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.

** Birthplace seems to differ for John Haley, on 1871, it is printed that his birthplace was ONT., but on death certificate it is noted as England - more verification needed HW

I have been unsuccessful in finding John & Mary Jane (Weeks) Haley in the Canadian 1881 census. I have found a John Haley living with an Isabella Haley, John being a farmer in the Hamilton, Northumberland West, Div 4, Page 22, Family 103, the age is right for John but who is Isabella, further the religion is Catholic which again doesn't fit.
I found another family spelled John & Jane Healey in Ontario, but again many children living with them and the names do not fit John & Jane's family names - so where are John & Mary Jane in 1881? 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

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
