Hello: I continue to search for the parentage of Charles CAMERON, early pioneer at York and Crown Land settler on Con. 1 SDS, Lot 35, Toronto Township, Peel County. 1800. He had served as a young Drummer with the 26th of Foots after the American Revolution.. In Robertson's Landmarks. he is found with a Mary and an Ann , at each others weddings and baby baptisms at York. He raised a family of 10 on said farm , the last child's death was in 1912. His sister Ann married Philip HAINES and they lived at Cheltenham. I am taking a 'roud-about -look' , hoping that someone from another part of the family will remember a story of a little Drummer boy who served in Quebec and who had ancestors who fought on the Plains of Abraham. If I can find his parentage I can then connect him to Scotland and the line of Chiefs from which he came. This may sound a little folksy but I will try anything to grab some attention from Peel County . I have only ever had a reply from Jane Watt and Muriel Davidson and one man who was an excellent helper. other than one other from B.C . I guess i am picking up on Muriel's comment about a 'layed back' gang in Peel County compared to other places. I agree with her. I seem to get response from other places and 'list moms' who do a wonderful job of facilitating the searches and bringing vitality to the 'hunt'. Am I wrong?! To re-coup- I am for HAINES and related names and Cameron and related names. Thank you! Delphine Large

I suggest a search of the 1911 Census at http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/index.html It would appear that in 1911 the family may have lived in Wellington County rather than Peel County. Also take a look at the following web site for Erin Township Records. http://www.rootsweb.com/~oncerin/Wellington.htm Lorne ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Duffy" <nsduffy@nexicom.net> To: <CAN-ONT-PEEL@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 9:43 AM Subject: [CAN-ONT-PEEL] The Thompson family of Erin, Brampton. >I am wondering if anyone knows anything about the Thompson Family Farm and >the family.

Many thanks, Elaine! I also checked the SEVEN books of Remembrannce and for 1917, once can check in alphabetical order. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ Click on VETERAN TRIBUTES Then click on Books of Remembrance -- The exact dates are not given, but names and ranks are. Muriel ----- Original Message ----- As Canada remembers Vimy Ridge today, I would like to point out the website www.vimy1917.ca which is dedicated to those who took part in that battle.

I am wondering if anyone knows anything about the Thompson Family Farm and the family. I don't know any of the parents or much about the children. I know that the husband was married 2x. My great aunt Olive Ada Thompson born circa 1910 Erin, Brampton, Peel County Ontario. She had a brother Lorne Thompson. They owned a large acre farm 200 acres in Erin which the train railway ran across the property. If anyone knows of the Thompson Family of Erin or knows about the farm. I would be grateful.

It does not disappear into a dark hole, but these are kept in what are known as "archived lists". The members of the SIMCOE list like to write back and forth, old remedies, some of them give one that UGH feeling. History is an interesting topic and I like to read the articles. So far PEEL and CARLETON cannot quite come up to the goal set by SIMCOE. Many believe a list is only for asking about people but as list administrator -- I ask for history - preferably "way back when", as someone will always be interested. I have only two items -- NO criticism of others and NO $$$$ signs when mentioning books or other items - advertising. Let's make the lists come alive -- that is the purpose of them.

http://torontosun.canoe.ca/News/Columnists/Strobel_Mike/ My oldest son brought me the Toronto Sun this morning and told me there was one page I would be keeping -- a young lad, Cpl. Devin Castilloux shown with Dwight Wilson in the K Wing at Sunnybrook -- Devin now has the three signatures of WWI vets, and one other moved to United States to be near family. The article is well-written -- and I can imagine Dwight Wilson giving Devin the words of wisdom which begin the story. Their ages are just "a bit" apart - only 92 years, same as our Canadian census records. As newspaper story URLs are generally timed, should anyone wish to read the story, please print ot buy the newspaper. Devin's latest flag is in the background -- signed by over 1,000 veterans to date. Devin was one of my husband's young friends -- not too much chatter -- but the feeling was there. Muriel M.

