    Photo Post #8 | Allan and Ella (Young) Vansickle

    Here is a photograph of my great grandparents Allan and Ella May (Young) Vansickle. Allan Vansickle was born on December 28th 1885 in Norfolk County, Ontario. He was the son of Edwin Vansickle and Elizabeth Herriman.

    Ella May Young was born on March 24th 1893 in London, Ontario. She was the daughter of George Henry Foster Young and Jane Mary Bell.

    They were married in 1913 in Jerseyville, Ancaster Township, Ontario and had four children: Hazel (my grandmother), Dorothy, George, and Jean.

    I never met either of them, unfortunately, as they both died before I was born. But, I’ve heard some good stories about them. My Dad and my aunts and uncles referred to them as “Pa Sickle” and “Granny.” I can certainly see the resemblance between my grandma and her mother in this picture.

    This week’s photo is a picture that was is in an album given to my Dad by my Grandma Hazel (Vansickle) Finch. In what seems to be a rarity when it comes to old family photos, my Grandma nicely wrote the names of these folks on the back of the photograph. Yay!

    Here are George Henry Foster Young and his second wife Jane Bell with two of their children, Bruce (on the left) and Francis (on the right).

    George H.F. Young is my second great grandfather. He was born in 1864 in Brant County, Canada West (today known as the Province of Ontario). He was an iron moulder and a farmer. Jane Mary Bell was born in Clogher, Ireland, a small village in County Tyrone (which is actually now in Northern Ireland).

    They were married in London, Ontario in 1892, where they resided until moving to Ancaster Township in Wentworth County. They had two other children: Ella (my great grandmother) and Charles.
