Hi list, I am looking for cemetery transcriptions or tombstone pictures (anything!) of my gr-gr-grandparents, who are buried in the Brampton Cemetery. They are: Thomas Gowland b. Oct. 23, 1845 d. June 6, 1923 and his wife, Sarah Ann Gowland (nee Short) b. Aug. 14, 1856 d. Dec.26, 1918 A look-up a while back showed there were GOWLANDs buried in the Brampton Cemetery, Lot 6, Blk A&C, Plan BR13, Conc IE, Chinguacousy Township. And I believe this may be Thomas and Sarah. I do have Thomas' obituary from the Brampton Conservator, but would like to find Sarah's as well. I appreciate the help anyone can provide. With thanks, Kim ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
Hi list, First of all, I would like to say how amazing I think this list is - it puts a smile on my face when a connection is made. I think it's great that so many people can help so many others. Through here in the mere couple of weeks it's existed, I have made some connections on my maternal side, now I'd like to see if anyone can help with the paternal side. I am looking for cemetery transcriptions or photographs (anything!) for my ggg, gg & gr-grandparents who I believe are all buried in the Markdale cemetery, Grey County, Artemesia Township, Reference BG (as per OFCA website). John ELLISON b. Sept. 1832 or 1833 in Dumfrieshire, Scotland. d. August 15, 1917. His wife, Mary McEACHERN b. 1833 or 1835 (conflict between two sources) in Scotland. d. August 27, 1908 Their son: John (Jack) ELLISON b. Dec. 28, 1870 d. late June/early July 1936. His wife, Annie McNALLY b. May 7, 1874 d. July 3 or 4, 1934. Annie's parents: Thomas McNALLY b. 1845 in Ireland d. ? His wife, Jane BLAIR b. either in March 1844 or 1847 in England. d. May 17, 1923 Jane's parents: Thomas BLAIR b. Feb. 14, 1811 in Durham, England d. Sept. 26, 1896 in Durham, ON. His wife, Anne KENDREW b. Dec. 7, 1807 in England d. Jan. 11, 1869 in Durham, ON Also, John Clark MacDONALD b. ? d. 1969 His wife, Elizabeth WYBEL (Wiebel/Wybil) b. ? d. 1934/5 (as a result of a car accident which also claimed her and John's son John "Sonny" at the age of 8). OFCA search results show one John ELLISON at the Markdale Cemetery, but I don't know if this is the one born in the early 1830s or his son born in 1870. Two Mary's and one Annie show in the search as well. A search of the same site doesn't return anything for Thomas and Jane McNALLY in Markdale. Sources swear that that's where they are buried, but it is possible they could be in the Durham Cemetery in the town of Durham. I cannot get any search results for this cemetery though. I have the same issue with Thomas and Anne BLAIR and John C. and Elizabeth MacDONALD. I know that the spelling of their last name switched back and forth between Mc and Mac, so it's possible it was spelled wrong. The Markdale cemetery does show a Elizabeth McDonald. The birth and death dates should be able to clear this up. I appreciate any information that can be provided and I thank those who can help in advance for your time and effort. Cheers, Kim Ellison Toronto, ON .... searching for the branches on which I am a twig. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
