According to this website, the Ontario Death Registrations did not list the parents' names and places of birth until 1909 +.

Now how to find that data for persons who died in Middlesex County, Ontario (Michael Powers) on 22 October 1885 and (Mary Powers) 8 May 1893?  Newspapers? The London Room of the London Public Library?

Was She Mary (McGovern) Powers?


In the 1891 Census taken in Ontario, an elderly Mary Powers was enumerated with Charles, Elizabeth and Lilly Hillbourne in London.

Canada Census, 1891 

Name: Mary Powers
Gender: Female
Age: 81
Estimated Birth Year: 1810
Birthplace: Ireland
Marital Status: Widowed
Religion: Free Church
Province: Ontario
District: London City

Relationship, if any between Mary Powers and the Hilbornes?  Don't know.

The Mary Powers of interest to me was Mary (McGovern) Powers, the wife of Michael Powers.
