WALTER - Walters - CANN in Manilla Cem.

LibbyCoonHenson — 21 Oct 2004 3:31:34 GMT

Hello Shirley :

Would very much appreciate having the transcription from the tombstones for Charles WALTER & Mary CANN from the Manilla Cem. After a visit to the Uxbridge-Scott Museum, recently, I had concluded that they belonged to my husband's Charles WALTER'S family tree & that Charles Jr. was a brother of my husband's g. grandfather, William WALTERS, who married Mary Almira HILBORN in 1869 in York Co. & later moved to Tay Twp., Simcoe Co.

Thank you for any info that will help us to identify or eliminate Charles, as a connection of ours.

Two of the latter took homesteads in Eastern Saskatchewan about 1898, but I cannot trace the others, nor do I know exactly where this couple were born, married, or died.

According to my great grandmother's death certificate,
her mother was Hulda Whiting who was born in Ontario,
Canada. My great grandmother was born in Jackson,
Michigan in 1840; that would make the birth of Hulda
around 1820 give or take a few years. If you have any
information on Hulda, please share it with me.

Eliza Runions born 1822

AlliesM — 10 Nov 2007 5:42:43 GMT

Have been unable to find any information on Eliza Runion, who, according to her death cert. of 1918 from British Columbia, was born 30 Dec 1822 in Ontario. I know she married William Marriott, (who died in 1874 in Lucan,Ont.) in about 1837, and have been told that took place in New York, but no one can come up with any documentation. Have searched all the records I could find (at the film library of LDS) for both her birth and marriage, but have found nothing. The records are very scimpy. They eventually moved to Stephen, Huron, Ontario, where my ggrandfather, David Marriot was born in 1859. Am also looking for any information as to when William (born 1804 in England) came to U.S. and where he came from in England. There were soooo many William Marriotts. Help would be appreciated.

I know he had brothers, one in particular was a John MacIsaac. I believe John went to prison for a bank robbery in 1964 in Hamilton. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Henry Robinson and Elizabeth Wilson

DForderer — 22 Oct 2007 5:18:59 GMT

I believe that Elizabeth is my great aunt.
They were married in Port Perry in 1909. The 1911 census shows a daughter Lavina b Oct '10, living in West Whitby township
The 1901 census shows Henry living with his parents, Luke Robinson and Lucinda, in west Whitby.
My ancestors were from Ashburn.
I would like more info about Henry and Elizabeth

Louis Purdy and Margaret Oliver

MWillette — 27 Sep 2007 2:09:23 GMT

Oh where, oh where can their marriage records be? They were married in 1872 - and I have searched everywhere for the record but cannot find it anywhere. Some kind folks have forwarded two Margaret Oliver marriage records to me, but one was 1873 and the other was much later. They are buried in Pinedale but the United Church tells me they have no records of Louis' and Margaret's union. Was there a fire, does anyone know, that would have destroyed the records around that time? I have been all through the tapes at the Archives, too.

If anyone can help I would be truly appreciative. By the way, I can do marriage lookups. I bought The Marriage Registers of Upper Canada/Canada Wes:
Home District 1835-1843
Home District 1808 - 1836
Home District 1848 - 1857
Newcastle District 1810 - 1848
Victoria District 1839 - 1858
Colborne District 1841 - 1857
Home District 1843 - 1849
Newcastle District 1848 - 1855
Prince Edward District 1833 0 1849

Let me know who you are looking for and I'll see if I have the record.

BettyMiles59 — 30 Aug 2007 1:55:43 GMT

Looking for birthplaces for Alexander Balmer (ca.1801-1862) and his wife Elizabeth Armstrong (ca.1799 -1857).They farmed in East Whitby Twp. Census records say they were born in Scotland, but I have been unable to pinpoint a location. Alexander was killed in a buggy accident and there apparently was an inquest. Would records still exist of this inquest?

Hele in Oshawa

Barbara — 13 Aug 2001 7:27:06 GMT

I am looking for information on Samuel Hele and his wife Sarah and their descendants. They were born in England and immigrated to Canada between 1866 and 1873. They had a least two children born to them at the time of their arrival. The children's names were Samuel Warwick Hele, born 1866 and Sarah Jane Hele born, 1859.
Sarah (also known as Jane or Jennie ) married James Gilbert Northey in 1879 and had nine children. They lived in the Oshawa, Ontario.
It is unknown to me who Samuel Warwick married. Although I believed he lived in the Peterbourgh area and did have a family.
I have some info on Sarah and James and their family, but nothing for Samuel Warwick, his parents or any of the Hele family's death dates. I hope someone can help.