Brian Gilchrist Tracing your Irish family history is indeed an adventure in learning. This workshop will teach you about the basics about the who, what, where, when and why of Irish genealogy, and include such topics as the various jurisdictions you need to know in searching for a birth, marriage and or death record; and how to locate religious registers. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of this course will be the discussion about the many special circumstances of Irish research such as the inconsistencies in names and dates � both of which can lead to doubt as to identity of an ancestor. The afternoon session will concentrate on the basic issues associated with the residence of your ancestral relations: land and property records, taxes, and estate records (Wills). The day will be topped off with detailed suggestions for finding your ancestor's place of origin in Ireland by using Canadian, Irish and British resources. We had to turn people away for this over-booked workshop when it was given in February. Register early to avoid dissappoinment for the Irish workshop in May. Speaker's bio: http://globalgenealogy.com/workshops/bio/gilchrist.htm The workshop registration includes the workshop fee, plus coffee, bottled water and snacks.

Many thanks, Judy for passing this great story along!! This young lady will be in company of thousands, including Queen Elizabeth II as Queen of Canada, the Prime Minister, Oppositions MPs, thousands of teenagers representing all who gave their lives in this battle. My uncle was gassed but returned home after occupation duty. Muriel M. Davidson ----- Original Message ----- Last week our local newspaper had a wonderful feature about a young lady in the Sea Cadets who has earned her own way to take part in the Vimy Ridge ceremony in honour of her great great grandfather. I think it's a wonderful way for the youth to learn about history, not to mention a possibly future genealogist in the making. It's a truly heartwarming story. http://www.miltoncanadianchampion.com/news/article/78480 Judy muriel m davidson <muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca> wrote: To all -- As many know, I have always loved history - part of this note comes from Senator Lorna Milne and from Lloyd Robertson. Heaven to Hell, a story of Vimy Ridge battles and Canadians, will be shown on History Channel at 6 P.M. Sunday. Senator Lorna Milne has seen it at the War Museum in Ottawa and said it is "a great film - in memory of those who did not return". The re-dedication of the 90th anniversary of Vimy Ridge, in the north-western part of France, will take place April 5, 2007, on Easter Monday and there will be a morning special - likely will be on many channels. [Likely will be taped for sales or in remembrance]. Canada will be well-represented -- our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, members of the Opposition, Senator Lorna Milne and her husband Ross. In addition there will be one school student to represent each Canadian who was killed in that battle - the students will be paying tribute to the Canadian he or she represents. Muriel M.

Hello Mary-- It just happens the AVRO Arrow came to a sudden death on a Friday in February about 1958 - I forget the date and exact year as I was a patient at Toronto General Hospital. The plant is about six miles from where I live -- still being used. One test pilot was killed -- he lived on Meadowland Drive in Brampton -- as did many of my neighbours on Crestview Avenue. Some of these received employment at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [At least six families moved from my street] This was a Diefenbaker "item" -- the plane was too far advanced for the slow thinkers of that time, I guess. Come on, Peel County residents -- let's give a helping hand to a young student from my native province of Nova Scotia, I believe -- as the request came in on LUNEN-LINKS. Muriel M.

Also some state they never received 2006 census forms. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Genealogists and family historians view the 2006 census results with saddened hearts. Only 55 percent of the 31.6 million people counted answered "YES" to releasing their census information in 92 years. Some may not be aware of the seriousness of this question and its impact on future generations. The privacy of personal information is paramount in today's society. >From the perspective of family history, however, the privacy laws risks sealing recordsthat are key sources in tracing a family tree. http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/letters/story.html?id=64850d26-4e2f [Copy of what is being typed as timing of letters is often brief] Most of us will have passed on in 92 years. [only Obituaries?] By then, four generations could have come along and produced the next family historian seeking information. Where will that genealogist go for information on grandparents or great-grandparents? Genealogists tuen to such records as the census in hopes of finding information. Their glimmer of hope will soon fade to disappointment and heartache if their ancestors have refused to release personal census information. Those who answer "NO" must have a reason, but is it one that your great-grandchild might accept in 92 years? Those who didn't bother to answer YES or NO to the census question are letting someone else decide for them. For a genealogist, the issue is not what answers were given on the census, but that in 92 years there's proof that you existed. The data provides a better understanding of who you were and where you lived. There is still a chance to change your answer to a "YES". http://www.12.statscan.ca:80/english/census06/reference/info/request.cfm Tammy L. Vallee, Saskatoon - - - - - - - Muriel M.

