Two marriage dates were given to me by M I Haley Hopper Nov. 2002
First date is Oct 4, 1875, Eden Ontario as Lucy Barton & Nathan Haley
Second date to an Ann Elizabeth GEE is Dec. 21, 1895
Above info requires more verification
I found a marriage between Lucy Barton and William Hopkins in Aylmer Ontario 1887, this Lucy Barton names her parents as Sylvestor & Sophie, and that she is a Spinster. Thus if Family legend has Nathan Haley & Lucy Barton tog, perhaps it was residing together for awhile, but never married. I haven't found any children who claim parents as Nathan Haley & Lucy Barton 2007

** 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

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
