Her death certificate states her age as 80, but does not list a date of birth. Her marriage certificate lists her as 29 on her wedding day on April 10, 1890, meaning she was born between April 11, 1860 and April 10, 1861. A Margaret Merritt, born in Toronto, crossed the U.S. border in 1932 to visit her nephew Gregory, and listed a date of birth as May 3, 1860, so that may be the actual date, which fits with her marriage certificate and would mean she was 82 at the time of her death, but that may be circumstantial. Note: Haddon Villa was originally the home of her father, Robert Simpson, and was situated on the north side of Bloor Street East, at the head of Church Street; Church Street now continues across Bloor, through that property.
