My father's brother Percy (John Percival Millard) was born in Nipissing, Ontario in 1908 but moved in 1921 and lived most of his life in Belleville, Ontario, dieing there in 1991.
Percy McGrath Millard was born in Dorset, England in 1848 and and lived for many years in Belleville, Ontario, dieing there in 1919. One of his daughters, Irene, was born in the area, likely in Belleville, and died in Nipissing, Ontario.
The two Millard families had members living in the Belleville area for many years at the same time, but never knew each other.
Genealogy research now shows that John Percival Millard was Percy McGrath Millard's fourth cousin twice removed and shared a common ancestor, Henry Millard, born in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire in 1661.
