Gregory Barrett, leading barrister of Carbery MB, b. Nov 23, 1867 at Hamilton, ON, son of Edward Barrett. Educated at Windwor ON. M. 1892 to Margaret Bloomfield. She died 1900 leaving 2 children: Francis Gregory and Dorothy Isabel. Let me know if you want more. Bette

Maxime Rocan Maxine Rocan, the pioneer butcher of Winnipeg, is a native of St. Vincent de Paul, Province of Quebec, near Montreal, born on August 14, 1841. He is a son of Agapit and Aurile (Bell) Rocan, both natives of Quebec and representatives of old French families, their ancestors settling there about 1790. the father followed farming as his life's occupation, and the subject of this sketch was raised on the home farm until the age of thirteen, deriving his education from the common schools of the district. He left school at the age of thirteen, and for the next three years was engage din farming in his native place, but in 1854 went to Montreal, where he was apprenticed to the butcher's trade. The first wages that Mr. Rocan received were one dollar per month, and the second year this sum was raised to two dollars per month. In 18565 he engaged in business for himself at Montreal, continuing there up to 1872, at which time he came to Manitoba and located in Winnipeg, starting the first butcher shop at what was then known as Fort Garry, now Winnipeg. The shop was located on Main street, where the Bank of Ottawa now stands, and with several changes in location Mr. Rocan has continued in the business up to the present time. In 1873 Mr. Rocan married Miss Mary Camiran, a daughter of Raphal Camiran, who was of Scotch descent, his parents coming to Quebec in 1775 during the war of the revolution. Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Rocan, as follows: Ellie, a son by his first marriage, parish priest at St. Elizabeth, Manitoba; Joseph, a physician practicing at Somerset, Manitoba; Maxime, Jr., now manager of Rocan & company; Yvonne, wife of A. McMillan; and Gustave, who is studying law in Winnipeg. A History of Manitoba: Its Resources and People by Prof. George Bryce, Published by The Canada History Company, Toronto:Montreal, 1906. pp. 500-501. there's also a photo if you want. And yes, it does say "Scotch" instead of "Scots". Even though it's not the Rocan you asked about, I figure there can't be all that many of them in Winnipeg (maybe I'm wrong - gee can you imagine that!) : ) Enjoy, Bette -----Original Message----- From: WG Cannon <wcannon@tbaytel.net> To: CAN-MB-WINNIPEG-L@rootsweb.com <CAN-MB-WINNIPEG-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, March 03, 2000 9:21 AM Subject: Re: [MBWINNIPEG-L] Surnames (bios) from History of Manitoba > Hi Bette, > > Just let me say that you are doing a wonderful service for all of us. >Please take a bow!

He was born in Winnipeg 1880 move to Wood Bay (Near Pilot Mound) at four months of age and lived out the rest of his life on that farm. I see many other people that I know were they lived and Manitou Darlingford does not come into it. I know there was some dispute between the authers and or the publishers between the people paying to have there names in that book. I don't know exactly what it was but think it had something to do with them being recorded in the wrong district. I know Daddy had paid to have his name recorded in that book and he was very dissadisfied with what came out in it. So I think one should take the info there with a grain of salt and use it only as a guide. Well I've had my say. Hugh

While I can find who started the thread for lookup I would appreciate it if that very kind person would do a lookup for for the surname HARMER. I noticed that there was referenced a section on the Manitou/Darlingford area and would appreciate knowing more about that section as well. Stine wrote: > Yes. This ones for you! > STOREY: Charles J.

Family legend has it that my great grandfather's older brother, Reginald Lee, was a brew master who traveled from Hamilton, Ontario, to Winnipeg, in the ealy 1900s and started "Lee's Ginger Ale". The formula was sold to the makers of Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Does anyone know anything about Reginald Lee? or anything about his descendants? Thank you! Kevin M Lee Hamilton, Ontario

Sandy, Re: Ramsay and Simpson I hope you've checked out Neepawa under this page http://www.kenora.net/manitoba/ for Simpson. Check out the search at the bottom of the page. I may also have more info about Neepawa if you want it - and maybe even about Simpson (can't remember off hand)/ Also, I have a photo of Capt. Ramsay if you want it and if I can figure out how to work my scanner (new to this business). Hope that helps. Bette

John Simpson John Simpson, who is a pioneer in the furniture and undertaking business in Neepawa, was born June 16, 1856, near Milton, Trafalgar township, county of Halton, Ontario, and is a son of Robert and Anne (Hughes) Simpson, both of whom were natives of Ireland, and among the first settlers of Halton county, locating there early in the last century, the father coming to that locality with his parents. Here he followed farming as his life's occupation and died on April 23, 1865, at the age of sixty-five years, the mother still living with her son John, at the ripe old age of eighty-five years. Mr. Simpson of this review was educated in the public schools of Milton, Ontario, and was raised on the home farm. At the age of fourteen he left home, following farming as an occupation, and at the age of twenty-one came to Manitoba with his mother and two brothers, Joseph and James. For the next five years he was engaged in carpenter work, and then went into the furniture business with R.P. Campbell, of Portage la Prairie, with whom he continued until 1895, at which time he came to Neepawa and engaged in the furniture and undertaking business, being the pioneer of that line of industry in the district. In addition to his business interests he owns three of the business blocks of Mountain avenue, and also considerable other Neepawa real estate. In 1887 Mr. Simpson married Miss Jane Bailey, a daughter of Alfred Bailey, of Hyde Bluff, Manitoba, and one of the pioneers of that district. They are the parents of seven children: Stewart G, who is teller in the Merchants Bank, Neepawa, Ruby May, Maggie C., Roderick E, Jack, Vernie and Velma. Fraternally Mr. Simpson is affiliated with the Masonic order, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Ancient Order of United Workmen, the Watchmen of the World, the Independent Order of Foresters and the Loyal Orange Legion. Politically hs is not allied to either party, voting for those men and measures which, in his judgement, will be the most beneficial to the community.
