Biography

Daughter of Thomas and Mary Jenkins.

Her gravestone says that she died in her 91st year, putting her birth year at approximately 1859 or 1860. Her birth was registered in Bridgend, Glamorganshire, Wales around March 1865. However, the 1911 census says that she was born in March 1866, with the 1901 saying 1864. That puts her birth date approximately in March between the years of 1864-1866.

Married William Hier on 23 April 1881 in Glamorganshire, Wales.* Source birth affidavit of daughter Edith. However, their marriage was registered in Bridgend shortly before immigrating to Canada in early 1883.

Immigration to Canada in 1883.

As a widow married widower Thomas Dennis Lang on 19 Sept 1927 in London, Ontario. It is interesting to note that he seems to be her neighbour in the 1921 census!

She died on 30 July 1950, likely in London, and is buried next to first husband William in Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
