** 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:

Death of Mrs. T. B. Ronson
reader of the Observer will remember, no doubt, the serious accident by which Mrs. Thos. B. Ronson of Middleton, was rendered entirely helpless through having both of her arms broken by the running away of her horse and the upsetting of the cutter. This accident occured on the 14th of February last. This week it is our sad duty to chronicle the death of this estimable lady Monday night through inflammation of lungs and heart disease.
It appears that her system was very much weakened by the accident referred to, and when, after catching cold, inflammation of the lungs set in she was indeed in a precarious condition. Her physician, Dr. Sinclair of this town, managed to allay the inflammation, which was greatest in the left lung, and there was very little apprehension about her eventual recovery.
It seems however that she was also troubled with heart disease, and the proximity of the infected lung to that most important organ gave rise to a very dangerous complication, which no physician could provide against or combat successfully. Her death is attributable, therefore, to heart disease aggravated by the inflammation of the lungs from which she suffered and her weakened condition consequent upon the severe hurts she received some weeks ago. Her death is something of a local calamity because she was an energetic woman, who, since her husband's sudden death about a year and four months ago, has endeavored to carry out all his projects for the forwarding of the interests of this section of the country.
Nearly all of her children are in well-to-do circumstances, but there are two very young boys one of them being about fourteen years of age and the other between 8 and 10 - at home. These children it will be the sad duty of the elder ones to protect until they become of age when the property connected with the old homestead, one of the finest farms in the country, will be divided for their benefit.
The deceased lady was a sister of the late John Haley, who expired so suddenly, and she made the third one in the Haley family to die within the last year.
The funeral, which was conducted by Mr. Carpenter of this town, took place on Thursday afternoon, the remains of the deceased being interred byt he side of those of her lamented husband in the burying ground of the Methodist Church between Courtland and Ronson -- Tilsonburg Observer
