Mary (Moynahan) Weyburn (1829-1851)

This blog post is about Mary Moynahan of Sandwich, Ontario who married Dr William Weyburn of Detroit, Michigan in 1849 .

Like Denis Moynahan (1823-1865) of  Sandwich township Mary's life was also cut short (she died two years after her marriage at the age of 22)which means that I know so very little about her.

This is the only record of the marriage between Miss Mary Moynahan and Dr. William Weyburn.

Another Mystery Solved: John Miller Moreland's Second Wife

My great-grandfather John Miller Moreland's (1882-1940) life story has always been filled with some surprises, some challenges and even more unknowns.

John Moreland was only six-years-old when his mother Agnes Bell Hind died and, because his father was at sea (worked on ships as a "fireman" and later remained in Melbourne Australia), John was sent with his sisters to a Scottish workhouse and later enlisted in the British Army.
