A Surname Inquiry

Leith

I am looking for information on the family of James Henry Leith (b. 1863 in Sutton, Ontario) and Susan Ann Waller (b. Streetsville, Ontario) of Ashworth, Stisted Twp, Muskoka. In particular, I am looking for information on their daughter, Jean Bernice Leith b. 16 Apr 1902 and any of her descendants.

    Thank you, Diane. I had found that information, but I appreciate the help.
    Jean Leith is the person I was looking for. She had illegitimate twin daughters before her marriage and no children from her marriage. I was hoping to eventually find a descendant to confirm my connection through DNA, but it’s not going to happen. I have confirmed with other family matches that this is the person that I was looking for. :)
