 16 in Lanark, Ontario, Canada with the Bowland family.

She married her husband George Leighton Fry on June 14th, 1911 at the age of 26 years old.  She listed her name as Mary, but never listed her parents.  Charles Tomlinson and R Russell were the witnesses.

She had six children, George, Albert, Mary, Alice, Beatrice, and Gordon.

She died on January 8th, 1974,and buried on the 12th, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.  She had lived 88 years on the earth.

She lived through the depression, and both world wars.
