I've got a marriage record for George's parents: Matthew's father was George (no mother given; Hannah's parents were George and Mary Hewitt.

The ontario birth and marriage records point to a couple of siblings for George Frederick, if I'm not mistaken.<br /><br />I could send you what I've found offline -- lunchbreak is over!Jim's Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03158792309730805894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-83885259756636419602011-08-04T09:53:24.891-07:002011-08-04T09:53:24.891-07:00Randy, I found an Ontario birth record for a Georg...Randy, I found an Ontario birth record for a George Samwell born 3 aug 1879 son of Matthew Samwell and Hannah Hewitt.
