Sarah Ann Carr, born 1850 in New Brunswick; Sarah's Parents: John born in Scotland;
Jane born in Ireland/Scotland;
Sarah ended up in Ontario and eventually moved to Michigan (about 1870). She married
Stephen O'Dell in 1872. They had a son (1873) and daughter (1874) born in Michigan
and then a son born in Windsor, Ontario (1878), that lived for 5 weeks and died in 1878.
They had three more children in Michigan after 1878 so she may have had family in Windsor
and went back and forth across the border--or maybe they lived there for a short time. I
know absolutely nothing about her parents and cannot find Sarah with any John or Jane Carr
in any Canadian or US census. She named her son Charles Courtenay O'Dell so maybe the
name Courtenay was her mother's maiden name.
If anyone has any information, that would be great!
Thank you!
