Another question: Am I on the right mail list for Galetta? If so, is anyone aware of which cemeteries (Protestant) would have been in the area in 1900 to 1906 era? I am thinking that Elizabeth LEAKE might be buried in that area as the family was there around 1905. Does any one have listings for cemeteries in the area?

Thank you to all of you great people who replied with suggestions and information! All helpful to me here in BC. Molly

I'm not able to do the lookup for you at this time, but I might be able to assist in regard to the "home for the aged"... You mention that your grandfather was a Baptist (therefore a Protestant). In a book I recently acquired, "Ottawa: An Illustrated History" (John H. Taylor - ISBN 0-88862-981-8), there is some interesting information to be found about relief efforts for the aged and the poor. Ella Bronson was one of the leading figures in philanthropy in Ottawa's Protestant community. According to Taylor (pp. 92-94), charitable institutions were denominational. In 1846, the Catholic women organized the St. Elizabeth Society, the Protestant women organized the Bytown Benevolent Society and the Ladies' Benevolent Society. Protestant men were sent to Abbotsford House and the women to a section of the Protestant Orphans' Home.

I have received a Death Reg. for gt grandfather GEORGE LEAKE who died Jan 26, 1902, age 78, in Ottawa. In the OCFA listings there is a George Leake listed as buried in the Beechwood Ottawa cemetery (1901- 1930) with the reference OT 93-02. I am wondering if it is our George. I am sure I have the correct death Reg. after much searching, but he died separated from the rest of the family who by this time were living in Lanark Co. It is noted in the Reg, that he died in a "home for the aged" of acute diarrhoea. I am wondering if anyone might know what the name of such a home might be? there was no address given other than Ottawa. The family had little money so I am puzzled as to how they might pay for this, and what the circumstances of his placement were. He was a Baptist, so would not have been in a Catholic sponsored home. any information would be most appreciated.

Hello to everyone on the list, of which I am a new member. I am looking for any information I can find on my great great grand aunt, Marion Johanna (HAMILTON) BAKER, who moved to Canada in the 1850s with her parents, John Macaulay HAMILTON, M.D., and Marion Sibbald (RAE) HAMILTON, settling in Hamilton, ON. She was born in England in March, 1833, but raised in the Orkney Islands, where all of her siblings were born, as well as her parents. Marion married Godfrey Phipps BAKER on 30 May 1861, in Hamilton (listed in excerpt from Hamilton Evening Times). I am hoping to find information about this couple and their descendants. I have a fair amount already. G.P. Baker was postmaster in Ottawa for some years. I have listings for the 1871 and 1881 Census returns, with the following children listed: George William & Frederick C. (from previous marriage), Marion E., Godfrey P., Dorcas P., Hugh C., Massey W., John Macaulay Hamilton, Fanny M., and Sidney. Marion Johanna BAKER died 5 Mar 1903 and is buried at Beechwood Cemetery. G.P. Baker died 16 Mar 1882 and is also buried in Ottawa, at the Beechwood Cemetery. If anyone can shed any light on this family, I would appreciate it. Thank-you. Mark Huston ([email protected])

