Port Elgin is located along the shores of Lake Huron in Ontario. This is where Marshall, my second great - grandfather, was born to Mahlon Bodine and Roxanne Wade on July 9, 1847. He was the first boy and had 5 siblings. They included: Nancy Amanda (1840), Orpha Amelia (1844), William (1855), and Florence Mary 'May' (1861). According to the 1861 and 1871 Canadian census they were still residing in the same area. On May 1, 1872 he married Jane (Jennie) Taggert at Aylmer, Ontario and they went on to have 5 children. Mahlon Roy (1873) passed away as an infant, and was followed by Clara Bell (1875), Earl Roy (1880), Alma Mabel (1884) and Marshall Elmore Clarence (1886). According to the 1881 and 1891 Canadian census the family was living in Southwold, Ontario.
Somewhere between 1891 and 1894 Jane and Marshall seperated and he went on to marry Margaret Isabelle Faulds on October 24, 1894. They went on to have two children Mahlon Leonard Leslie (1895) and Lois Ethel (1897). According to the 1901 Canadian census they were living in London, Ontario along with Marshall's son Earl. They don't show up in another census until 1916 when they appear to be living at Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. He passed away June 23, 1930 in Aneroid, Saskatchewan.
