Researcher's notes

This coffin plate for Ann Stewart 1802 ~ 1885 was found in Stratford Perth County Ontario.

I went and had a hunt for Ann Stewart 1802 ~ 1885 in the 1851 Census of Canada on Ancestry.com. I may have found her as you can see below. I then had a look for her in the Ontario, Canada Deaths, 1869-1932 and I found Ann Stewart in Wentworth County.
