BIRTH: He is shown in the 1871 census as 3, born in Ontario,229 and in the 1881 census as 12, born in Ontario.228
MARRIAGE: James's marriage to Jane Ann, and the resulting descendants, are not a certainty. It is possible that Jane Ann married a different James McKAGUE, but on the basis of the information we have, this is at least a good possibility. One contradiction is that James (son of Rodney) was shown in the 1871 and 1881 census in Maryborough Twp, Wellington Co. ON,228,229 while we have information that James (husband of Jane Ann) lived in Barrow Bay ON all his life.672 The places are not that far apart, and it's plausible that the family moved while James was still young. |