Greetings All. My apologies once again for the length of this posting. In the 12 years that I have been coming to Calgary to visit my son and his family, I have managed only once to be here when it did not snow, regardless of the time of year that I was visiting. This trip has not been an exception as on waking up this morning the ground was white. I have had a good reaction to my posting of 18 May 2002 that suggested everyone interested in regaining public access to Post 1901 Census records send Access to Information Requests to Statistics Canada and the National Archives seeking access to the 1906 Census of the Western Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba). All responses I have had to that posting have been positive. It appears, however, because of some questions asked that some clarification is needed. The reason for making these requests is that Justice Canada lawyers, in their cross-examination of plaintiffs in our Application for Judicial Review, have concentrated their questions on whether or not ATI Requests have been submitted to Statistics Canada and the National Archives for the 1906 Census, and if so, have complaints been submitted to the Information Commissioner when those requests were refused. The impression given by this is that anyone seeking information from these records should be doing so through Access to Information Requests. We wish to accomodate the Justice Canada lawyers by making the requests they seem to think we should be making. The legislation specifies that to be eligible to make a request under Access to Information you must be a resident of Canada. ATI requests may be directed to either Statistics Canada or the National Archives. Preferably both. Each department handles their own ATI requests. As such, each must receive an original request -- not a copy of one sent to the other department. They may, however, be worded similarly. Addresses to send them to are shown below. Each request must be accompanied by a check for $5.00 made out to 'The Receiver General of Canada'. Requests may be made simply by letter, or by using an Access to Information Request form downloadable from http://infosource.gc.ca/Info_4/atip/Request-Frms_e.html Your message need not be lengthy. Say something like the following: "As a family historian and genealogist I have a requirement to view and obtain information regarding my ancestors from Historic Census Records. The Privacy Act of Canada, and Regulations attached thereto, provide that information from Census may be made available to any person or body, for purposes of research, 92 years after collection. This message is to be considered my Request, under the Access to Information Act, for access to schedules of the 1906 Special Census of the Western Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba). Thank you." Adjust the wording to suit your personal circumstance, but be specific about needing to view the records for the 1906 Census. There is no requirement in the legislation to specify a reason for making an ATI request. At this time we are seeking general, not specific, access to the 1906 Census, so your request should not seek access to any specific individual or family. If you specify an individual name you are likely to be advised how to make a 'Census Pensions Search' at a cost of about $48.00. Because we are seeking general access to the records you need not actually have an individual or family from Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba to make this request. The legislation specifies that you are required by law to receive a response within thirty days of receipt for any ATI Request submitted. Some readers may be deterred by the requirement for submitting a $5.00 check with each request. We expect each and every request for access to the 1906 Census to be denied. My own experience with a denied request was that my check was returned with that denial. My expectation is that with the refusal of our requests, all checks will be returned. I cannot, however, guarantee that this will happen. On receiving a refusal of your request for access to the 1906 Census, a complaint regarding that refusal should be sent to the Information Commission (address below). That complaint should make reference to the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to Historical Census Records, and to a legal opinion of Ann Chaplin of Justice Canada in August 2000. I will post further information regarding this later. It is our hope that those seeking access to Historical Census records will flood Statistics Canada and the National Archives with ATI requests for the 1906 Census. The addresses to send these requests to are: Statistics Canada ATIP Co-ordinator, Pamela White R.H. Coats Building, 25th Floor Tunney's Pasture Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0T6 National Archives of Canada ATIP Co-ordinator, Bill Wood 395 Wellington Street, Room 349 Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N3 So that we might be able to have some idea of how many ATI requests are made for the 1906 records I ask that you send me a copy of your Request. These may be sent to me by attachment to an email, by fax at (604) 942-6843, or by snail mail to Gordon A. Watts 1455 Delia Drive Port Coquitlam, BC V3C 2V9 Thank you again for your continued support. Gordon A.

To all:- Every resident of Canada has not only a Member of Parliament, but an appointed Senator. Have a peek at the following, contact YOUR Senator with polite short requests for support re census release. Check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm An added incentive will be the knowledge the first recorded census in Nova Scotia was taken by the Acadian people in 1698, followed by various types, including victualling lists of 1751. [The area of these dates included the area now known as New Brunswick] When writing to YOUR Senator, try using MESSAGE RECEIPT and you will be surprised how many will answer. NO E-MAILS!!!!! Postage is FREE -- or send a FAX -- but contact YOUR Senator There are ONLY two provinces with NO Blue ???? - Manitoba and Nunavut! The May 7th posting does not show it, but Willie Adams of Nunavut replied to many - all letters the same -- he replied! Breakdown of the other provinces: British Columbia - 1; Alberta - 2; Saskatchewan - 3; Ontario - 9; Quebec - 17; New Brunswick - 2; Nova Scotia - 3; Prince Edward Island - 1 and Newfoundland - 5 A general reply one receives is "Your letter will be brought to the attention of the Minister/Senator" Should the elected or appointed person receive a Non-Committal bit of Green FENCE for the above reply?????

