Alberta Lundy, mother of Canadian writer Mazo [de la] Roche
While reading about Canada's famous author Mazo de la Roche (1879-1961), creator of the Whiteoak family and the estate of Jalna, I notice she was born in Newmarket, Ontario. Her parents were William Roche, a salesman, and Alberta LUNDY.
Since Mazo Roche (she added the 'de la' later) was an only child, I presume her parents married in the late 1870's. I read that they adopted her orphaned cousin, with last name of CLEMENT, who became a life-long friend and companion of Mazo.
Does anyone posting here know who Alberta Lundy's family were ? I assume she was born sometime between 1840 and 1850 in Ontario ?
How was the family name of Clement connected to the Roche and Lundy names in the mid-19th century ?
