Hi Hilary,
It was a bit late when I replied to your message so besides the spelling mistakes I forgot to mention another important detail from your last posting.The church that had your grandmother's funeral was the church I grew up in as a kid (Central United).Originally it was a Methodist Church before 1925 and the main church of the Tackaberry family.Before that time, your family (Carter and Tackaberry) had connections to both the Presbyterian Church (Knox Presbyterian on Webster Street - as one drives west up the hill from main street and the corner by the Golden Dawn nursing home) and the Methodist Church.I believe this is all mentioned in my uncle's book on the history of Central United Church (the amalgamation over the years of Knox Presbyterian and Lion's Head Methodist in 1925 and later in 1970 of Centreville United and Lion's Head United).
Also, I found this in the history of Eastnor book:

See page 50, it mentions the beginning of various industries including Millinery begun by Janet and Ida Tackaberry.Who they refer to as Janet was your ancestor, right - great-grandmother?I think you referred to her as Jenny.Jenny must have been one of the oldest children in the family if she was born in 1878.When was her brother John N born?
Thanks,
Brian