Greetings All. My apologies in advance for the length of this message. During our campaign to regain public access to Historic Census Records we have used a variety of methods to make our needs known. We have written to MPs and Senators, to the Expert Panel, and various Ministers. Our recent brief tactic of faxing polite requests to Industry Minister Allan Rock was, we believe, a successful effort. Arising out of our legal Application for a Judicial Review and my recent cross-examination by Justice Canada lawyers comes a suggestion for another step in our campaign. As indicated in my recent posting regarding my cross-examination, my impression was that the lawyers from Justice Canada felt that anyone wanting access to the 1906 Census records should be making Access to Information Requests to Statistics Canada and/or the National Archives, and when we are refused we should submit a complaint to the Information Commissioner. Our suggestion at this time is that we should accomodate these learned individuals. We should do so by having everyone interested in genealogical or historical research submit an Access to Information Request for the schedules of the 1906 Census of the Western Provinces to Statistics Canada and/or the National Archives of Canada. Having made this suggestion I must now advise that anyone submitting such a request is required by the ATI Act to submit with each request a check for five dollars (Cdn) made out to the "Receiver General of Canada". At the discretion of the department to which the Request is submitted this check may, or may not, be returned. The ability to submit an Access to Information Request is limited to permanent residents of Canada. Unfortunately this requirement eliminates the participation of our many supporters from outside of Canada. An Access to Information Request may be made simply by writing a letter, or by downloading forms (in Word, WordPerfect, or Adobe PDF formats) from a Government of Canada website at http://infosource.gc.ca/Info_4/atip/Request-Frms_e.html Your message need not be lengthy. Use your own words to say something like the following: "As a family historian and genealogist I have a requirement to view and obtain information regarding my ancestors from Historic Census Records. The Privacy Act of Canada, and Regulations attached thereto, provide that information from Census may be made available to any person or body, for purposes of research, 92 years after collection.

Address your requests to Statistics Canada ATIP Co-ordinator, Pamela White R.H. Coats Building, 25th Floor Tunney's Pasture Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0T6 National Archives of Canada ATIP Co-ordinator, Bill Wood 395 Wellington Street, Room 349 Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N3 Departments receiving ATI requests are required by law to respond within thirty days of receipt of your request. When you receive their official denial of your request, and we know that it will be denied, you are then entitled to complain about this denial to the Information Commissioner of Canada. It is important that in addition to making the ATI Request you follow through with a complaint when it is denied. There is no charge to make such a complaint. Address your complaint to: Mr. John Reid Information Commissioner of Canada Place de Ville, Tower B 112 Kent Street, 22nd Floor Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 1H3 So that we might be able to have some idea of how many ATI requests are made for the 1906 records I would ask that you send me a copy of your Request.

To all:- Apologies for posting a seemingly political message on the mail lists, but to continue with our family research after 1901 we need the 1911 Canadian census records released. Members of Parliament and Senators are in their home ridings at present and we also have six or seven newly-elected Members of Parliament. WHO will be the first one to send an answer from one of these???? [That would be interesting -- Gordon Watts has not updated the page yet!] Members of Parliament:- http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm We find totals as follows: FOR/POUR = 153; AGAINST/CONTRE = 6; Non-Committal/Indécis = 60 and No Response/Pas de Réponse = 75 The totals were given as of May 9th and do not add in the newly elected Members of Parliament. Senators:- http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm Totals: For = 33; Against = 3; Non-Committal = 18 and No Response = 43 In both House of Commons and Senate, I am afraid of the NO RESPONSE totals -- could we all work together and lessen these numbers, bringing more support in both Houses of Parliament? Reason:- WHEN (and I am thinking positively) Senator Lorna Milne's S-12 Bill is passed in the Senate, it goes to House of Commons. Let's not bother about any except the BLUE ???? -- go to above sites and check for YOUR MP or Senator -- if you have FAX facilities, use them!!!!! Please send a copy to me in WORD -- if proper subject line is used, I will accept attachments as I did for The Hon. Allan Rock. PLEASE forget about the 1881 Census for several days -- it will keep -- but if YOU do not help, you may never see the 1911 census! The following page is from the Cumberland County Society in Nova Scotia http://www.ccgs.ednet.ns.ca/post1901.htm I believe it is very suitable and appropriate for usage at this time! Above all, COPY any letters to me -- date, general parts of the letter -- until Gordon Watts arrives back home from Calgary I am filing these. Several have been received today -- one letter got rid of a Blue ???? LET'S GO GET BOTH MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND SENATORS! Muriel M.

