1911 Canadian census lookup

couchresearch — 29 Aug 2008 1:13:31 GMT

Am looking for help in searching for Reuben S. Tink and his new wife, Jennie (Couch) Tink as a married couple on the 1911 Canadian census and who both may have lived in the Huron County area after being married in Huron County, Ontario.

Head: Reuben S. Tink, b. 1861, Flamboro, Hamilton, Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada

Wife: Elizabeth (Eliza) Jane (Jennie) Couch, b. November 22, 1869, Exeter, Usborne Township, South Huron County, Ontario, Canada

Children: unknown

Marriage: February 16, 1904, Huron County, at Exeter, Reuben was widower 43 years of age and Jennie was widower 35 years of age at time of marriage

Jennie Couch appears on the 1901 Hibbert Township, Perth County, Ontario, Canadian census living with her parents Joseph & Hannah Couch; her first name Jennie is spelled incorrectly as Jimie (daughter). She then marries Reuben S. Tink in 1904 in Huron County; a neighboring community.

Jennie had a previous marriage January 26, 1887 to James Bell, b. 1845 who also had a previous marriage in November 18, 1864, Perth County Ontario to Margaret Hamilton, b. 1844

Reuben S. Tink (other possible spelling Tinck) had a previous marriage May 27, 1895 to Jessie McKenzie, in Essex County, but had also married the same Jessie McKenzie back in October 12, 1887 in Essex County and also had a previous marriage before that to Hannah Brown August 5, 1879 in Wentworth County. Reuben and Hannah (Brown) Tink had one known child together, Eliza Whilemena Tinck, b. October 3, 1879 Wentworth County

Reuben S. Tink is said to have worked on the railway in Wentworth County, for a railway company based out of Galveston, Indiana, USA.

JOHNSTON: SCOTLAND>Co. Tyrone, IRELAND>Prescott & Huron Cos. Ontario

drybones_1 — 10 Oct 2002 1:35:01 GMT

Seeking descendants of "Auld" Robert Johnston, b. 1767, possibly in Scotland. He went to Ireland and married an Irish born woman, perhaps several, one of which may have been Hannah Shields. His children included:

James, b. 1798
Margaret, b. ca. 1800
Alexander, b. 1804
John, b. ca. 1806
Robert "Red Robin", b. 1808
David, b. 1814
Archibald, b. ca. 1815-16

James is buried in Zion Cemetary, Ashfield Twp., Huron Co.. He was married to Martha McCoy in Ireland. They had 9 children, one of whom was Archibald, b. 1837, m. Hannah McKay.

"Auld" Robert is buried in Ebenezer Cemetary just outside of Brampton, Ontario. He died on December 1, 1849.

Robert "Red Robin" Johnston was my gggrandfather. He and his brother Archibald bought adjacent farms in 1845 in N. Plantagenet Twp., Prescott Co., Ontario.

If any of the above rings a bell, contact me, and we'll see if there's a connection. Or if you have any information on "Auld" Robert or any of his descendants, I will be glad to hear from you.

Who were the parents of Chancy Showers of Turnberyy Twp?

rmoore7099 — 11 Aug 2008 12:50:53 GMT

Chauncy Showers appears in the 1881 census of Turnberry Twp, Huron County age 60 with wife Mary (McKenzie) and some of his children . Chauncy married Mary Mckenzie in Zorra Twp Oxford County on 8 October 1849. He was still in Zorra for the 1851 census, age 28. .We are trying to ascertain the correct parents of Chauncy. At this time we believe he was the son of Micheal Showers born 1798 and who lived in Blenheim Twp Oxford County and Rosannah Thornton whom he married abt 1821.. Rosannah was the daughter of Abel Thornton and Rachel Burdick Lawrence of Oxford County In 1824.Michael married Sarah House who was born abt 1807. We are trying to confirm that Chauncy was indeed the son of Rosannah. Were there older children as well of Michael and Rosannah?

Cattles in Goderich, Huron County

SCattle — 2 Jul 2001 1:38:13 GMT

My great-great-grandfather was George Cattle, an English druggist in Goderich that married Frances (Fannie) Marlton c1854. George immigrated to Ontario from Yorkshire, England. He was born in 1829 and was raised by an aunt, his parents died when he was young. He had at least three sons and a daughter: William D, Dick (probably Richard), Alfred Theodore (my great-grandfather), and Eva. There may have been more children. His drug store was called Parker & Cattle, and there was also a "branch store between Toronto and Kingston."