I am curious to know what became of Eva Maude Ethel Francis, she was the daughter of George Francis of Cannington, Ontario County. He was a blacksmith.
I've come across an adoption paper at the Georgina Pioneer Village & Archives, dated 1884. Eva (as an infant) was adopted by Christopher Graham, Yeoman, of Brock Township.
I have no family connection, just curious. And also, maybe this may help someone researching that family...

My GG Grandfather was William Rowe (born 1836 in England) and his wife was Mary Elliott (also born 1836 in England. They emigrated to Canada from England in 1857. I am descended from his son Thomas Nathaniel Rowe born 1870 in Whitby Twp., Ontario County, Ontario. I only have personal knowledge of one of my G-Grandfathers brothers Alfred or Fred Rowe born 1869. I have only recently discovered that the family had been living in Pickering / Whitby area in the 1871 Census of Ontario County, Canada and as a result I have also discovered a number of siblings of my G-Grandfather Thomas Nathaniel Rowe. I am looking for the decendents of Sarah E. Rowe born @ 1857, Ema Jane Rowe born @ 1861, John H. Rowe born @ 1865, Charles Rowe born @ 1867 and Alfred or Fred Rowe born @ 1869. The older generation William Rowe and Mary Elliott were living with Fred and Thomas in Sprucedale, McMurrich Twp., Parry Sound District by 1901 however I don't know what happened to the others if they went north or stayed in Ontario County.

Todd and/or Roome

Sharon Dow — 20 Oct 2001 6:49:06 GMT

I am searching for information on John Todd and his wife Hannah (nee Roome). They were in Uxbridge in the 1871 census (as a married couple with a couple of kids). Hannah was living at home (single) in Pickering in the 1861 census. I believe that John Todd arrived in Canada approx. 1865. I have been unable to find a record of their marriage, although Hannah's sister was married in 1861 in Claremont. I have other records showing that John and Hannah had dealings in Claremont (e.g. getting a loan to buy property), so I suspect that they got married in the area too, but all searches so far have turned up nothing. In 1881 they had moved on to Grey county and that is where they remained. I know that John Todd was born in Ireland (approx. 1839) but I don't know where and I'm not sure what route he took when coming to Canada. Any information anyone has on this family would be appreciated. thanks.

Malyons - Butsons in East Whitby Township

wwjohnston — 21 Feb 2007 3:16:44 GMT

Page 97 of the 1851 Canadian census of the east half of Whitby Township (Ontario County, Ontario) exclusive of the town of Whitby lists (lines 19-24) the following MALYON family (farming Conc IX Lot 8, per Ag census):

James (age 45, born England)
Hannah (age 40, born England)
James (age 22, born England)
Sarah (age 20, born Upper Canada)
Mary (age 14, born Upper Canada)
John (age 9, born Upper Canada)

I know that Mary became the second wife of Nicholas BUTSON about 1860.

Did her sister Sarah marry Nicholas' brother Henry BUTSON in the early 1850's? I know that Henry's wife was named Sarah, but I have not found her maiden name, and this is the only Sarah in the 1851 census of about Henry's age (30) living near Henry and Nicholas and their extended family.

Concession IX Lot 8 also was being farmed by Nicholas and Henry's brother William BUTSON as well as Richard COMB and Stephen LAMPKIN (LAMPKIN's wife was related, via a HARPER marriage, to yet another BUTSON brother John's wife, then living in Pickering Twp).

What happened to James Gibson (b c 1840 Ireland)?

wwjohnston — 9 Feb 2007 6:59:34 GMT

When they came to Canada from Ireland, Christopher GIBSON and his wife Elizabeth brought their three children: Ellen (born c 1835), Thomas (c 1838) and James (c 1840). James appears with the family in the 1851 and 1861 censuses of Pickering Township, but after that I lose him.

There is a possible match of a James in Reach Township in 1871, but he shows as being born in Ontario and not in Ireland:

[from http://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi/7eh/c7gib001.htm#gibson]
GIBSON 1871 census @ca.on.049b3 family 334
@ca.on.ontario_county.reach_township division 3 page 95 film C9975 lds0349175
electoral district of Ontario County North
14 GIBSON James m 27 Ont CofE Irish labourer married
15 GIBSON {?} Isabella f 28 Ire CofE Irish married
16 GIBSON Wesley Johnston m 3 Ont CofE Irish
17 GIBSON William Joseph m 1 Ont CofE Irish
18 ENGLISH Rebecca f 11 Ont CofE Irish

The fact that his first son was given the middle name Johnston makes me especially curious about this family, since James' father Christopher died and his mother Elizabeth remarried to Thomas JOHNSTON, so that James' half-brother John JOHNSTON may have been a sponsor for the child at baptism and the source of the middle name. But this speculation is, of course, offset by the 1871 James being shown as born in Ontario. So I don't know if this is the missing James GIBSON or not.

