[805] Yes, indeed, Oreta was 106 years old, at her passing. It's in the genes! Appears as Orilia in the 1901 Culloden Census, with father Edward and Mother Hattie, etc.

Possibly the son of John Stark and Janet MacIntyre (Jannet MacIntre)? or, the one listed as theirs, but equally possible to be Christopher's. IF so, one listed as christened in 1802, is said to have married Katherine, though no listing of marriage or children for the John Stark christened 26-Feb-1805. Could THIS be him?
Here is how I received the info on son, Lawrence, from Lorraine Thompson:
Vital Records for Ontario, Death Registrations, 1919, Malahide (township), Elgin
County. Registration # 011822, 1919
Lawrence Sturk,
male
Age: 86 years 10 mos
Date of Death: July 8th, 1919,
Place of Birth: Malahide Twp.
Place of Death: Malahide, Place of Burial: Luton (Luton is a small hamlet with a
cemetery in Malahide)
Occupation: Farmer
Single, Married or Widowed: Married
Name of Father: John Sturk
Name of Mother: Elizabeth Handspickles
Cause of Death: Old age
Name of Physician who attended Deceased: Dr McLay
Name of Informant: Geo. A. Allen
Address: Aylmer, Ont
Date of Return: July 8, 1919
I checked Luton Cemetery and found Lawrence 1832 -- 1919, Margaret Truman, his wife,
died Sept 30, 1923 in her 85th year.
John is listed in 1842 Census of Malahide Twp, Elgin County, Ontario, as John Sturk. Possibly changed the spelling from Stark upon moving from NS to ON. Also appearing just a few lines above him is a Michael Sturk. and some distance below, a George Sturck... brothers? elder sons? The other possibility, since this John STURK claimed German ancestry, vice Scottish, is that there were two, distinct families, at one time, in Digby County. The Stark family, of Scottish descent and the Sturk family of German descent. This would surely explain many of the incongruities found within these names in Nova Scotia. Thankfully, this particular Sturk family migrated to Ontario, so became less entangled in the Stark/Sturk mess of Digby County.
