George McGiven

Biography

• Birth: About 1842; Toronto township, Canada West

• Marriage: 10 May 1865; Ellen (Eleanor) Hughes; West Gwillimbury, Canada West

• Note: Age 23 when married, resident of Gilford, West Gwillimbury; father George McGiver, mother not named on marriage reg'n. These folks seem to have a different surname in every source I was able to find, and what I did find took creativity! I think I'd need to scan the films to find more records. Birth reg'n for daughter Flossie is under "McGivern"; for son John Henry is "McGuiness", 1881 census is "McGivins" when they lived in West Gwillimbury. In 1881 George's occupation was R.R, Labourer. In 1901 George and Ellen Eadie, same children as in 1881, were living in Toronto. Moreover, daughter Mary Hannah Eddie, dau of George Eddie and Helen Hughes, according to her birth reg'n, born 27 May 1873.

Biography

• Marriage: 20 April 1881; Margaret Jane McLelland; Barrie, Ontario

• Note: Age 21 at the time of his marriage; resident of Innisfil at the time he married. In 1881 census John is listed as the sole occupant of his household, but is listed immediately before his grandparents, James and Mary Hughes. It appears that after the death of his father, he was raised by his grandparents, as he was living with them in 1861, age given then as 2 years old.
