  • Notes 
    • While James died in Kincardine, he was buried in Clandeboye. This is according to the records of the Messiah anglican church in Kincardine which say he was buried in the” Clandeboye cemetery”. Ian Westell believes this was the Lewis Cemetery presumably beside his wife Jane. In 1963 all the tombstones were buried and a monument put up with all the names of those buried there. James' name does not appear however it is speculated that there was no tombstone as there was no money for one at the time of his death. -A copy of a 1932 report of the Cemetery Board contained in a London -middlesex Branch O.G.S. publication on cemeteries in middlesex county(No. 77 in Series) mentions that the number of internments was 50 yet the index in the publication only records 37 names so it is quite possible James could be buried there.
      note on baptisms
      Jame's and Bridget's children Robert and Vernatta and Mary were all baptized together on September 26,1851 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, Lucan ,Biddulph Twp.midlesex county by J..D. Ryan priest - see baptism records catholic archives in London St Peter's Basilica also see web link attached .
      James owned land in Clandeboye Biddulph Township on lot 12 Hodgins St. First Concession.Bought on December 1st 1869 and sold in 1904 as well as lots 5 and 8,range 4 bought in 1869 and sold in 1876 .See land transactions. An article in the London Advertiser of Tuesdy,April 13,1875 reported that this house of James Waistell burned down. 'Fire At Ireland Village-Some days since the dwelling house,cabinet shop and turning shop of Mr. Wm Howard of the village of Ireland were destroyed by fire... At the same time the houses of MR.Jas Westle and Mrs. Hawkesworth were destroyed...." In 1904 he moves to his sons home in Kincardine. In the newspaper Exeter Avocate on May 5,1904,page 1 it says he intends to sell his house to a Mr. Wilfins,butcher .
