Ann M. Robertson

NancyHipwell — 21 Aug 2008 1:19:54 GMT

Searching for death record/newspaper notice/burial place of my ggg grandmother Ann M. Robertson.

She was born in England c1805.

I have her in Etobicoke in the '51 census of Ontario.
I have her in Guelph in the '71 census of Ontario.
In '81 her husband Alexander is living with their daughter Ann and her husband John Jonson Swayze. As a result, I believe her death to be in Wellington Co. between 1871 and 1881.

She was Ann Maria Tombes at birth in England.

Robertson

NancyHipwell — 17 Aug 2008 1:18:27 GMT

Searching in vain for the burial place of my third great grandparents. Also looking for death record for ggg grandmother.

Ann Marie/Maria Robertson nee Tombes born in England about 1805. I don't have a death record for her. She likely died in Guelph. I don't know where she is buried.

Alexander Robertson born in Scotland about 1807. I believe I have the right death record. IF so, he died in Guelph Jan 13, 1890. Woodlawn Block F is not him.

They are on the 1851 Canada West census in Etobicoke with their children.
I have a hit on the 1871 Index in Guelph for him. c-9945 p.29 but I haven't gone to the reel yet to make sure it is him.

Any help would be so appreciated.

Malcolm and Mary were Scottish-born Presbyterians with children Christina, who married Edward Jones; Kate, who married Joseph McDonald; Charlotte; Charles, who married Kate Kehoe; Malcolm, who married Barbara Stockford; William, died unmarried; Peter; and another Christina. Malcolm the father was a carpenter, and apparently died in 1901. Does anybody know anything about these people or their descendants? Please contact me. George Sanborn [SeorasOg@eastlink.ca]

Laybourne families of Minto Twp. (circa 1850+)

Kim — 30 Mar 2006 11:33:11 GMT

I am looking to connect with folks descending from or researching the Laybourne families that resided in Palmerston/Minto Twp. from the mid-1850s to early 1900s.

John Laybourne (my ggg-grandfather) passed away in Minto Twp. in 1873. His brother Robert lived there as well until his death in 1920. Most of Robert's family also lived their entire lives in the Palmerston area. All are buried in Palmerston cemetery (except aforementioned John - I cannot figure out where he was buried).

John's son Henry (my gg-grandfather) lived in the area for awhile and had an implement business there. His oldest daughter was born in Minto with wife Isabella Appleby. Something happened with Isabella, as Henry then remarried Mary Aldrich, had 8 more children. They relocated to the Shelburne, ON area.

Henry Hughes Tavern Keeper

csj0767 — 23 Dec 2007 2:00:07 GMT

I am wondering if there is a way of getting a copy of the records for Henry Hughes. He was a Tavern Keeper in 1864 in Guelph. He apparently wasn't feeling well and got some medicine for Cholera. Shortly thereafter became in extreme pain. There was a trial to see if the Doctor had in some way kill him. I am wondering if this might have family members listed in this record of the trial. I found this information in the Annauls of Guelph Township on www.ourroots.ca. I would appreciate any help.

Puslinch Thomas and Mary Moran 1840's

familyhistory145 — 12 Dec 2007 9:16:42 GMT

I have been researching decendants of Thomas Moran and wife Mary Maher(Meahger) who immigrated about 1842 to Puslinch Twp from Co Carlow Ireland. My earliest record for the family is on marriage document of one of their children that states her birth in Puslinch at about 1844. From land records their son Patrick was farming in Puslinch by 1854, the year after the supposed death of Thomas in 1853. I have researched cemetery register of St. Joseph's and contacted Our Lady Immaculate Church as well as the Diocese of Hamilton for any record of death or burial for Thomas and Mary but with no luck. 1852 census for Puslinch does not show the family although I understand it is only a partial record. Should I be searching censuses in another Twp at the 1852 census time period? I have contacted the Wellington Museum months ago but have not had a reply. After a year of research I have become quite attached to my family history and would dearly like to know the death dates and places of rest of my great great grands. Any ideas?

Donald Cooper / Catherine Sutherland

I created a website for any wishing the info. I do not take credit for all of the research since many contributed to this project.

