To all - whether students, church members, genealogy and hiostorical groups, or just interested researchers:- THE BIG CENSUS PUSH is on and we hope all who wish the 1911 Canadian census released will assist -- your help is needed for petitions, letters to both Senators and Members of Parliament. Newspaper publicity is needed -- ask your hometown editor to post a column -- and my e-mail address may be given [email protected] Bill S-12 by Senator Lorna Milne is in third Reading stage, some debate and then hopefully a positive VOTE. Following Parliamentary procedure the Bill S-12 would then go to House of Commons for approval. At present, BOTH House of Commons and Senate petitions are needed. When the Bill passes in the Senate, very possibly we will only need House of Commons petitions after that -- I promise to let all know. To send letters, Gordon Watts has sample letters at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/ Click on HOMEPAGE Addresses and wording is there -- save to disk or Copy and Paste. Postage is FREE and many respond better to something in an envelope! Download census petitions -- a colourful sign is also there for your usage http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Petition.htm Adobe Acrobat is FREE -- acts as a reader -- must be downloaded. Petitions are in English and French Senate and House of Commons, plus English Non-Resident. Mail to either Gordon or myself -- we share petitions! If we all give this ONE HUGE PUSH before Easter, It will help -- there is a committee which ascertains the petitions in Ottawa -- approves them!! Students may use this as a different social science subject -- just add the name of the school so credit may be given. Let's SPRING INTO ACTION before Spring!!! Your help is Needed NOW!!! Muriel M.

"David Hazelton, the older of the two Nova Scotias believed to be brothers, was born about 1812 and was married probably in Ireland circa 1840, to Margaret Norris. They relocated about 1850 to Marshalltown, Digby Co. , in NS where they farmed the land. David died at the age of 43 on Aug. 6,1855 and was buried in the Trinity Anglican Cemetery in Digby. His widow, Margaret was not enumerated in the 1861 Census of Digby, Although her sister, Elizabeth was listed on 30 March 1861, as widowed and the head of her household which included at least two of Margaret's children."
