• Notes

  In the 1881 census, William Lyons's family is listed as German in origin. In the 1911 census, William and Caroline live alone in Parry Sound. In the field that marks Month of Birth it lists William as "don't know," but his birth year is still marked as 1850. Family tradition says that William abandoned his wife and took up with another woman, but was thrown from a train on their way west. She arrived, but he didn't.
