Ernest Stevenson

charlottehollands — 6 Jul 2008 2:30:42 GMT

I am interested in finding some more information on this relative of mine.

ERNEST STEVENSON
Born: Sussex, England, abt. 1860s/1870s
Father: Herbert Stevenson (died before 1888)
Sister: Emily Louisa Stevenson (born Sussex, 1865)

I believe that he emigrated to Northern Canada.

I am also told that...

- He was involved with the Peguis Band - Clandeboye/Fisher River District.

- he was an "inspector of fisheries for Northern Canada"

- he lived in "a little outpost/village called 'le pas' on the banks of the Hudson Bay".

- I am led to believe that he also married a Peguis woman named Bertha.

This is all the information I have, so if anyone knows anything else, it would be much appreciated!

Thanks, Charlotte

Norwegian in Canada ca. 1925

jeget — 26 Nov 2006 6:06:53 GMT

I am looking for information for my cousin who lives in Norway...specifically about her father-in-law. His name was Einar Odd Mortensen (b. 27-12-1902 in Norway) and he travelled to Canada in November 1925. I found his immigration record and he entered Canada at Quebec on 11-13-1925. He wrote a manuscript about some of his experiences in Canada and the family is trying to find out more about this time in his life. He was a fur trader in northeast Canada from 1925-1928. He was in Manitoba and The Pas and traveled around Churchill River, Nelson River, Oxford Lake and York Factory on Hudson Bay. He traded with the Cree and had a business/station by a reservation north of The Pas. He went first to Winnipeg and then traveled to Norway House and finally to The Pas and used dogs and a sled to travel the rest of the way to his business/station. For some reason the family believes he lived with a Cree woman. They also said that he worked at the Winnipeg Post when he wasn't a fur trader. The family thought the Winnipeg Post was a newspaper but I am thinking it was a post where business was conducted.

I am not familiar with the resources available to find information about Einar Mortensen's life and business dealings in Canada. I would appreciate any suggestions and/or help anyone has to offer. I did find his immigration record as mentioned above but that has been all I have been able to find thus far. Someone told me about the Hudson Bay Company records and I checked their website. It appears one has to travel to Canada to access these records...is that correct??

Thanks in advance for any and all help and/or suggestions.

Oman(d), Mary d/o William Oman(d) of the Orkney Islands

Virginia_OmanFetterly — 10 Sep 2003 7:05:43 GMT

Mary Oman(d), and her brother William were born in Fort Churchill to a Hudson Bay Company employee, William Oman(d) of the Orkney's and a native woman. Mary was born in Fort Churchill but baptised as an adult on August 28, 1822 in York Factory, NWT (Manitoba) by Rev. John West. I was told, according to baptism entries by John West, that on that day, Mary was "baptised with Joseph, son of George Charles and a half-breed woman, and Jane, daughter of John Robertson, clerk, and a half-breed woman. Mary was probably a young woman by this time and possibly unmarried, although she might have been the mother of either Joseph Charles or Jane Robertson."
Does anyone know anything further to this?

mistie05 — 11 Nov 2006 3:12:56 GMT

I have just found out from my Dad in doing some family history that some of his mother`s Catherine Fitzpatrick went to Flin Flon and I know nothing of this family. Except for the fact that according to my father that his Uncle Jimmy farmed in Sask. and went to be with family in Flin Flon. I am very new at doing this and any help is wonderful. My father is the 13th child of the Thomas and Catherine [Fitzpatrick] McCann. My Grandparents farmed just N.E. of the village of Tonkin, Sask. Also according to my father Uncle Jimmy`s wife is buried on the land that he farmed. Dad will be 85 years young this year and except for failing eye sight is very well. He is so excited about finding relatives on his father`s side in the states.Still searching that family as well. It seems that the Fitzpatrick family also went from Ont to Minn. and then some of them came back to Canada to settle in the Yorkton area.
Thank you for any help with this search

