Notes - Leonard Tait Stewart was born in 1871 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. He was named after his maternal grandfather, Leonard Tait.
In 1881, Leonard was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his parents and siblings.
Leonard was only 13 years old when his father died.
In 1891 and 1901, Leonard was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada with his widowed mother and his siblings. He was employed as a shoe cutter.
In 1906, Leonard married Florence McMeeking. Their wedding record indicates that he was a shoe cutter, but by 1907 and 1909, the baptismal records for their daughters indicate that Leonard was a grocer. Leonard's uncle, David Tait, was a shoe maker and Leonard's father ran a grocery store, so it's possible that Leonard was both a shoe maker and a grocer. Harriett Jones remembered him running the Stewart family grocery store at King Street and Gage Avenue in Hamilton. Leonard died of electrocution. His marriage to Florence McMeekin indicates that he was a widower at the time of the marriage, but no prior marriage has so far been found.
Leondard died at the young age of 44; the third generation of father's in a row to not live past their mid-40s.
