Have searched 1891 Cdn census Ontario and zero results, checked Michigan & no results to find this couple. May have come further West
According to Bonnie Connolly files, there may have been two other children born to Henry Charles & Annie (Mitchell) Westbrook -
2) William c. Westbrook, born 10 Sep 1888
3) Marvin H. Westbrook born 1890
This seems highly unlikely if 1) H. C. Westbrook died or went elsewhere between 1872 and 1876 when Annie Mitchell (Westbrook) remarried to Oscar M. WilsonClinton married Annie Mitchell on 4 Mar 1871 in Woodstock, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada. Annie (daughter of C. Mitchell and L.) was born about 1848 in Darlington Twp, Canada; and died.