If info is incorrect, please let me know. If you wish to add info on your branch, let me know. Contact information is on the site.
I would love to hear from anyone who is connected in any way to this Land family.
My hobby became an obsession. I enjoyed every minute. I hope this helps some find answers they seek.

Belsyde Cemetery Lookup Please (Black)

David K Black — 1 Dec 2003 8:10:01 GMT

Hello list,

I am hoping some kind soul could help me with my search for the Black Family, buried at Belsyde cemetery Wellington Ontario. In particular I am searching for John Black and his wife Christian (Lamont) Black. They emigrated from Kilfinan parish in Scotland in 1842 and moved to the East Williams and Strathroy area of Ontario. I have never been able to find out where they were buried but had assumed it would be somewhere in the Strathroy area. I recently used the "Ontario Cemetery Finder Aid" and while I found many John Blacks in many cemeteries around Ontario, I could find only a single instance of a "Christian Black" and she was at the Belsyde cemetery.

BLACK Christian Belsyde, Old Section, Division A, Section 1 to 4 Wellington Nichol WW-4316

If this is the right Christian Black, (the only one listed in all of Ontario in the OCFA) there are also several John Blacks at the same cemetery, The first one being the most likely one.

BLACK John Belsyde, Old Section, Division A, Section 1 to 4 Wellington Nichol WW-4316
BLACK John Noble Belsyde, Old Section, Division A, Section 1 to 4 Wellington Nichol WW-4316
BLACK John Henderson Belsyde, Old Section, Division A, Section 5 to 9 Wellington Nichol WW-4316
BLACK John Wilson Belsyde, Old Section, Division A, Section 5 to 9 Wellington Nichol WW-4316
BLACK John Belsyde, Old Section, Division B, Section 4 to 9 Wellington Nichol WW-4316
BLACK John H. Belsyde, Old Section, Division B, Section 4 to 9 Wellington Nichol WW-4316
BLACK John Henderson Belsyde, Old Section, Division B, Section 4 to 9 Wellington Nichol WW-4316

I am seeking the Inscription information from the stone/monument for Christian Black to try and verify if this is my Gr Gr Gr Grandmother. Christian was born about 1790 in Kilfinan Scotland. She is listed on the 1851 census but the 1861 census has only her husband John so I assume she passed away between 1851 and 1861.
Can anyone help??

Burial Location for Jonathan Haslam and his wife Mary.

gshaslam — 30 Jul 2007 7:35:55 GMT

Seeking to learn where my great-great-grandfather, Jonathon Haslam, is buried (born Mountmellick, Queens County, now Laois County, Ireland approx. 1796). Jonathon came to Eramosa, Ontario through the Port of New York on January 26, 1849. According to the 1851 Census he was living in Eramosa working for the famous and wealthy Henry Strange family. The area would become known as Rockwood and was designed and created by Henry Strange. He carved up much of his own land to create the town. According to the 1861 Census, Jonathon was joined by his wife Mary. It is not known if any of their children came to Canada with Mary, or when they came, who they all are, or through which port any of them travelled. My great grandfather, Alfred Haslam, was here by 1863 as he married Jane Bell (daughter of William and Eliz. Bell) in Eramosa, Ontario, on April 22, 1863. Jonathon died in Rockwood, Eramosa, on April 01, 1874 (Ont. Death Reg.# 010467). His wife Mary (born Ireland approx. 1804) shortly after the death of Jonathan, moved to Bodmin, Huron County, Ontario to be with her son Alfred and his wife Jane, and family. Mary died in nearby Brussels, Ontario on December 15, 1877 (Ont. Death Reg.# 005184). Her burial location is also unknown, may have been Sunshine or Bethal Cemeteries near Bodmin, not nuch left of either cemetery today and no records survived to my knowledge. Bodmin is completely gone and is now a cow pasture.
I do not know if any archives exist for old newspapers where obits, death, birth, and marriage announcements could be found. I speculate that the cemetery in Rockwood where Jonathan was buried is also gone now. I would very much appreciate any information on the Haslam family that you can provide, especially the burial locations for both Jonathon and Mary.
Yours in search of the past, Gary Stuart Alfred Haslam, Surrey, BC, Canada, gshaslam@telus.net