Hello~ I am interested in locating addition information about Elizabeth SILVERTHORN (b. about 1813 England and d. between 1871-1880) who was probably the mother of Mary GREEN (b. about 1830 in England) and Leurania GREEN (b. September 1835 in Toronto Township). I have theorized that Elizabeth first married a GREEN in England and then married a SILVERTHORN in Peel. Unfortunately, I do not know Elizabeth's maiden name. I have not been able to find Elizabeth Silverthorn in the 1851 census. However, she appears in the 1861 Census in Brampton Village, Peel, boarding with a merchant who is unrelated to her. In the 1871 census, Elizabeth (age 70) is living with Leurania (mistakenly listed as Lorenna) Green Stoddart's family in Amaranth Township in Wellington County. According to the census record, Elizabeth was born in England, was a Methodist (P Meth.), and was widowed. A history of a local land deed provides a bit more information: Abstract of Deeds, Amaranth Township West Half Lot 19 Concession One Mortgage January 1865 to Elizabeth Silverthorn Bill of Sale November 1868 Elizabeth Silverthorn, widow, to Joseph Stoddart [Stoddart was Leurania Green's husband] D of Mortgage March 1880 Leurania G. Stoddart administratrix of the will of E. Silverthorn, to Joseph Stoddart Grant April 1881 Joseph Stoddart to Philip J. Stoddart [Philip was the grandson of Elizabeth Silverthorn] Mortgage May 1892 Leurania G. Stoddart, administratrix of the real and personal estate of the late Joseph Stoddart, to Thomas Rampage Deed January 1901 Philip J. Stoddart, administrator, Leurania Stoddart, widow, administrix of estate of Joseph Stoddart, to Robert Heggiev The following tax documents provide a few more clues regarding possible husbands of Elizabeth: Chinguacousy 1843 Assessment Roll West of Huron Street Silverthorn, David - Con 4, Lots 18 and 20 Silverthorn, Mahlone - Con 4, Lots 18 and 20 Chinguacousy Township Collectors Roll 1855 Silverthorn, Mahlow - Con 4 West, Lot 18 Stoddart, Joseph - Con 2 West, Lot 8 !!!!!!Cry for help!!!!!! Please forward this message on to KATHLEEN A. HICKS, Toronto Township historian and Silverthorn specialist. I have not been able to locate her email or snail mail addresses and would greatly appreciate being able to correspond with her. Thank you for any insights you can provide.

