Biography

Research Notes

• All of the censuses show she was born in Ontario, Canada. Her marriage record gets more specific stating she was born in Matilda Township, Ontario, Canada. Her death record states she was born in Ireland which is not possible based on the timeline of her parents who were never in Ireland which is what findagrave.com used. A note has been sent to findagrave.com. Based on their child, William Thomas Robinson's death certificate, it was her husband, Richard who was born in Ireland and she was born in Ontario.
• There are two marriage records for Mary Margaret Shaver and Richard Robinson which have conflicting marriage dates and marriage places. Is it possible they had two ceremonies?
