Humphrey's son Frank


Fortunately, Frank's wedding information included the names of his parents or I probably wouldn't have been able to find any definitive information on him.

Frank (Francis) was born around 1832-1841 in Sligo, Ireland.  At some point he settled in  Winnipeg, Canada.  He was living there at least between 1881 and 1901.

He was in Canada when he married his wife Margaret Melissa Wilson on 24 Dec 1868, in Haldimand, Ontario, Canada.  Melissa was born around 4 Jan 1850, in Cayuga, Ontario, Canada.  She died 25 July 1904, probably in Winnipeg.

Frank supposedly returned to the "old country" and died possibly in London, but I have not found any proof of this.  He isn't buried with his wife, though, so maybe he did.  Supposedly he died after 1902.

He and Margaret had a daughter, supposedly adopted, named Winnifred.  She was born in 1884 in Michigan.  She died in 1954.  She married Norman Benson Tufts in 1906.  They had two daughters.  Kathleen Margaret Tufts, born in 1910, died in 1998, married Cecil Lorne Harding Laycock.  Irene Tufts, 1920-2009, married Cephas Durham.
