    1918.

    Although this registration names her father as John Moffat, I beleive this was actually her late husband. The informant was Annie Moffatt, and Catherine was to be buried at Harriston, Ontario. All these are consistent with other sources.

    Name: Catherine Moffatt
    Death Date: 22 Oct 1918
    Death County or District: York
    Age: 82
    Gender: Female
    Estimated Birth Year: abt 1836
    Birth Location: I of Arran, Scotland

  5. 5.0 5.1 Harriston Cemetery, in Ontario Cemetery Ancestor Search.

    All five Moffat names found relate to a single headstone reference so I assume they are all in one family. The names are consistent with other sources. Need to secure access to this transcription to determine if more details are available.

  6. John Moffat family gravemarker transcription, in Response to my Harriston Cemetery Rootsweb Query.

    Louise Edgar obtained the following gravemarker transcription from the Wellington County Museum and forwarded it to me

    Stone reads:

    JOHN MOFFAT Died June 19, 1906, Aged 73 yrs.

    ANNE died Dec. 9, 1935 In her 66 yr. MOFFAT

    (left side) CATHERINE BLUE Beloved wife of JOHN MOFFAT
    Entered into rest Oct. 22, 1918 Aged 82 yrs. 5 mos. A native of Isle

    (rear) WM. D. MOFFAT Died July 9, 1884 Aged 16 yrs. 10 mos.
    ROBT. O. MOFFAT Died Oct. 7, 1885 Aged 19 yrs. 7 mo.

    The Wellington County Museum really came through for me with this info.

    Harriston is in Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario Canada
