  • Notes 
    • Ref: Clan Munro files - Stroud, Anna Margaret

      The 1861 census shows John and his family still living in Williamsburg Township. This census gives his wife's name as Mira.

      The Stroud reference says Mariah Beckstead (or Bedstead) was born in Canada.

      On the 1861 census of the same area, both Henry Munro and his wife and family as well as their parents are gone. John is listed as:
      John Munrow (Munro) farmer, 49 yrs old
      Mira Munrow, age 36
      Alvey Munrow, age 15
      Fanny Munrow, age 13
      John Munrow, age 10
      Luther Munrow, age 8
      Calvin Munrow, age 6
      Enus Munrow, age 4

      Living on one side of them are the Durant's with an "Athelie Rose" (14 yrs?) On the other side are the Fotterby's (?):Henry and his wife Ellen with 7 children, and Gorden and his wife Mariah and several children (all members of the Lutheran church)
