John Chugg and Anna Ada Milks  Chugg Family Generation 2 Canada        Back

 

John Chugg aged 20 of Hull Township, Quebec is registered here as a farmer. His parents are listed as Philip Chugg and Cathrine Davis. Anna Ada Milks of Ottawa does not have her age listed. Her parents are listed as Charles Milks and Sarah Davis. John and Anna were cousins. They were married on January 13th 1886 in Ottawa, Canada and are listed as Methodists.

Anna Ada Chugg's death registry. She was 50 years old. Her parents were listed as Charles Milks and Sarah Davis. Dr Kay was the attending physician. Anna Ada's husband is listed as J. Chugg. Their residence was 111 Albert Street, Ottawa. Anna Ada died of septicemia on November 11th, 1918. She had septicemia for several weeks prior to her death. She died in St. Luke's hospital. The tragedy here is that documents on three sons' pages indicate that Anna Ada died without knowing that her three sons would return from World War I safely, one year later.

 

John Chugg is listed here as a carpenter. He is listed as head of the household at 504 Maria Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

On the right hand side of this picture John Chugg's addess is boxed in. He lived at 504 Maria Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Anna Ada Milk's father, Charles Milks is listed at 502 1/2 Maria Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. When asking the question, how could John marry his cousin, Anna Ada, it is important to note that the two were next door neighbors. I note that this is not an unusual situation as my ancestors on my mother's side lived just doors apart and married. In the next generation to follow this in Alberta, neighbors married. And in a succeeding generation a brother and sister of a Chugg family married  a brother and sister of another family. Further, John's two brothers, Charles and Ebenezer married the Thompson sisters. Often it seems that people married of whom they were acquainted, often neighbors or close members of a social network. This reflects a time when people did not travel far form home and married others from the same location.

 

Here John Chugg is listed at 504 Maria Street and his brother Elijah (Philip Elisha Chugg) is listed at 15 Christie Street  Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Philip was listed as a mill hand at the time and his brother was listed as a laborer.	Charles Robert Chugg and John Chugg are listed as head of hosueholds. Charles is a laborer and lives at 139 Norman Street  Ottawa, Ontario. John is listed as a trimmer for the O. E. Company and is located at 106 St. Patrick  Ottawa, Ontario Canada.

 

Cathrine Chugg is listed as the widow of Philip Chugg and living as head of the household at 135 Norman Street. John Chugg is listed as laborer and head of household at 504 Norman St.  Philip E Chugg (Philip Elisha Chugg) is listed as a laborer and head of household at n/a Pamilla and 1 West Preston.  Maps show Pamilla as just around the corner from Norman St. Maria is also in the area. This is the section that became Little Italy in Ottawa.

Interment records for two of John and Anna Ada Chugg's little boys, Charles Haythorne Chugg and Alex Philip Chugg in the Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. These two boys are not listed on the spreadsheet family tree and I still have this information to add. 504 1/2 Maria Street was Anna Ada Milks' father's home. The Chugg family lived next door.

 Slanted headstone with cross is that of Earl Minto (Peter) Chugg, son of John Chugg, grandson of Philip Chugg. He lived in Indianapolis and was married to Lydia Wagoner. She died twenty years later and is buried in Indianapolis.  Tall gravestone to the right of Earl Chugg is that of Ada Milks Chugg, wife of John Chugg and also of infant sons Alex Chugg and Haythorne Chugg. To the right and in the foreground of Ada Chugg's gravestone is the gravestone in the grass which is that of John Chugg, Ada Beatrice Chugg and Grace Louise Chugg Peake.

The writing on the stones face east. This is in section 39 of Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. This is lot 69 1/2 in section 39.   The maps below indicate the location section 39. Also, the graves of William Chugg and Isabella Chugg are located in plot 70, very close to John Chugg's graves and just to the south.
