      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"
