Page 633: S.S. No 8, Bentinck (Louise School) The first trustees in the school were S.B. Wilson, Peter Cromar and James Brander, and it was customary to pay some person to go over to Hanover to get the school monies. In 1876, James Brander was paid $4 for making 4 new benches, and $10 was paid to dig a ditch in the yard -- 12 rods, 1 yard long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet deep to be filled in with stones from the yard. The trustees used to vist the school to hear the pupils at their lessons. In 1876, they visited the school in July, November, and December and gave Miss Carolll great praise for her zeal in teaching the pupils. Page 635: Continuation of story about Louise School Salaries ranged from $220 to $370 (for teachers). The secretaries were S.B. Wilson, James Brander, Peter Cromar, William Morrison and Robert Laidlaw. Up until the year 1885, the secretaries received no salary and they changed office frequently. In 1885, they received the sum of two dollars and were paid from then on.

Hi Eileen ----------------------------------------- I will be happy to do lookups in the book if everyone would first have a look at the on-line index, and give me the page references, so it will make my life a little easier. It may take a couple of days, but I will get to them. Eileen --------------------------------------- In Farm Lanes of Bentinck <http://www.bmts.com/~rdc/>, there are several references to the Legate and Legette s. My point of focus is Robert Legate of Greenside and his siblings that arrived in the 1840s. His children (for sure) moved all over the place - even a trip to Chile in the pre-Panama canal 1890s - including Bentinck. Would you be so kind as to do a lookup for this family?

Hi George Just a thought could the Henry Cole located in the town of Durham in 1881 be yours? I know my ancestors changed profession and religion with each census. later Ida Census Place: Durham, Grey South, Ontario, Canada Source: FHL Film 1375896 NAC C-13260 Dist 154 SubDist A Page 29 Family 148 Sex Marr Age Origin Birthplace Annie COLE F M 60 English England Religion: Methodist Albert PETTY M 15 English O <Ontario> Religion: Methodist Henry COLE M M 60 Irish Ireland Occ: Carpenter Religion: Methodist "George F.

Thanks to several listers on this list for responding to my inquiry on Bentinck Farms book lookup. I now have the Leoppard information. April in BC

Dear List, What became of Henry Cole, born about 1821, innkeeper or tavern-keeper in Glenelg, his wife Mary (McLellan), born about 1831-1833, and their many children: Peter; John; Sarah; Norman; William Henry; Hugh; Angus; Archibald; Charles; and Mary Ann? They appear in the 1861 and 1871 census in Glenelg, then all disappear. They do not show up on the 1881 census CDs for Canada, or on the 1880 census CDs for the U.S. Is this an early case of alien abduction? The family were Presbyterians; the wife was born in Scotland, but all the others in Ontario. Thanks for any information at all. George Sanborn New Hampshire

Eileen - I have a couple of questions about the content of this book. Is the information on the individuals statistiacal, ie. land registrations, tax rolls, and the like? Are there narrative histories of some of the families? Please reply directly to me at [email protected] Thank you Dick McElhoes Winnipeg