Archive CD Books Canada NEWSLETTER V3#10 - March 2007 Contents: 1 WELCOME 2 WHAT’S IN THE NEWSLETTER 3 NEW CANADIAN RELEASES (2) 4 COMING SOON 5 NEW INTERNATIONAL PARTNER RELEASES 5.1 Ireland (6) 6 NEWS & GOSSIP 7 FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY AND OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS: 8 PREVIOUSLY RELEASED BOOKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 WELCOME: Welcome to the Archive CD Books Canada March newsletter. Signs of Spring? Watch that our "Lion and Lamb" month doesn't catch you out! This newsletter will be published whenever we have enough information to make it worth your while reading, but that usually means there will be about one a month. Remember this Newsletter is published for you so if you think we’re missing something important drop me a line to Malcolm@ArchiveCDBooks.ca. Newsletters work best when they get a good circulation. We’re doing our best to let people know about it but you could help us along by mentioning it to your genealogy buddies and generally spreading the word. All newsletter administration messages should be e-mailed to Books@ArchiveCDBooks.ca In the Subject line you may write: Subscribe Unsubscribe Halt (if you want to put a temporary stop to receiving newsletters) Resume (to lift the Halt and resume receiving newsletters.) All previous newsletters may be accessed by logging on to http://www.ArchiveCDBooks.ca/NewsletterArchive.html 2 WHAT’S IN THE NEWSLETTER: Two new 'book on CD" releases from us here in Canada. One contains three out of five volumes in a great book about Quebec. The other is another Ontario local history. Six new books from our Irish partner, this month. Always worth looking at! Plus the usual news, gossip and announcements. -------------------------- To find a book on our web site http://www.archivecdbooks.ca take a note of the catalogue number - or use the “copy” function - go to the web site, click on the “Search Page” link and enter, or “paste,” the number into the “Product Number” box. Hit “Search” and then “More” and you will be in a position to reread the description or to place your order. Alternatively you can browse through the catalogue using the drop down headings lists. We have tried to multi-list books where they correspond to more than one category but consider the possibility that the subject you are looking for may be under a related heading. There is frequently more information about the books available on the web site than that which is included in the following descriptions. ----------------------------- 3 NEW CANADIAN RELEASES: * The Storied Province of Quebec, Vols 3, 4 & 5 - Biographies CA0031-B: The biographies comprise fully 3 of the total five volumes in this set and the complete index of biographies in volume 5 provides guided access to over 9,000 individual names - being members of more than 1,500 families. We have, however, noticed that the index is not exhaustive. It provides entries for only those having the same family name as the main subject, but not for others related to the family by marriage, and so appearing in the biographies bearing their own family name. Use of the computer search facility is strongly recommended, although human reading is always also suggested as a final resort. While the words "biographies" and "families" have been used above, to be strictly correct there are a few entries which carry the history of prominent organizations and companies. The overwhelming majority of entries are, however, of families and individuals. In addition to the written biographical / historical details there are approximately 350 full page, high quality, portraits of the biographical subjects. It is impossible to categorize in a few words those families whose biographies appear in this great resource. They come from many walks, professions and backgrounds. It would seem evident however that they were families proud of their position in society and of their success. We have abstracted the names from the book's composite index and listed them in a file which you may freely access from our web sites "Downloads" page so you can check for the presence of your ancestors. We have configured this CD to bring you the greatly improved search speed of our FastFind technology. See the website catalogue for a more complete description of this CD. * Past Years in Pickering CA0199: The Rev. William has provided us with, as he puts it, "a series of sketches," taking for their subjects various aspects of life and development of the Township. These sketches are filled with references to inhabitants and families who played a role in the settling and development although for a more in-depth examination of the inhabitants we turn to his last chapter which occupies fully one third of the book and provides the biographies of hundreds of local people and, frequently, their families. The numerous changes in boundaries and administrative responsibility in the area make it difficult to name all the various locations which have been influenced by Pickering Township over the years, but the following list is our attempt at the task, taken mainly from places mentioned in the book: Balsam, Brock, Brougham, Cherrywood, Claremont, Dunbarton, Duffinís Creek, Eldon, Frenchmanís Bay, Glensharred, Green River, Greenwood, Jackson, Kinsale, Liverpool, Mariposa, Mount