Thomas & Elizabeth were second cousins (and spouses). They had 3 biological daughters and one adopted daughter, who was adopted some time between the 1891-1901 Censuses of Canada. She first appeared with them in 1901 as Mary B. Carter, 'Adopted Daugh [daughter]', age 17 (b. 1883 in Ontario), with 'origin' listed as French. This implies she wasn't adopted until at least age 7 (some time after 1891). She also didn't have a specific birthdate listed, just 1883, implying none of them knew it. Mary B. was gone from the household by the 1911 Census, and no further records have been found. Elizabeth's 1928 obituary stated she was survived by one daughter (Veronica); it's unclear if that meant Mary B. was also deceased by then.
