| Notes for Charles T. OAKS | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1842 - Not found; His mother does not appear as a head of household in 1842 census. 1851 - Not found; Some of 1851 census in Bayham did not survive. 1861 - Age 30, Farmer 1871 - Age 39, Farmer 1881 - Age 61, Farmer 1891 - Age 62, Farmer, father born in Ontario, other born in Nova Scotia 1901 - Age 72, Gentleman, b. 1 Aug 1828 According to the delayed registration of birth of his daughter Valeria by his son Owen, his racial origin was English. The following is evidence that Charles T. OAKS is the son of James OAKS IV and Mary Ann DOWLING. The 1891 Canada census lists Charles and Mary E. OAKS with their five youngest children. It gives the birthplace of Charles' parents as Ontario (father) and Nova Scotia (mother), which is somewhat consistent with the birthplaces of James OAKS IV and Mary Ann DOWLING. Mary OAKS (nee DOWLING) is listed as being born in Nova Scotia in the 1871 Canada census in Bayham Twp., and James OAKS is listed in the 1851 Canada census, and in the 1805 Norfolk County census, as being born in the U.S. The 1805 census indicates his father moved from Nova Scotia in 1804, and his obituary says he moved from Nova Scotia in 1803, which would mean, that although James OAKS was born in the U.S. and not Ontario, he probably grew up in Ontario from about the age of three. The 1871 Canada census lists Mary OAKS, age 60, as born in Nova Scotia. Her age is probably inaccurate. Her tombstone gives her birthyear as 1800, which would mean she was about 70 years old in 1871. Charles T. OAKS is buried at Trinity Anglican Church Cemetery, in Port Burwell, Ontario, with his wife, sister, daughter, and mother, Mary Ann (1800-1877). There is a single headstone for all five. Another tomb in the cemetery is for Daniel OAKS (1829-1839), and the inscription says he is the son of Mrs. Mary Ann OAKS, and he is probably the brother of Charles T. OAKS. It is odd that Daniel's father's name is not given. Whether he be deceased or alive, one would expect his name to be inscribed there as well, unless, possibly, if there had been a bad marriage. James OAKS IV appears in the 1851 census in Charlotteville, Norfolk Co., Ontario, with his second wife Annie BURLINGHAM, and their seven children. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
