Marriage certificate of Mary and Alexander lists their parents.

Source: 1901 Canadian Census of Ontario, District 131, York West shows Alex Mark and Mary Morgan living in Ontario and does not list year of emigration. However, the 1911 census shows us their son Arthur and says emigration was in 1885 making last son William born, in Canada and family stories true that he was the only child born in Canada of this couple.
