Ellen (Murphy) Billo was the 3rd great-grandmother of my grandchildren.
Michigan, Death Certificates, 1921-1952
birth: 30 July 1859 Ontario, Canada
death: 25 April 1938 Detroit, Wayne, Michigan
father: James Murphy
Ellen (Murphy) Billo's parents were James Murphy and Ellen Davey. In 1861 2 year old Ellen Murphy was residing with her parents, James and Ellen, as well as her brother, Timothy.
1861 Census - Canada West [Norfolk, Ontario, Canada]
An 1877 plat map of Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada (below), included a J. Murphy and a James Murphy. Below is the plat for J. Murphy. I wasn't sure which (if either) Murphy was correct. An agricultural census (if it exists for Norfolk County in 1861) would help.
