Ella Edith O'Hare                           Born January 14, 1873
                                                                Owen Sound, Ontario

I first found Charles in the 1881 Census records of Port Hope Township, Durham County where he was living with his father Silas and Step-mother Ellen Amelia Pomeroy.  This family was fairly easy to track as it appeared to follow my branch of this tree.  I next found Silas and his family living in Orillia, Ontario where my grt-grandfather John Wesley Winters and two of his brothers had settled.

                                                                      
He was a member of quite a large family and after getting married to Ella Edith O'Hare went on to have a big family of his own!  Ellen was the daughter of John O'Hare and Mary Jane Daniels.  Researching this tree I happened across Charles death certificate when I was doing some research at the Cloverdale Library here in British Columbia.  Though Silas and his third wife Louisa Hawkins along with several other members of this tree had moved to British Columbia I was still surprised to find that he had passed away here as well.  Both Ella and Charles are buried in North Bay, Ontario.

I have been able to document that they had the following children:
Orville (aka Brille), Charles,Irene, Gladys, Vera, Mona, Edna, Beth, Cecil, Phyllis, Grace.  There may have been more that I have not found but I will continue to look.
