  • Notes 

    • John Byron was an only child, he married an Ida Alberta Young on March 5, 1889 in Ameliasburg.
      They had 6 children, he left the family when the children were young and moved to Montreal where he died in 1925.
      According to Kathleen Lina, her father split from his wife Ida, when Kathleen was a small child, because he drank to excess.
      He left his family and moved to Montreal. He died in Montreal, but is buried in the Belleville Cemetery beside his wife.
      He is buried in Plot R, Section 8, Grave 94, Cons. 1162.

      The story goes, that John Byron took his daughter Leila Muriel to Rochester, N.Y. to live with her older brother Percival. Sometime before October 1920.

      Ida Alberta Young was the daughter of William Andrew Young and Margaret Ann Vail. She was born in Consecon, Ontario.
      She was buried in the Belleville Cemetery on Nov. 4th,1957. - Plot R, Sect. 8, Cons.1162.

      William Andrew Young was a carpenter and fisherman. He was stern, strict, and stout-hearted.
      Margaret Ann Vail was Welsh, a lovely fair skinned, meek person.
      They had 6 children: Emmaline, Amanda, Ida, John, Letitia, and Edith. They lived in Consecon, Ontario.
      Ida eventually lived in Carrying Place - just down the road.

      Murphy vs Goodmurphy
      Note: John Byron may have gone by the surname Murphy, as did some of his children.
      Much of the information retrieved from Ancestry.Ca has recordings under the surname "Murphy".
      However, I do note that the Marriage Notice for Netah Grace, has her surname as Goodmurphy, and her parents as John B Goodmurphy and Ida Young Goodmurphy.
      According to Lelia Muriel's descendants, she elected to use the surname Goodmurphy.
      The older Census records tended to use, for example: John G Murphy.
      I have elected to use the Goodmurphy surname for the whole family, John Byron's grandfather John C. eventually went by that surname. John C.'s older brother Lawrence went by Goodmurphy. So did the youngest brother Francis. Whether Murphy or Goodmurphy, they were all blood-related.