Please let me know if you have any information on the Cattle and/or Marlton families. Thank you!

FORSYTH surname in Huron County

Louise — 20 Apr 2002 11:38:21 GMT

Hello:

I am interested in finding information on the family of Alexander FORSYTH who settled in Huron County in 1847. He is listed in the Huron County Historical Atlas as being born in Scotland and he was living in Huron County in 1879. There is also an Alexander FORSYTH listed in the Ontario index of the 1871 census who may well be the same person. He is 46 years old and living in Tuckersmith sub-district of Huron South. I would like to know the details of the rest of his family on the 1871 census (division 2, pag. 1, C-9929, RG31).

Any assistance most appreciated.

William BLAKE, Bridget ROLAND & Ship Question

Melissa — 29 Dec 2004 6:57:55 GMT

I am looking for William BLAKE b. abt 1831 and Bridget ROLAND b. 1849, m. abt 1870 in Kingsbridge, Huron Co. I was given a date through family oral history that Bridget's father arrived in Canada roughly 1844. Her father was Michael ROLAND and mother Ellen MCDONALD.
I have no idea when William BLAKE arrived in Canada, only that he was born in Ireland. He's the one that I'm really trying to track down.
Other question, which may sound kinda dumb: What was the most common way for immigrants from Ireland to end up in Ontario? Did a ship land in New Brunswick and then they got on another one to sail up the St. Lawrence?

Thank You -

Grand Bend - Fountain House & Beckenhauer / Quigley

garnetquigley — 29 May 2008 8:59:53 GMT

Have received a tif of the sketch of a hotel with the label "Fountain House, H Beckenhauer, propr, Grand Bend, Stephen Tp, Ontario". Someone later dated the sketch as from 1879. It is believed this refers to Henry Beckenhauer (also spelled Boeckenhauer or Bockenhauer). Although Grand Bend now appears to be part of Lambton County, I wanted to add this to the Huron board as well given their proximity.

The 1871 Census for Hay Twp, Huron County shows Henry's occupation as Hotelkeeper and I am hoping it related to the above hotel. The census (transcribed not unreasonably as Bockenhaua and Quicley) included his wife Margaret (abt 1844) and dgt Leonore (abt 1869). Margaret Quigley, dgt of my gr-gr-grandparents Bryan Quigley and Margaret Ryan, had married Henry in 1868. In 1876 the then widower Henry married Hannah Sweet and started a new family. The wedding took place in Middlesex although Hannah was born abt 1856 in Stephen, the dgt of William and Betsey Sweet.

Leonore never appeared in the later census records for Henry and Hannah. After the 1871 census both Margaret and Leonore disappeared from Henry's family history as well as from that of the Quigleys. No one knows where and when Margaret died, and nothing at all about even the existence of Leonore.

My "Fountain House" googling isn't helping this morning. Does anyone know anything about this hotel, or what it may have been named later? If the hotel lead checks out the Grand Bend cemetery/records might show Margaret and/or Leonore are buried there. Thank you for your input.

August Kruse died sometime after the 1881 Census was taken for Blyth, Morris Tp., Huron North & before May 3, 1881. His wife, Elizabeth (maiden name unknow) died in Blyth, Morris Tp., Huron North, on Sept. 13, 1879.

August Kruse Sr. is on the 1871 Census Index living in Morris Tp., Huron North, C9932, pg. 6

His son, August Kruse Jr., born 1837/1841, is shown on the 1871 Census Index living in Colborne, Huron North, C9930, pg. 54. He married Pauline Eggert in Hullet Tp., Huron Co., in 1865. August Jr. & Pauline died in Kittson County, Minnesota in 1920 & 1913, respectively. I show 3 children for them: John, Louisa, and Edward James. My husband descends from Edward James Kruse.

I have found two other children for August Sr. & Elizabeth, but there is a big gap between the birth of August Kruse Jr. in 1837/1841 and the next two, i.e. Mary Kruse b. 1855 in Berlin, Huron Co., Ontario, who married Martin Berg in 1876 and Levi Kruse b. 1856 in Zurich, Huron Co., Ontario, who married Sarah Gorman in 1878.

I did not find the Kruse family on the 1851 Census. But, it appears that at least two of the children were born in Huron Co. in 1855 & 1856. Were there others?

Can anyone tell me more about this family? August & Elizabeth Kruse were my husband's 2x gr-granparents.