William Harry Russell was a resident in Dallas Manitoba

Mary Perison — 20 Jul 2005 6:19:29 GMT

We just recently found out that our grandfather had been a resident of Dallas Manitoba, Noth of Teulon.(That's what it says on his death certificate)
We never met him as he left for personal reasons,before we were born and the family didn't talk about him.
His name was William Harry Russell, but he went by Harry Russell a lot.
According to some old letters we found he had been in Selkirk in the spring of 1950..then headed home to Dallas, but took ill on his way and died in the Hunter Hospital in Teulon Man. in March 1950. He's buried in the Windsor cemetary ,south of Teulon.
I'm wondering if anyone is still around that might have known him? The letter was from a young girl who thought of him as a nice grampa friend.She was from Leask Sask.
Are there any records in Dallas, or history books mentioning
him?
Any little bit of info would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Ford family from northern Newfoundland or Labrador

roy_kading — 6 Feb 2005 3:53:08 GMT

Parents of a girl born in 1932 died of tuberculosis and the girl was adopted by her mother’s sister and husbnd. Their name was Ford. They had one married daughter, who with her husband moved to mainland Canada in 1955. The elder Ford’s moved to Churchill MB in about 1935, and he worked for the Royal Canadian Engineers in Fort Churchill. Their adopted daughter used to visit grandparents in Turnpoint NWT when she was a child. In 1952 the adopted daughter had a son who was adopted by, I believe, the Moravian missionaries.

If anyone has any information on this family please contact me at rkading@shaw.ca

Hugh McDonald

Heather Mo — 20 Nov 2004 4:50:44 GMT

Hugh McDonald died at Norway House in 1925 at the age of 63 years. Hugh arrived at Norway House, Manitoba with a daughter, Kathleen. Hugh had a strong Scottish accent which led people to believe he was not born in Canada. As the story goes, they arrived from the Selkirk or Winnipeg region and why they came to Norway House is not known. Kathleen McDonald married James Robert Robertson and had 3 children, Ila, Harriet (Hattie) and Horace. Kathleen (Katie) left the family and returned to Selkirk or Winnipeg.

I am looking for any information regarding the Hugh McDonald family, specifically where they came from. I would also like to know the name of Kathleen McDonald Robertson's mother.

Please contact me if you have any information regarding this family.

Mary Oman(d) of Fort Churchill, NWT (Manitoba, Canada)

Virginia Oman-Fetterly — 29 May 2004 2:34:56 GMT

Mary Oman(d), and her brother William Oman(d) were born in Fort Churchill, NWT (what is now Churchill, Manitoba, Canada) to a Hudson Bay Company employee, William Omand of the Orkney's and a native woman. Mary was born in Fort Churchill but baptised as an adult on August 28, 1822 in York Factory, NWT (Manitoba) by Rev. John West. I was told, according to baptism entries by John West, that on that day, Mary was "baptised with Joseph, son of George Charles and a half-breed woman, and Jane, daughter of John Robertson, clerk, and a half-breed woman. Mary was probably a young woman by this time and possibly unmarried, although she might have been the mother of either Joseph Charles or Jane Robertson." If anyone recognized this Mary Oman(d) could you get in touch with me.

She had a daughter, who was born in the 1930's or 1940's, and a son.

WELL KNOWN PIONEER PASSES HERE

Mrs Margaret Halcrow, 90, dies after lengthy illness

On Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock one of our oldest and best-loved pioneers of the northland went to her well-earned rest when Mrs. Margaret Halcrow passed away at Ste. 21, Rupert House.

Mrs. Halcrow was 90 years old and had spent all her life in the north. Born at Stanley Sask., she came north to Grand Rapids where she was married. She pioneered the northland with her husband as far as Reindeer Lake, residing some time at Pelican Narrows and Cumberland, and settling at The Pas in 1895 where she has resided ever since and had drawn around her a host of friends who will feel her loss very deeply. She raised a family of eight boys and six girls, a devoted mother who always had the interest of her children at heart.

She was a grand old lady and will be sadly missed by her family and many old friends who have known her through the years.

She is survived by a daughter residing at Hollywood Calif., Horace, the oldest son, residing in The Pas, Mrs. Barker of Flin Flon, Gideon another son, in Winnipeg, Mrs. R. Hooker, another daughter in Winnipeg, Mrs. Jan of Cold Lake, Alex at Pikwitonei, and Mrs. W. Pilgrim of Syracruse, N.Y.

She lost three boys in World War 1 and she was also predeceased by her husband and two other boys and one daughter, Nellie.

She left 38 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

The body is resting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. McLeod, 260 Fourth St. The funeral will be held in Christ Church on Monday, commencing at 2 o'clock, with Rev. J.C. Bower conducting the service, and will proceed to the Big Eddy where she will be laid to rest.
