Edward Co., Ontario Author: dd_terry Date: 11 February 2003 Classification: Query Surnames: Terry - Walt - Weeks
While working on the Terry Tree, I have decided to seek information on the above. Burgess had a Veterinary Practice in Consecon certainly during the 1940's and at the time he would likely have been in his mid 50's. When he was working, he usually wore a shoulder brace - the corner of which could be seen under his sweater. He was divorced and we do not recall if he had children. I do recall that he spoke of a Pauline but do not know the official connection. As well, Burgess did appreciate a fine beverage! He was related to my Grandmother (presuming first cousin), Ida May Walt Terry 1877-1957, whose Mother was Margaret Elizabeth Weeks Walt. My Grandmother kept house for him for about 8-10 years and lived in Burgess' home with her husband Frank Terry (1871-1941) after they left their farm in Murray Township. I have found a Burgess Weeks in the 1901 Census in Athol and Hillier in Pr. Ed. Co. As well, one of the Weeks Family sites reports the name Burgess in several places - Is there a connection here? As well, I have read the Board messages from Feb. 2002 titled 'Kingston Ontario Canada Weeks.' Any help and direction for Burgess and Margaret Weeks Walt would be appreciated. Thanks, Dianne
