Notes:

Birth Source from 1901 Cdn census

Cannot find this family on the 1881 Census - have looked all thru Simcoe North & South, have found some spellings in Quebec, but children don't match. It appears by the births of the children they should be in the Vespra Twp. somewhere, but so far no luck in finding them HW

1881 Census of Canada in Vespra, Simcoe North, Janet Orok is named and a dtr Margaret but not Robert, so it is possible he has died before this census taking HW

Sources for my info regarding the Orrock families is from Lillian Bowdery, Barrie, Ontario. She is related as Isabel Ann Wilkie, wife of Wm James Dick is her gggrandmother. Lillian Bowdery's sources are from a Orrock Family member as well as "The History of MIdhurst"

Robert married Janet Dick on 11 Jul 1830 in Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland. Janet (daughter of William James Dick and Isabel Ann Wilkie) was born on 18 Oct 1807 in Aberdour, Fife, Scotland; died on 27 Oct 1883 in Barrie, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Barrie, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada.

Notes:

The Story via Kays/ Dicks that immigrated to USA & Canada, state that Janet Married Robert Orrick. The IGI confirms a marriage of Janet Dick & Robert Orrock in Aberdour 1830 as does OPR. IGI lists births to Janet & Robert as Isabella (1830 Aberdour), Isabella 1832 (Auchtertool), Robert (1834 Auchtertool), Margaret (1837 Ceres), and Robert (1839 Ceres).
