  • Notes 
    • 1861 Census Canada West, Waterloo as Reuben EBY
      1871 Census Woolwich, Waterloo North, Ontario as Ruben EBY
    • From Scott Buschlen 04/2009

      1- all of their children were born in Wellington Co, not Waterloo Co as M/A would like to have it.
      this I confirmed mostly by birth records. this also makes sense, as the family lived in Wellington Co as per the 1901 census

      2 - first child Angus. I couldn't find his birth record, but his marriage record says he was born in Wellington.
      note that his marriage took place in Waterloo Co., Ontario, not Saskatchewan

      3 - Luella, marriage to Oliver Lichty was on Mar 30 1910 Wellington Co., not 1909. Her death record is dated July 20 1911 Wellington Co.

      4 - Johanna, marriage to the same Oliver Lichty was on Nov 20 1912 in Wellington Co

      5 - Is Reuben spelled Reuben or Rueben? his grave marker: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=17819668&