Pleasant, Pickering, Rosebank, Rougemount, Rouge River, Salem, Whitevale. In addition there are frequent references in the book to the adjacent centers of Whitby, Markham, Mississauga, Scarborough, & Stouffville. The more "historical" chapters deal with some of the aspects of life important to the inhabitants such as religion, agriculture, politics and industry. There is even a chapter titled, "Pickering at Play." Other themes which may be of particular interest are the establishment of the Quaker settlement and of Pickering college, use of the Rouge River mouth as a shipping centre, and the influence the busy Kingston - Toronto road had on the area. We have placed a freely downloadable sampler of pages from this book on our Downloads page for your review, and the book's Table of Contents is included in it. The author did not however provide an index, so it is something of a task to find particular names within the 316 pages of text of the actual book. Our CD republication, however, is fully text searchable and the search feature is enhanced with our FastFind technology to make your searches almost instantaneous. See the website catalogue for a more complete description of this CD. ---------------------------------- 4 COMING SOON: The remaining two volumes of The Storied Province of Quebec - the history - are already being scanned. The plan is to have that CD released as well as the product combining the whole 5 volume set available before next month. As usual we are juggling our short term publishing schedule with our other ongoing projects so I quite literally can't tell you what else to expect next month. I'm sure it will be a pleasant surprise to all of us though! :-) ---------------------------------- 5 NEW RELEASES FROM OUR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS 5.1 FROM IRELAND * Bassett's Kilkenny Guide & Directory 1884 IET0021: Bassett's County Kilkenny is both a directory and a guide to the entire county in 1884. It is one of the most important sources published for late nineteenth century Kilkenny, recording details (addresses and occupations) for around 10,000 people in the county. It contains 360 pages of detailed information, as well as an excellent full colour map. The book begins with the history, economy, geology and social life of the county. This is followed by a full directory for every town and village, giving the names and details for all office-holders, professionals, merchants and tradesmen, as well as a full alphabetical directory of farmers and other residents not listed by trade. There is a detailed introduction to each town and village, with information about the economy, history, religion, railways, post, and general character of the place. It includes an extended treatment for Kilkenny city, and the towns of Callan, Castlecomer, Graigue, and Thomastown, as well as entries for 44 other towns and villages. The book finishes with an index of places, a list of fairs and markets, and includes many commercial advertisements.  * Bassett's Louth Guide & Directory 1886 IET0024: Bassett's County Louth is both a directory and a guide to the entire county in 1886. It is one of the most important sources published for late nineteenth century Louth, recording details (addresses and occupations) for around 10,000 people in the county. It contains 421 pages of detailed information, as well as an excellent full colour map. The book begins with the history, economy, geology and social life of the county. This is followed by a full directory for every town and village, giving the names and details for all office-holders, professionals, merchants and tradesmen, as well as a full alphabetical directory of farmers and other residents not listed by trade. There is a detailed introduction to each town and village, with information about the economy, history, religion, railways, post, and general character of the place. It includes an extended treatment for Drogheda and Dundalk, as well as entries for 51 other towns and villages. The book finishes with an index of places, a list of fairs and markets, and includes many commercial advertisements.  * Hanna's The Scotch-Irish IET0061: Charles Hanna's "The Scotch-Irish, or the Scot in North Britain, North Ireland, and North America" is a vital source for anyone interested in the history of the involvement of Scottish settlers in Ireland or North America. Published in two volumes in 1902, and running to more than 1,200 pages, this resource is packed with details on the origin and migration of Scottish people over the course of twelve centuries. The author did not intend to produce a history of the Scotch-Irish people, as 'such a work would require more time and labor than have been expended upon the present undertaking' (vol. i, p. v). Nonetheless, Hanna succeeded in providing an impressive, lucid and readable account of the principal developments in Scottish, Irish and American history and Scots Irish influenced philosophical thought until the end of the seventeenth century. Early censuses and surveys are transcribed, which will assist researchers interested in the development of Scots Irish settlement at this juncture (vol. ii, pp 94-130). Extensive appendices provide important additional information, including the lists of the principal Scottish names (vol. ii, pp 422-440), the location of Scottish families in Ireland (vol. ii, pp 518-527) and a detailed lists of Scottish peers, lords, office holders and members of the Scottish parliament, until it was dissolved in 1707 (vol. ii, pp 440-518). Researchers with an interest in human migration and in the history of Scotland, Ireland or North America will find this an extremely useful resource and thought provoking source.  * Pococke's Tour in Ireland in 1752 IET0062: Born in Southampton in 1704 (d. 1765), Dr Richard Pococke, later bishop of Ossory (1756-65) and Meath (1765), is best known for his travel writings and diaries. Pococke had a passion for travelling, and travelled extensively through Ireland and Britain and further abroad. During the 1750s Pococke undertook a number of tours around various parts of Ireland, the longest of which occurred during the summer and autumn of 1752. In the course of that tour Pococke travelled in a circuit around Ireland, passing through twenty counties, and recording the details of his expedition. His diary of this remarkable tour remained in the library of Trinity College for almost a century and a half, until it was first published, edited by George Stokes, the noted antiquarian, in 1891. Pococke's tour is a very important source for anybody interested in Irish society in the eighteenth century for two reasons. In the first instance, it is extremely detailed, providing a balanced account of his experiences during his extraordinary tour. Secondly, it provides descriptive accounts of parts of the country which rarely appear in eighteenth-century accounts, including remote parts of west Donegal and west Mayo.  Researchers with an interest in travel writing and social history will find this an extremely readable and useful account of eighteenth-century Ireland.  See the website catalogue for a more complete description of this CD. * Statistical Survey of County Mayo, 1802 IET0063: The Irish Statistical Survey was carried out under the direction of the Royal Dublin Society. Each county was surveyed with the aim of determining the 'actual state, capabilities and defects of agriculture, manufactures and rural economy'. In practice the surveys contained a vast quantity of local information on almost every aspect of the county surveyed. Because these studies were carried out under central direction the quality of the information provided is good, and given their early date, they remain an invaluable source for the study of each county. They record many details about conditions in pre-Famine Ireland, including social and economic conditions, the growth of population and poverty, education, religion, history, the Irish language and local customs. See the website catalogue for a more complete description of this CD. McParlan's Survey of Co. Mayo is especially useful for the study of all social and economic conditions in the County at this time. As a medical doctor he was particularly sensitive to the plight of the poor. His overall remarks concerning Mayo are very positive in almost all respects. He gives an extended treatment for what he calls the 'half barony of Erris' being Belmullet peninsula and the sounding area. He also covers in some detail local customs of the general population. In short this is an essential resource for those studying Mayo and its people.  * The Crofton Memoirs, 1911 IET0064: Crofton memoirs, compiled by Henry Thomas Crofton and published in 1911, provides valuable source material for any researchers interested in either the history of the Crofton family or in the early modern history of the east Connaught region. The book is structured in three parts, the first of which focuses on John Crofton (b. 1540), from Cornhill in London. Crofton was an important figure in late Tudor Ireland. He first arrived in Ireland in 1565, a member of the entourage of the new Lord Deputy, Sir Henry Sidney. The following year Sidney undertook his 'progress' (tour) through Ulster and Connaught, and was again accompanied, it appears, by Crofton. Although the Connaught branch of the Croftons remains the focus of this work, also detailed are the families and the pedigrees of related or associated families. Part two of the book describes the family's heraldry and part three is dedicated to an examination of the descendants of John Crofton, and details the succession of various branches of the family between Crofton's time and the time of publication of the book. Running to two hundred pages in nine sections, this part details the succession and development of Crofton families originating from John Crofton. Much important detail is provided on families in the Connaught counties of Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo and Roscommon, and branches that had migrated, either within Ireland, or abroad.  Researchers with an interest in the history of the Crofton family, the general east Connaught region or the operation of structures of governance in the Tudor period will find this an extremely readable and interesting account.  See the website catalogue for a more complete description of this CD. ----------------------------------- 6 NEWS & GOSSIP: If any of you have genealogy related questions of a general nature - or something specifically related to Archive CD Books - we'd be glad to publish your question in this newsletter to tap into the enormous fund of knowledge which I know is out there.
