  • Name: Matilda Jane Hanselpacker
  • Birth: 3-OCT-1818 in: New Brunswick, Canada
  • Death: 12-OCT-1890 in: Queens County, New Brunswick, Canada
  • Father: John Hanselpacker
  • Mother: Julia Balmain

Notes: Matilda does not appear with the rest of the children, in the published births for the Anglican Church of Gagetown. Her birthdate IS last on the "list", which means the family COULD have changed location and/or churches before she was baptized . There is also that awkward possibility, that she MAY, and I emphasize MAY belong to another family. However, I've seen nothing that would so indicate. I've also seen an 8-Nov-1845 marriage date. This MIGHT have worked, if the October date wa s date of the "filing of intentions." However, based on Vital Statistics from NB Newspapers, the published wedding announcement appeared on 1-Nov-1845 in the paper, listing the date of marriage as the 20th of October ("ult."). Matilda and Willia m were married by Rev. Abraham Wood.
