James Warner was the son of William Warner<\/a> and Sarah Leitch<\/a>. He was born in Montreal on March 14, probably in 1837.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He married Margaret Ann Quinn<\/a> in Toronto on March 26, 1856. They were both 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They would have ten children, although there is some doubt about whether the first, Martha<\/a>, was actually theirs. Assuming she was, though, James and Margaret’s children were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Martha Warner<\/a><\/li>
  2. William James Warner<\/a><\/li>
  3. Robert John Warner<\/a><\/li>
  4. Hannah Maria Warner<\/a><\/li>
  5. Thomas Benson “Tom” Warner<\/a><\/li>
  6. Elizabeth “Daisy” Warner<\/a><\/li>
  7. Sarah “Sadie” Warner<\/a><\/li>
  8. Edward Warner<\/a><\/li>
  9. Ella Warner<\/a><\/li>
  10. Harold Rix “Harry” Warner<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    He died in Toronto on January 29, 1909, at the age of 71, and was buried in Toronto Necropolis Cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can visit his grave (virtually) here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sometime about 1840, James moved with his mother and father from Montreal to Yorkville, Ontario. Yorkville is now almost in the heart of downtown Toronto but was then a prosperous village a few miles north of Toronto’s city limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    James worked all his life in the printing business. For most of that time he was “compositor” (what we would call a typesetter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As far as I know, this is the only photo that exists of James Warner (left).\u00a0He is enjoying a picnic with his grandson, Harley<\/a> (peeking at the camera over James’s left hand), his two daughters (I’m fairly certain),\u00a0<\/em>Daisy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>Sadie<\/a>\u00a0(I don\u2019t know which is which), and two more grandchildren, \u00a0<\/em>Cecil<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/em>Ruby<\/a>. I don\u2019t who the baby is. The picture would have been taken about 1906 or 1907.<\/em>
