1921 Census

   One of the first oddities of the 1921 Census is the fact that there is not one "Cowey". All entries are "Cowie". Not sure why this happened.
     In Lakeport, Frank and Ruby Cowey are living with their son, John Nelson Cowey. Next door, we find John and Barbara Cowey. Their son, Archie, an invalid, age 27, is living with his parents along with their other children, Ellen, age 25, Nile, age 23, and Nile's wife, Doris, age 17. Also living with John and Barbara is a boarder named Albert Pymer, age 60, a stationary engineer.
     Down the road, we find Mary Jane Cowey sharing her home with her brothers, William, and Robert.
     In the village of Colborne, we find John "Jack" Cowey and his wife, Alice (nee Grice), living on Norton Street. Jack is a mechanic. They are living with their children Greta, age 5, May, age 4, and Cecil, age 1 and 9/12.
