William James Gilbert - still looking for family
I still looking for someone who might have some information on my gggrandfather William James Gilbert.
He married Dinnah Staveley on December 19, 1864 in St. Clair, Michigan, USA.
I have him in census starting from 1861 to 1901 living in Moore Township, Lambton County, ON, Canada.In these census his place of birth goes back and forth from USA to Upper Canada.On his death registration it says he was born in USA.Unfortunately, I have no real idea what state in the USA, but some of the family thinks it may have been Michigan. All I know is that he was born as per the 1901 census on January 13, 1839, but his cemetery stone says 1940. I have no parents or siblings names.
He died on May 1, 1908 but again, unfortunately Canada did not require to have parents names on the death registration till 1911...therefore, no parents names there.Even his obituary notice mentions no family.
Please if someone can help me, that would be great.
Vicki