Thanks,
Cheryl (Kemp) Taber

The Adam Baker I am looking for, who I think may be the son of this Adam Baker, was married to Catherine Getz in Seaforth in 1892 and I have the marriage record of that, but it lists Adam's parents as Adam Baker and Katharine Brogill, not Elizabeth.
I would really like to verify that the family at XXI 16 in Grey is my family I am looking for.
Adam Jr.'s son William was born in Belgrave in 1895, and another son Leo had his birth registered in Grey

Looking for more info on:
John Mitchell b.September 22, 1831, in Perthshire, Scotland. He emmigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1853. He and his family moved to Michigan in 1881 and later moved northwest to Saskatchewan in 1888 to farm. He died August 26, 1917, in Glen Ewen, Saskatchewan. Ontario Census records state that he was a Miller. They were Presbyterian, I have no record of their church in Ontario, but they helped to set up and attended the Hope Methodist/Presbyterian Church south of Glen Ewen, SK.
He married Catherine McEwen (b.July 14, 1840, Scotland). She too emmigrated to Canada to Ontario where they met and married in 1860 in Wingham, Ontario. She died April 09, 1919, in Glen Ewen, Saskatchewan.
They had 11 children:
Janet, William, David, Andrew, James, John Jr., Thomas, Alexander, Peter, Agnes, Catherine. All the children were born in Wingham, Huron County, Ontario except for Catherine and Agnes, they were born in Michigan.
I have alot of information about their children and decendants. But I am at a standstill at John and Catherine. Anyone having any info about these lines at all, please drop me a line or two. Thank you.

Gower Familly

Gillan53 — 4 Jan 2008 4:19:54 GMT

To Whom it may Concern,
I believe we possibly could be researching similar familly lines.My mother was I believe the grandaughter of William John Gower born 1863, his wife I believe was Margaret Ann Adare born 1860. William's father was also named William, I thought he was born in 1840-41?, his wife was Mary Ann Beasley. I believe they are buried in Crediton,Ont.My mother and her brother and sister were born in London,Ont.But spent time at their grandparents farm in Shipka Ont., not far from Grandbend,Ont.This is where other Gower and Adare famillies seem to have lived also. My mother did not grow up knowing her father, neither did her sister or brother,I believe their father,my grandfather might have been named Robert, possibly born around 1892?He married my grandmother who was a young WW1 widow from England. She would have married this Gower in 1920-1923, under her maiden name of Gunner,or possibly her widowed surname which we believe was Collier.You may also view my familly tree on the ancestry website,under the Gower-Gillan tree.As I research more I'm sure it will have some revisals.

Thos. H. Brophey, Goderich Photographer

foggieloan1 — 6 Jan 2008 4:54:10 GMT

I have an old photograph taken by the Thos. H. Brophey photo studio in Goderich. Can anyone tell me when this business existed? The photo could be circa early 1900's.

I have been trying for years to find information on this couple who are my husbands great grandparents. Their son is Joseph William Baker, married to Ida Zita Dean. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Joseph and Ida were both born and died in the Goderich area (Huron Township), Ontario, Canada.

Hello;

I'm wondering if anyone can provide the name of the parents/relatives of John M(a)cGregor of Rosshire Scotland. Here is what I know:

John McGregor, born 1794 in Rosshire, Scotland, died 26 Sept 1878 in Tuckersmith Co, Huron, Ontario, Canada. He married Isablla Bain b 1800 from Cromarty, Scotland (d. 1 Apr 1882 in Tuckersmith) 26 Sept 1821 in Scotland. Known children include:

Ann, Ellen and Archibald. I know some information about all these decendants. I am wondering if anyone knows the names of the parents of these people or how to obtain them. If anyone knows any more children from this union let me know. Thanks;

Bruce

Curvin

I did ask about this family quite some time ago, but with no results, so thought I'd try again.
Does anyone have any info on the Curvin family of the Bayfield area? They are buried in the cemetery at Bayfield. There is Edward and his wife Mary Jones and daughters Ann and Ellen. There is also a daughter, Fanny, wife of Charles Reman.

Ernest Breckenridge (1906 - 1991) of Goderich, Huron, Ontario

Roger Carroll Breckenridge — 4 Jul 2004 6:39:21 GMT

I would like to learn a bit more about Ernest Breckenridge. Can anyone tell me if he was a World War II Vet and can anyone tell me in which branch of the armed service he served and where he was stationed? I would also love to have a copy of his obituary, if possible. My belief is that Ernest Breckenridge was the son of Daniel C. Breckenridge and Minnie Bittorf and that Ernest had or has a brother, Roy, who probably still lives at Goderich.
