Hi Bill, That is quite a long period to be researching. My guess is that you would be best off looking directories from the intervening years to at least get the names you need. HOWEVER, I did a lookup in our CD publication of Lovell's Canadian Dominion Directory for 1871, CA0192, just to test it out and there may be a problem. At that time Alton has a population of 400 and there is no listing for an undertaker. Well, think about it, you couldn't make a living just undertaking for 400 people! Looking at a few other villages of a similar size they didn't list undertakers either. Doing an overall search (our CDs are fully computer search-able which is ideal for situations like this) it looks as if the majority of undertakers did it as a "sideline." The only dedicated ones were in larger cities. From the search it looks as if mainly tradesmen and merchants in the furniture business did the undertaking as a sideline. (I guess it has to do with the supply of coffins.) Anyway, there is a listing in the directory for a George F. Bull giving his occupation as "Cabinetmaker and Country Constable." Obviously a multifaceted talent, so it is possible that he did the undertaking too. There are also a couple of listings for sawyers and shingle makers - less likely, but possible. I did notice a listing for, Riddall K. Knight M.D. as Surgeon & Coroner, which would make a neat package if undertaking were included, but then I doubt such a person would need the extra income. I wish you luck in your search but this little piece of research doesn't look too encouraging I'm afraid. Malcolm Archive CD Books Canada Inc.

Oh yes, me too!! I hope that someone posts this to the list...I would be very grateful...Perhaps then I would have one more place to search for my great grandfather & possibly a cousin or two...My great-grandmother, Jane Ferguson Dunne Sweeney who died in 1919 and buried at Forest Lawn, the service held at St. Peter's, I assume her first husband (my great-grandfather Thomas Dunne who died in 1871) in Alton (Lot 3, Concession 18, Peel Township, Dist. 35; subdist B; Div 4; pg 45 69 acres,) could/would been taken there...I have no burial place for him either...

Searching for the names of Funeral Homes/Undertakers at Alton village from 1830's to 1960's. I presently have knowledge of one name, O.W. Cavan whom I knew to be in business there in the 1940's. I wish, if possible to gain access to the burial records of this Funeral Home for the period mentioned assuming that they are still available? Thank you for your assistance, Bill On.Can.

According to Webster an heirloom is "A piece of property that descends to the heir as an inseparable part of an inheritance or Something of special value handed on from one generation to another." People love to research the past but sometimes they do little to protect the pieces of family life they find for the future.

Each bond was consulted in order to verify the names of the future husband and wife and the date of the bond. Many indexes exist for Catholic marriages that took place in Quebec and in Ontario. It is more difficult to trace a marriage that took place in a Protestant church. Marriage bonds were prepared only for Protestant marriages by licence. The groom was required to enter into a bond with one or two people (sureties) who knew him and who were prepared to guarantee to the Crown that no legal impediment to the marriage existed. After obtaining the bond, a licence was issued and the marriage took place a few days later. See: http://globalgazette.net ********************************** NEW BOOKS this week BOOK - King's Daughters and Founding Mothers: The Filles du Roi, 1663-1673 (2 Vol. Set) by: Peter J. Gagn�. A groundbreaking biographical dictionary of the nearly 800 women and girls sent from France to populate Quebec between 1663 and 1673. The introduction explains the need for the program, compares it to similar initiatives by the British and Spanish, dispels misconceptions about the Filles du Roi and gives a history of the program in Canada. Includes information and index to husbands of Filles du Roi. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/quebec/resources/602022.htm BOOK - Before The King's Daughters: The Filles a Marier, 1634-1662 by: Peter J. Gagn�. Before the state-sponsored immigration program that sent nearly 800 women known as Filles du Roi to Qu�bec, 262 brave and adventurous women made the journey to New France on their own. Sent by relatives and religious organizations or enlisting on their own account, these women did not benefit from a paid passage and dowry drawn from the King's treasury, but they did face the same if not worse hardships and dangers. Known as the Filles � Marier or "marriageable girls," they were the first single women to set foot in the colony since its return from the English in 1632.

