Mary Cousins in L & A County, Ontario married twice

Can I please find out from someone why Mary Cousins has been posted as "Catherine Mary Clark"? The woman I am ref. to was born May 10, 1841, died Jan. 18, 1933. She married Richard Eli Wagar about 1857 and had at least these five Wagar children:

Catherine Lucinda Wagar born 1858 married Levi Vanness/Vanest

Elizabeth Ann Wagar born 1862

Darius Walter Wagar born 1864 married Susan McCutcheon

Frances Ella Wagar 1866-1868

William James Wagar born April 12, 1870, married Helen Hamilton

Richard Eli Wagar died about 1869 and I believe he may be buried with his parents William Everhart Wagar and Lucinda Clark at the Vrooman Cem., Camden East. Richard and Mary's daughter Frances Ella is buried there as well.

On the 1871 census at Camden East Mary age 28 years is listed with her 3 children Elizabeth, Darius and William ages 9, 7 and 2 years.

On Nov. 7, 1873 Mary re-married to Sanford Dorman Hawley (son of Jeptha Rogers Hawley and Mary Horton/Hartin). They had at least two sons Frederick born 1876 who married Myrtle Milligan, and Franklin Dorman born 1883 who married Alma Violetta McCane (McCann?).

On the 1881 census at Camden East, Mary was recorded with second husband Dorman Hawley, and her youngest Wagar son William was recorded in her home but with surname Hawley.

When Mary re-married in 1873 to Dorman Hawley it was recorded IN ERROR on that marriage reg. that her parents were James and Catherine Wagar. In fact they were James Cousins and Catherine Johnston. On the 1871 census for Camden East, Mary's daughter Catherine Wager is living with Mary's parents James and Catherine Cousins who were then ages 74 and 64 years. I have no idea yet where her son Darius Walter Wager was living in 1871 and 1881, and I do not know what happened to daughter Elizabeth Ann.

I have names of two brothers for Mary Cousins- James born in 1827 in Ireland who married Elizabeth Lorimer and William born about 1843 who married Cintha or Cynthia McComber or McCumber. Because there is sich a huge gap between James (1827) and Mary (1841) I wonder if there are other Cousins children who fit into this family?

Mary's father James Cousins was born in England about 1800 and died in 1877. Her mother Catherine Johnston was born in Ireland about 1806 and died in 1883. I cannot find Catherine in 1881 on the census- does anyone know where she was living at that time? She should be in Camden East.

I hope this info helps someone, and I would like to know source of name "Catherine Mary Clark" as attached to this Richard Eli Wagar?

Thanks from Nora
