Although no death certificate for Ann Lancaster has yet been
found, her burial record at a local Catholic church gives her
name as Anna Hart, wife of Joseph Lancaster. Since O'Neil was
her prior married name, and reflected on her marriage
certificate, it is assumed that Hart is her maiden name. More
research is needed.

Ann O'Neil age 27, married Joseph Lancaster, age 28, on April
6, 1862 in Sanilac County. This corresponds with Thomas
O'Neil's obituary, where he lists a half brother in Sanilac
named James, this being James Lancaster, son of Ann and Joseph.
However this strong reference to Ann being Thomas (and his
brother James mother) has many other events that make this
conclusion questionable. For one, why are the brothers living
in different homes in 1870?
Why is Thomas referred to as an orphan later in life if he was
living with his mother during this time, and she continued to
live only a county away? Why was Thomas's father's name
recorded on his death certificate with no entry for his mother?
All this points to the belief that Thomas and James parents
were Patrick and Bridgett (Hart) O'Neil who died in Lanark
County, Ontario.
Why did Anna say she was O'Neil for this marriage record rather
than Hart? We can only wonder if it had something to do with
bringing orphans into the US, she may have had to pose as their
mother. We know that Ann is a Hart, as her death record
declares such. What we have here, at least per this author's
view, is a loving maternal family taking care of Bridgett
Hart's two son's, possibly fulfilling a death bed promise to
bring them to the US. Obviously, more research is needed.

Ann is Thomas & James mother, Joseph Lancaster being their step
father. Thomas is listed in the 1870 census, James is listed
in 1880. Thomas's obituary afirms they are brothers and that
they have a step-brother Joseph Lancaster Jr.
