Known Facts:
- Located William and wife Mary (with William's brother and William's son from his first marriage) in the 1871 census (Fitzroy tp., Carleton co., Ontario, CAN).
- Have not located William in the 1881 census and after (wife Mary died in 1874 and son Thomas married in 1872).
- William was not found in the St. Mark's Anglican Cemetery (Pakenham tp., Lanark co., Ontario, CAN) transcription with his wives and son.
- No death registration has been found in the Ontario Death Registration indexes (searched through both the Archives of Ontario in Toronto and Ancestry.com's version)
- William's son Thomas was listed as the informant for Mary's death in 1874 (William's second wife).
Working Hypothesis: William Granger/Grainger died between 1871 and 1874 and is buried at St. Mark's Anglican Cemetery, Pakenham, with the rest of his family.
Identified Sources:
- Burial registers for Pakenham, held at Anglican Diocese of Ottawa Archives, available for 1841-1970.
Research Strategy:
- Write to Anglican Diocese of Ottawa Archives asking for a Pakenham burial between 1871 - 1874.

Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.
Thanks Michelle! :)
I really like your outline here. I'm totally going to steal it and use it for some of my more .. ahem ... stubborn ancestors. I think it will help me look at everything in perspective - have you tried Lineascope? Sort of the same premise, I suppose. Yours seems way simpler.
Feel free! I, um, "borrowed" it from someone else (and tweaked it a bit to suit me), so I can't claim credit.
I haven't tried Lineascope, but I just googled them. I'll have a look this evening (since I'm suppose to be getting ready for work right now!)
Jenn :)