Wagner, Reinhardt & Elisabeth Metz Wagner

TEOBUCK — 9 Feb 2007 4:20:09 GMT

Reinhardt (Heinrich) Wagner, b. 24 Dec 1825, Niederofleiden, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, came to New York in 1852 with Elisabeth (Elizabetha) Elisabetha Metz, b. 12 Sep 1824, Gontershausen, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany. They were not married in Germany They lived in Canada for a short period of time and then moved from Canada to Michigan before 1867. They had two bastard children in Germany, Clara, b. May 1849,died May 1850 in Germany, and Heinrich (Henry) Reinhart, b. Nov 1851. In Canada they had Katherine (Kate) Catharine, b. Abt 1857, Elizabeth, b. May 1858, Mary (Maria) L. (I.), b. 1862, & Johann (John) Philip, b. Sep 1864. Johann was born in Hamilton Ontario, the other children born in Canada were born in " Upper Canada" Ontario. They also had a Son Wilhelm (William), b. Feb 1867, Northfield Twp, Washtenaw County Michigan, which means they had to be out of Canada before Feb. 1867.
I do not know if they ever got married, possibly in Canada, but the ship records show them with different surnames and their second child Heinrich. From the best I can tell, all of the children came to the United States ( Michigan )

Lookup request: Deaths 1876-1881

JenniferLast — 16 Nov 2006 5:47:45 GMT

Walter Herbert Baird was born to Samuel and Amanda Burnham 10 Mar 1976 Cannington. He is not listed with his family in the 1881 census. I assume he died as a child.

Also... Nora Mildred Baird was worn to Samuel and Amanda Burnham 16 Nov 1881 Cannington. She does not appear with the family on the 1901 census. It's possible she married, but I haven't found record of it and wondered if she died young as well.

John SHAW - Devonshire

zznoonehere1 — 24 Jan 2007 11:59:21 GMT

I am looking for my ancestor John Shaw. He was born in Devonshire c.1824-1831. I have him in Muskoka Parry Sound in 1872 married with family.

I think I found him in 1871 Census under 'heads and strays'. Can anyone tell me what that category means?Hopefully, he is unmarried and recently arrived in Canada?

Any tips on how I could try to look for him further back?

I have tried the Devonshire route but there are just too many parameters. I need to find him immigrating.

hope someone can send me some feed....

Locke family of Whitby Twp.

ali984tee — 20 Jan 2007 11:07:12 GMT

I'm searching for any information on the Locke family of Whitby Twp. Thomas Locke and Submit Starr were married sometime around 1820. I recently received information from their daughters prayer book and believe that her parents are Jacob Starr and Rebecca Douglas; married Oct 22nd 1732. Unfortunately the book only lists names and dates, no location or relationships. I did find Jacob Starr living in the household of Moses and Sarah Locke in the 1851 Census for Whitby Twp. Moses and Sarah are again found in the 1870 Census of Sanilac Co., the same place Thomas and Submit were living at that time.

Any information would be very helpful!
Thanks!

Vallaley / Blais Marriage

Janecanada66 — 22 Jan 2007 2:07:51 GMT

Catherine Vallaley from Ottawa Valley married Ferdinand BLAIS from Quebec. I've been able to trace their lives only through the census and birth records of their children as they lived in Renfrew, Ontario. I have found Catherine's parents but have hit a total brick wall on obtaining information for Ferdinand's parents. I'm hoping if they got married in the Ottawa Valley area there may be some kind of marriage record that states his parents name. He was born in 1829 and died in Renfrew, Ontario in 1890. His death information didn't list his parents - only his wife and children. If anyone can help - I would sincerely appreciate it.

Proctor Family of Pickering Township

dwp13 — 3 Jan 2007 12:51:35 GMT

I would love hear from my distant cousins to share family history. My great, great, great grandfather Jonas Proctor who possibly immigrated from England (Suffolk) around 1837:

PROCTOR, Jonas, Sr.

Born in England about 1799 (54 at 1851 census, 62 at 1861 census, 71 at 1871 census)

Emma is his wife - born in England about 1805 (Age 48 at 1851 census, 56 at 1861 census, 66 at 1871 census).