Dave, Many thanks for all the info you took the time to type ~ I have the book The Story of Renfrew as well as the 1842 Census info, etc. What I would love to find out is who Antoine's parents were!! You mentioned being a BEAUCHAMP descendant ~ are you connected in any way that you know of? Supposedly Antoine / Antony was from Pontiac county .... I've no idea how to trace someone born in Quebec in 1790 :-( Regards, Dallas (another BEAUCHAMP descendant via Margaret McLaren BEAUCHAMP and David AIRTH)

Hi Dallas, Here is some info on Antoine (Antony) Beauchamp 1790-1850. He was one of the very first settlers in Renfrew with his property on the site that is now the town of Renfrew. He had come from Quebec to work with Joseph Brunette (this could have been his brother in law). I have no immediate info on Antoine's parents. Antoine eventually settled on lot 6 con 2, Horton. He married Margaret McLaren who was born June 19, 1903 at Lochernhead, Perthshire. She was the eldest daughter of Malcolm McLaren and Janet Fisher. She came to Canada in 1825 on the ship Niagara and settled in McNab Township. Margaret McLaren Beauchamp, daughter of Antoine and Margaret, married David Airth, son of Sgt. Henry Airth, on Jan 23, 1845 David and Margaret had four children. 1842 census for Horton shows Antoine owning 100 acres, with 20 acres improved. He owned nine head of cattle, one horse, nine sheep, three hogs. In the previous year he produced 300 bushels of potatoes, 120 lbs of maple sugar, 36 yards of flannel and 26 lbs of wool. 1851 census shows his widow as the farmer on lot 6, con 2. Antoine died Dec, 16, 1850, aged 60 years. His wife died Nov. 2, 1888, aged 85 years. They are buried in Martin cemetary, just east of Renfrew town limits.

Hello - I am hoping someone could do a Look-Up for me in Bytown (Ottawa) for a marriage that occured in 1826. Antoine BEAUCHAMP and Margaret McLAREN were from McNab Twp in Renfrew county but the only place at that time that they could get married was Bytown. Antoine would have been abt 36 yrs and Margaret 23 yrs at the time. Other than the exact date and location, I am really hoping that Antoine's father will be listed. It's possible that Antoine's surname could have been written down as BOSHAW as well since that mistake was made later with their daughter. Many thanks in advance! Dallas Manicom Nova Scotia

This is taken from the microfilm of the register of Notre Dame Ottawa: N.B. Bytown did not exist before 1826, and had no residing priest before May, 1827. Mr. Haran was the first residing priest. He left Bytown for unknown quarters in the spring of 1829, but of his two years residence here, he left no register.

Seeking information on Patrick Dolan and Isabella ???????? who were in Torbolton in the 1800's. Patrick owned land and farmed in this area.

To all:- The subject line sounds like boasting -- and I admit it is! Take a peek http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Score5.htm#NS All 11 Members of Parliament are 100% SUPPORTIVE of census release -- regardless of whether the Bill is House of Commons or Senate. I admit I have bugged all of them a bit - they all know my place of birth was Nova Scotia, until we moved to Ontario in 1953. However -- looking at the main scoreboard http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm one can see that Nova Scotia has 11 listed in the YES/GOLD column, but there are NO numbers in the other columns!! How about the Senators? http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm We are making progress -- but YOUR help is needed. Canada Post is making it easy for us as LETTERS are POSTAGE FREE and also preferred from constituents -- they are busy people. NEXT WEEK is a "week in the riding" -- all constituents will have an opportunity to visit his/her Member of Parliament or Senator. Please make the letters short, concise, polite -- we will leave all or any criticism until much later - and we are prepared to handle this. Any replies, with notes sent, must be copied to me for posting, please. Main columns to change: QUEBEC and ONTARIO. More numbers in the YES column would give us better opportunity for a vote on census release. Let's try to get rid of the BLUE (except in the sky!) Muriel M.
