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

• Notes

  It is interesting that Mary Jane Weeks & John Haley's first child - Squire Wellington is born 1849 and Mary Jane & John were married in 1845; generally children came immediately within the first year or so; childbirths and pregnancies were not without complications during this time period, hence one explanation could be miscarriages or another explanation, children still not found hw 2006. Irene Hopper ( another serious Haley researcher living in Ontario) says one William Haley born about 1840 belongs to John Haley and spouse Athalinda; certainly 1840 is too early for John Haley and Mary Jane Weeks hw 2006 1851 Census , Enumeration District 2, Canada West, Oxford Cty., Dereham Twp, Part 2 Lines 31-35 John Haley, Farmer, Born Canada, New C.

Family # 114 Mary Healy, Female, Widowed, Age 65, Birth abt 1826, Birthplace Ontario, Head, Baptist, Father & Mother birthplace Ontario Although the surname entries on many of the census records vary in spelling, I believe this to be 'our' Mary Jane (Weeks) Haley - as her husband John died in 1884, thus widowhood fits, the district is that of 1871 census and I cannot find a 1881 census for anyone in this family to futher compare. Source for Death of June (Weeks ) Haley Oxford Tribune and Canada Dairy Reporter - Dec 5/ 1877 Haley: On the 26th ult., the wife of Jr. John Haley, of the 9th concession of South Norwich.* I had long thought this was Mary Jane, but spelled "June" but after finding the record below, the above entry is not relevant to our ancestors at this time. There are numerous Haleys about and the names are similar in the naming pattern, so tis difficult to sort them out. hw Death Record: Source Ontario Deaths, Cty Essex, South Sandwich, Page 327/328, Schedule C Reg # 008656 Line 24 Name: Haley, Mary Jane Sex: Female Date: Nov. 26th 1899 Age: 72 Res: 294 N.T.R (North Talbot Road) Married, Housewife Birthplace: Simcoe Cause of Death: Cancer - 6 mos Physician: Dr. Munroe Religion: Baptist Informant: Joseph Haley Registered: Nov. 27, 1899* I am quite certain this is our Mary Jane - as Joseph is her Son, age fits with her birth year as I determined from the various census and Family Lore. hw (Medical):Death Certificate 26 November 1899
