James Smith (2), b. 24 January 1838 at Toronto, Ontario, d. 4 February 1910
Father: Thomas Smith (born about 1802 in England)
Mother: Eliza James (married 24 May 1827 in Toronto, Canada)
During his childhood and youth, the family lived in Norway village, East York. They operated a store and pub on Kingston Road called the Norway House Hotel. James was also the road "toll keeper". (Toronto's Lost Villages, Ron Brown: p.99) After 1872 the family moved to Barrie where their last two children were born. In 1879, they moved to Emerson, Manitoba where James brother, Richard, operated a hotel. James and Ellen managed the Manchester House in Emerson during 1887-88-89 before taking the farm at Ridgeville.Spouse: Ellen Loane, b. 14 June 1840 at Limerick, Ireland, d. 7 May 1924
Father: William Loane, b. 1806 at Cork, County Cork, Ireland
Mother: Sarah Winnett, b. at Killaloe, Ireland
Buried: Smith plot, lot 33, block 34
Ellen's obituary says she died at age 92 but this does not agree with her gravestone. There is also confusion over her birth date. Graveyard info, from Judy Smith, suggests she and James had same birthday, but Carolyn Pelletier history suggests the one given here.
Married:16 October 1862 at Trinity Anglican, East Toronto.
