Birth Notes:
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunenburg_District%2C_Ontario):
Eastern District was one of four districts of Upper Canada created in 1788 . It comprised the St. Lawrence-Quebec border area, now eastern Ontario. It was originally named Lunenburg District, likely for the Brunswick-Lüneburg , but was renamed in 1792. It was abolished in 1849.
The district was originally bounded to the west by a line running north from the mouth of the Gananoque River and to the east by Lower Canada . The district town was New Johnstown, later renamed Cornwall . In 1798, the district was reorganized to consist of the counties of:
Dundas
Glengarry
Ontario (abolished in 1800)
Prescott
Russell
Stormont
In 1849, the district was replaced by the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry .
Edith married William Havelock Wallace, son of John Donald Wallace and Hannah Patmore, on 18 Mar 1911 in Long Beach, Los Angeles, California, United States. (William Havelock Wallace was born on 14 Sep 1870 in Elora, Wellington Co., Ontario, Canada and died about Aug 1935.)
