  • Notes 
    • Death notice of his wife Cecilia Mary (Jean Jeffrey Library Item 4 page 5):
      "Accountant of the Presbyterian Church offices" living at 4 Vincent St, Toronto.

      In 1894/5 he and family are listed as living at 142 Bloor St West, Toronto ("Elite Directory" published by James Bain & Sons as abstracted by Bill Cowan May 2020 in a file he called "Blue Book 1913")

      Mary Jeffrey Cross's death notice reports Andrew to have been of Toronto and having operated in the past (before 1902) an extensive hardware business in St Catherines (see Janet Jeffrey Libraray, Item 4, page 5)

      Mary Jeffrey's marriage to Dr Luther Cross was held at her brother's home in Toronto (130 Bloor St West) - probably the same brother Andrew mentioned in her death notice. (See both notices in Janet Jeffrey Library Item 4, page 25).

      Land Titles records in the Northumberland County Archives show that Andrew and Cecilia, in 1876, bought the North half of Lot 4 in Block D of Lot 16 Conc A (and half of the road).

      A & H Jeffrey (preusmably Anndrew and Henry) launched a 23 foot steam boat on the Avon River in Stratford in 1880 to give tours. Accoroding to a newspaper articles found by John Cowan on March 3, 2020 in Bill Campbell's materials received from Jim Jeffrey, via John Graham in 1990 See
