• Notes

  Agnes Stewart has not been found in 1871. In 1881, at age 20, Agnes Stewart was residing in Guelph, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with her parents and younger siblings. She was employed as a school mistress (teacher). In 1890, Agnes Stewart married in Guelph, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, to William Thompson Rutherford. He had a son, Albert, age 10, from a previous marriage. In 1891, at age 29, Agnes Rutherford was residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with her husband and their two children. In 1901, at age 39, Agnes C Rutherford was residing in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, with her husband and their children. "Agnes Celine Stewart was named after her father's mother, Agnes Walker, or his sister Agnes. She probably grew up in Guelph and was a teacher there (according to 1882-83 Vernon Directory). After her husband's death in Winnipeg, Agnes took Gerald back to Guelph where they lived from 1904 to 1907 close to their relatives. They went on several trips to Scotland and on one they visited an "aunt" (possibly Robert's sister Margaret Stewart) in Aberdeen, which is where Gerald's grandfather clock came from. Gerald and his mother returned to Winnipeg in 1908 and lived in an apartment near the Winnipeg Winter Club, while Gerald began his study of law. Agnes died about 1909 and is buried in St. John's church cemetery." (descendant Malcolm Sissons)
