- It seems that most everyone of the older generation remembers hearingof Margaret Ford but no one can say just how we are related. John Enniscalled her Aunt Maggie but the relationship wasn't that close. Herparents were Robert Ennis and Eliza Strain so we are wondering if RobertStrain Ennis' mother could have been a sister to Margaret Ford's mother.Regardless of the relationship, the Ennis' and Fords were close andvisited back and forth often. The McFarlins visited at the John Ennis home too. Margaret Ford's sistermarred a McFarlin. The Jo Ennis family were familiar with Margaret'sbrother Robert and his family. William Ennis, another brother of theirs, lived across the road fromRobert Strain Ennis at Bracebridge and in an old letter to the McFarlinsreferred to Robert Strain Ennis as Uncle Bob. Another puzzle is: how are we related to the Wrights? John Ennis calledTom Wright his cousin. Tom's mother was Nancy Ennis but so far Nancy'sparentage has not been found. This account is found on pages 123 and 124 in the book, 'Ennis History',by Jean Agnes (Ferguson) Smith, privately published by Jean and printedand bound by, Frieson Printers, 5720 Macleod Trail South, Calgary,Alberta, T2H 0J6, Surrey, British Columbia 1979, with pictures on pages124, 125, and a picture of Maggie on page 125 is dated 1900.
