I am also interested in the family of Thomas Pelkey. His wife was Emmaline. Thomas and Emmaline were born in the province of Ontario, Canada. In the 1871 census, he is a carriage maker in Plympton Township, Lambton Co., Ont. He immigrated to Bloomfield Twp., Huron Co., Mich. about 1879 and is enumerated there through 1910. In 1880 he gives his occupation as carriage maker; he later became a farmer. His son Frank took over the farm and can be found in the 1920 & 1930 censuses after his father's death. Emmaline was still living in 1930. Thomas & Emmaline had 9 children: Ellen (Nellie), Jennie, Mary A., William, Edith, Francis (Frank), Thomas, Margaret& Fred. Frank and Fred apparently never married and remained on the farm where William, a widower, joined them by 1930. In 1944 William is listed as living in Port Huron, Mich. Daughters Ellen, Jennie and Edith returned to Lambton Co., Ont, probably when they married. Ellen m. (1) Wesley? Clark (2) Robert Carroll, lived in Sarnia & Corunna; Jennie m. George Morris, lived in Petrolia; Edith m. Thomas Gammon, lived in Sarnia. Jennie and George are buried in Hillsdale Cemetery, Petrolia. Ellen is probably buried with her first husband also in Hillsdale; she d. 1944 in Sarnia. At the time of her death her surviving siblings were William, Edith and Jennie. There is an Edith Gammon Karr buried in Beechwood Cemetery, Forest, Ont. I would be very happy to correspond on this family.
