    • Marriage Info; Source M I Haley Hopper. Not verified as yet, Nov. 2002 I have not found this marriage as yet, 2006 hw.

      Haven't been able to verify this marriage date from the usual sources, but again M. I. Haley Hopper, was a thorough Haley researcher and perhaps her source was a Family record in a Family Bible - and as Ms M I Haley Hopper is now deceased - I cannot verify further with her. 2017 hw

      Joseph's wife of Ida Malissa Claus is not mentioned on this page with Joseph. On Page 9,
      Schedule 2, 1901 Census:
      For Line 38, the location is noted as NW1/2, Lot 19, conc. 15. It seems this property is owned by the Millar Bros.; noted above and below Joseph Haley's name on Schedule 1; hence presumably the Millar family is Joseph's employer.

      Tis a puzzle whey Ida & Joseph lived apart, she supposedly in Michigan and Joseph in Ontario. Did they separate officially or just prefer to stay apart for other reasons.