However, an Amy Proctor signed a deed as the wife of Jonas, Sr. in 1871 and Amy is listed as the mother in the English baptismal records for Marianne, Jonas and William.
They were possibly married on 12 Oct. 1824 at Carlton Colville, Suffolk, England. LDS film/fiche 0952981 – “Bishop’s transcripts 1685-1875 – Church of England – Archdeaconry of Suffolk” records this marriage between a Jonah Proctor and an Amey Horning. The recorder viewed a microfilm copy of this record (page 433) on 14 April 2005 and it reads as follows:
Jonah Proctor of this Parish, single man and Amey Horning of … [unreadable text in the margin]
Spinster were married in this church by Banns with the consent(?)
this twelfth day of October in the year on thousand eight …
and twenty four by me [couldn’t decipher text with name]
Jonah and Amey signed the registration by leaving their marks. The marriage was solemnized in the presence of Susan Eaves(?) and John Durrant.

1846 – Resided at Lot 11, Conc. 8 Pickering Township, [Old] Ontario County (originally part of York County), Canada West [8]

11 Oct. 1847 – Date of deed (registered 12 Oct. 1847) by which Jonas acquired the South ½ of the North ½ of Lot 11, Conc. 8 from Jno. S. Macaulay

1851 Census: Resided in Pickering Township, Ontario County, Canada West.
1861 Census: Resided in Pickering Township, Ontario County, Age 62, Farmer, Church of England
1868 Resided in the Township of Pickering, Ontario County, Ontario. [7]
1871 Census: Resided in Pickering Township, Ontario County, Ont., Age 71, Farmer, Church of England (Anglican)

4 Nov. 1872 – Jonas and his wife Emma sold their property to Charles Proctor for $3,100. The transaction included Charles giving Jonas a mortgage back in the amount of $2,544 with an interest rate of 6%. Charles also owned 75 acres next door in Lot 10, Conc. 8, which he acquired from Robert Agur, Sr. in 1854 [10]

Jonas’ 10 or 11 Children:
1. Marianne – baptized 1 Sept. 1827 at Carlton Colvile, Suffolk, England [LDS film 918510] Jonas’ occupation is recorded therein as being a labourer.

2. Charles
Born 1829 Suffolkshire, England (aged 30 in 1861 census, 39 in 1871, 40 [?] at 1881 census,

Married in 1861 to Annie Webb of Pickering, Canada West (b. about 1840 Somersetshire, England, d, 24 Nov. 1872 (or 1877?) in her 33rd year, a dau. of Thomas Webb, sister of Mary)

1861, 1881 census place Pickering Township
1891 Census: Pickering Township, Age 57, Widower, Farmer, Church of England

Died 30 Dec. 1901 [9] in his 73rd year [6]
Buried Bethel Cemetery, Pickering Township near Claremont Ont.
This tombstone has the following inscription:
“Friends in Jesus, why these tears
“O’re (sic) my dull and lifeless clay
“Could you see my present bliss
“Tears to joy would pass away” [6]

Charles’ will was dated 25 July 1898 and was probated on 11 Jan. 1902. His executors were Charles Proctor and William George Scott, both yeomen of the Township of Pickering. He bequeathed his property as follows:
-75 acres in Lot 10, Conc. 8, together with the farm stock and implements to his son Charles.
-“…Homestead farm, where I now reside…” 50 acres in Lot 11, Conc. 8, together with the household furnishings to his daughters Amanda, Annie, Susan and Ida.
-50 acres being the North part of Lot 11, Conc. 8, to his son Henry subject to him paying $1,000 in ten instalments payable to his sisters.
-The residue of Charles’ estate was granted to his son Charles.

The land registration search completed in Aug. 2006 failed to reveal any land transactions involving Henry Proctor.

In 1905 Charles spinster daughters Amanda, Annie, Ida and Susan sold the South ½ of the North ½ of Lot 11, Conc. 8 to a Henry Moore for the sum of $2,000. Charles Jr.’s property in Lot 10, Conc. 8 was sold in 1912. And so it seems ends the Proctor family’s farming history in Pickering Township.

1881 census: Age 11, Born Sept. 1870
1891 census – Age 20, Resided with father, Baptist, Farmer

3. Jonas Jr.
Born in England about 1831 (50 at 1881 census)

Land Petitions

martor_1 — 16 Sep 2006 1:51:00 GMT

JAMES McCALLUM is shown as owning 100 acres in North Gower, Carleton, Ont. in the 1871 Census Can anyone tell me how I might access this petition?

Also, ALPHEUS JONES filed Land Petitions in 1818, 1819 & 1820. This was shown under "Glenville". Does anyone have any information?

James McCallum (1816-1900) was born 'near Glassgow, Scot". according to his tombstone. He was married to PENELOPE JONES & one of their children was named ALPHEUS so I thought there might be a connection to the above Alpheus.

I have been unable to trace JAMES McCALLUM back to Scotland--do not know when he migrated & where he first landed, but his first-born child was ANNE in 1842 in Ont., Can.

Thank you,

Beverly Martorano
