I need help with the Ontario Archives Land Record Index. Under the Archival Reference column is listed: RG Series: 08 13840. I copied at least fifteen pages and this name is the only one with that notation. I copied "How to use the Ontario Land Records Index ca, 1780.1920" from the Archives of Ontario site but it does not explain this code. Can anyone help? Thank you. Rita

Hi, Eileen: Thank you sooo very much for these!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to send them. Just for clarification, James Walker Lunan's wife was Francis Hollingshead, not Francis Holmstead - likely hard to read on the original doc. They were my gggrandparents. Thank you again, Eileen!!

Hi I am seeking the family and descendants of Moses KING who migrated to Canada about 1830 where it is believed he married Matilda ASHTON. Both are recorded as having been born in Ireland (on son's census record US1880), so may have married before migrating. Moses was born in Killyman Parish, County Tyrone/Armagh and is believed to have died about 1872 Saginaw, Michigan, but does not appear on the 1870 census of Michigan. Matilda is recorded as dying about 1884 Children: Joshua Edward KING - born about 1831 Canada; died about 1895 ? married Louisa P (maiden name unknown). They appeared with their children on US 1880 census in Taymouth, Saginaw, Michigan, but their first child Gustavus Adolphus KING born 12 Feb 1865 Paisley, Bruce, Ontario (married Mary Alice KELLOGG 1886, Tyrone, Michigan) female KING married John LYNN - thought to have lived Gowlanstown, Ontario 1914 female KING married William MAHER - thought to have lived Chesley, Ontario 1914 William KING - thought to have lived Palmerston, Ontario 1914 Samuel A KING - a marriage record to Phoebe KEYES in 1868 appears to belong >From County Marriage Registers of Ontario, 1858 - 1869, Bruce County: "Samuel King, residence Paisley, son of Moses, married Phoebe Keyes, residence Paisley, daughter of James, in 1868." Samuel not identifiable on 1871 Ontario census female KING - married unknown STOCKFORD George W KING - thought to have lived Saginaw, Michigan 1914 but fits 1871 Canadian Census record in District of Lincoln, Sub district Clinton Jane KING - thought to have married unknown BOLES Hoping to connect this 'stray' KING with extensive family in Australia Thanks Margaret Sydney, Australia

Thanks to all for the info on Balaclava. St Vincent and Sullivan townline south of Johnson Harbour seems to be the right area I am interested in.

----- Original Message ----- From: "T Smith" <[email protected]> To: "Eileen Wilson" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 11:29 AM Subject: Re: [Grey Co.] Balaclava Ontario > Grey County Map: http://www.greycounty.on.ca/maps/nwmap.html > > > >

Balaclava is a small community at the north end of Sydenham township in Grey County.It is close to the Sydenham-St.Vincent townline,and is just south of Johnson Harbour on Georgian Bay. I think it is on Concession C .I remember visiting the general store in Balaclava some years ago. I hope that this helps. Regards Beth

Balaclava is in Sydenham Twp. Go north from Owen Sound on the east side of the Sound but inland. On your map follow Hwy 26 from Owen Sound to Bothwells' Corners, north on 20 to Annan. The road changes name to Lakeshore Drive, keep on it to Balaclava. Elaine Robinson Georgetown Ontario Looking for ALL ONTARIO and MULL Mc/MacKinnons

According to Canadian Geographical Names at this website: http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/search/search_e.php Balaclava is an unincorporated area in Grey County, although I am unable to find it on a map.

Hi, Thanks Carol for the burial records from Chatsworth Anglican Churchyard. Carol mentioned the Bruce and Grey branch of the OGS publishes fiche of obituaries from the area. Does anyone have access to them and could look up any of the following? Thanks Pearce: J. F. 1856-1925; his wife Mary Critchley 1855-1939; dau Mary A. 1888-1977; Charles Critchley d 27 Mar 1885 age 66 yrs 10 mon; John Critchley 1860-1919; his wife Rachel 1861-1928; Sarah wife of Charles Critchley d 23 Sept 1892 age 77 yrs 10 mon The Grey County Museum bookshop has for sale a couple of heafty sounding and presumably detailed volumes on the History of Sullivan Township. Can anyone confirm if the Critchleys get a mention in these volumes - I would expect Charles Critchley to as he was the first municipal treasurer. If so I might invest in them for my father in law who is tickled pink by what I have found out so far about his Great- uncle! Thanks John Irving in Leeds UK

Hi John, I have a copy of "The History of Sullivan Township, 1850 - 1975" On Page 227 the following appears under the chapter "Century and 3 or more generation farms" CRITCHLEY Charles Critchley of England and his wife, Sarah Walker of Ireland took up residence on Lot D, Concession 2 in the 1840's. He bought 50 acres and was given 50 acres if he improved it and bought Lot C on the same terms; patent for east half dated March 17, 1862. They Built a Log House and barn near a spring. The Sydenham river runs between the present buildings and Concession 2 Farm backs on Concessions 3 and 4. They had 4 children with a son John operating a creamery there for a time beforemoving to Northern Ontario. The churn he used was 3 feet square and 6 feet long. Mr. Critchley was clerk of the township from 1851 to 1878. He built a rough cast house (said to be built like a barn) which was used until 1895 and built all his own furniture out of cherry wood. His daughter married Frank Pearce, a son of the William Pearce on Concession 1. In 1925 it was rented to Ellsworth Kidd who later married the youngest daughter, Alma Pearce. They sold it to Edwin Dixon in 1950. It has since that time been occupied by his son-in-law, Isaac Johnson. There is also a write up on the PEARCE family starting on pg 283. There was also a second history book published called "Sullivan Township History Volume 2" However the index does not show any Critchley's mentioned. Hope that helps. It is a great book with much information about pioneering families and life in general in the township I certainly reccomend that you purchase it, not only for the information, but it is also a good read as well.
