    3. Hello all, I have two questions: 1) Is anyone researching Oliver Boggs, born @ 1811-1812 in Ireland and settling in Hamilton Township, Northumberland County, ON? His religion as of the 1871 census was church of England, Anglican. As of 1878 he was a farmer Concession A, 8 with Lot size 42. There are many Boggs in the Northumberland area. All are described as Irish, though 3 were born in Ontario.. The 1871 census includes: Name AGE Alexander Boggs 36 David Boggs 30 Edward Boggs 55 George Boggs 55 James Boggs 34 James Boggs 71 Laban Boggs 44 Margaret Boggs 54 Oliver J Boggs 32 Oliver Boggs 59 Robert Boggs 63 Thomas Boggs 42 William Boggs 27 I am trying to figure out if any of these are likely ancestors, and so far Oliver is my number one draft pick. 2) Still working on the mysterious 11 Boggs sisters. Gertrude and Fawn have been joined by Mary, whose married last name was Chase. Many thanks, Jennifer ** above information accessible from http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/5715/Northumberland/index.html by accessing 1871 Northumberland census. It includes information about occupation, religion, district, etc.
