Biography

This profile is part of the Clezie  Name Study.

Margaret was born in 1877 at Percy Township, Ontario.

Confusingly, there were 2 Margaret Gray Clazies, both born in 1877, one in Canada, the other in Scotland! They are identified as Clazie-180 and Clazie-198. Both were granddaughters of Margaret Gray (1791-1867) and her husband John Clazie (1787-1852).

The 1881 Canada census at Percy Township, Ontario showed this family - but the handwriting was poor so the surname was mistakenly indexed at www.familysearch.org as "Clorzie" instead of "Clazie". Her middle name "Gray" came from her grandmother but was sometimes misspelled "Grey", like the colour.

Margaret was shown as "Maggie" in the 1881 Canada census at Scarborough, Ontario, with her mother and brother John.

Margaret Gray Clazie married Robert Mercer White in 1905 in Percy Township.

She died in 1962 at Campbellford, Ontario and was buried at Warkworth, Ontario.