Received with two addresses -- I dumped these!! Please delete my name if you forward to friends. I have received emails with as many as 15 other addresses. Muriel =========================== Subject: Important e-mail forwarding message you ought to know Please read this, everyone. There is good information here (especially #4)! And don't take it personally if you already do it right. I'm sending this to everyone! Clean up your e-mails before you forward them. Words To Live By. A friend who is a computer expert received the following directly from a system administrator for a corporate system. It is an excellent message that ABSOLUTELY applies to ALL of us who send emails. Please read the short letter below, even if you're sure you already follow proper procedures. Do you really know how to forward emails? 50% of us do; 50% DO NOT. Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate it? Every time you forward an email there is information left over from the people who got the message before you, namely their email addresses and names. As the messages get forwarded along, the list of addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some poor sap to get a virus, and his or her computer can send that virus to every email address that has come across his computer. Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the hopes that you will go to the site and he will make five cents for each hit. That's right, all of that inconvenience over a nickel! How do you stop it? Well, there are several easy steps. Try the following if you haven't done it before: (1) When you forward an email, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of the message (at the top). That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them, backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It only takes a second. You MUST click the "Forward" button first and then you will have full editing capabilities against the body and headers of the message. If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the message at all. (2) Whenever you send an email to more than one person, do NOT use the To: or Cc: fields for adding email addresses. Always use the BCC:(blind carbon copy) field for listing the email addresses. This is the way the people you send to will only see their own email address. If you don't see your BCC: option click on where it says To: and your address list will appear. Highlight the address and choose BCC: and that's it, it's that easy. When you send to BCC: your message will automatically say "Undisclosed Recipients in the "TO:" field of the people who receive it. (3) Remove any "FW :" in the subject line. You can re-name the subject if you wish or even fix spelling. (4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual email you are reading. Ever get those emails that you have to open 10 pages to read the one page with the information on it? By Forwarding from the actual page you wish someone to view, you stop them from having to open many emails just to see what you sent. (5) Have you ever gotten an email that is a petition? It states a position and asks you to add your name and address and to forward it to 10 or 15 people or your entire address book. The email can be forwarded on and on and can collect thousands of names and email addresses. A FACT: The completed petition is actually worth a couple of bucks to a professional spammer because of the wealth of valid names and email addresses contained therein. DO NOT put your email address on any petition. If you want to support the petition, send it as your own personal letter to the intended recipient. Your position may carry more weight as a personal letter than a laundry list of names and email addresses on a petition. (And don't believe the ones that say that the email is being traced; it just ain't so!) Some of the other emails to delete and not forward are: a. The one that says something like, "Send this email to 10 people and you'll see something great run across your screen." Or sometimes they'll just tease you by saying 'something really cute will happen.' ;IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!!! (We are still seeing some of the same emails that we waited on 10 years ago!) b. I don't let the bad luck ones scare me either, they get trashed. c. Before you forward an 'Amber Alert' , or a 'Virus Alert' , or some of the other emails floating around nowadays, check them out before you forward them. Most of them are junk mail that's been circling the net for YEARS! Just about everything you receive in an email that is in question can be checked out at Snopes. Just go to www.snopes.com . It's really easy to find out if it's real or not. If it's not, please don't pass it on. So please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail and the viruses. Finally, here's an idea!!! Let's send this to everyone we know ( but strip my address off first, please). This is something that SHOULD be forwarded, so do it.

Looking to share information of the Parker/Hackett/Battersby/North/Clarkson/House families of Peel County. Mark Biles

Trafalgar Township Historical Society invites the public to help keep history alive. Learn more at the Society’s AGM in a one-room schoolhouse Scanning historic family photos, surveying important historical buildings in North Oakville, renovating a one-room schoolhouse and holding a Family Heritage Day where costumed historical characters told the stories of some of our area’s earliest families are just some of the activities the Trafalgar Township Historical Society (TTHS) has engaged in since its founding last January. To learn more and to find out how you can participate in this active community group come out to the Society’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Wednesday, February 7 at 7 p.m. in the one room schoolhouse, 2431 Dundas Street West, on the north side just east of Bronte Road. The meeting is an excellent way for people who are new to the area to learn more about the history of north Oakville. The AGM is also an opportunity for the descendants of some of Trafalgar’s earliest settlers to reconnect with other family members, friends and neighbours. The meeting will feature a presentation on the previous year’s activities and outline future projects. Special guest speaker will be Sean Fraser of the Heritage Trust and his associate Kiki Aravopoulos, talking about getting designation for heritage properties. A new board of Directors will also be elected. All of the community we now know as Oakville was once Trafalgar Township. Surrounding “Old Oakville”, Trafalgar Township originally extended to the Lake on both the east (Winston Churchill) and west (Burloak Drive) and then stretched over the farmland to the north all the way to Steeles. The TTHS is concentrated on preserving the agricultural history of the northern part of what is now Oakville. The Trafalgar Township Historical Society has four goals: 1. Documentation: by working with the Oakville Library, we have been preserving the history of Trafalgar Township through scanning family photos and collecting oral histories of the Trafalgar families, preserving them for future generations. The scanned photos have become part of a National Archive of historic photos. Hundreds of photos and documents have been scanned to date. We are especially pleased that the Province of Alberta, having heard of our initiative, has now adopted it province wide and has sent vans equipped with scanning equipment around the province to record the history of their towns and villages. 2. Education: we would like to inform Oakville’s citizens, many of whom are new to the area, about the rich history of Trafalgar Township. 3. Celebration: we would like to celebrate our area’s rural roots and give the community, especially the children, a tangible way to connect with the past. To this end, we are currently planning our Second Annual Family Heritage Day. 4. Preservation: we would like to engage the public in the need to preserve buildings of historical significance. Our first step in this area to preserve the one-room schoolhouse on Dundas just east of Bronte and make it the home of the Trafalgar Township Historical Society.

Perhaps a little late but never the less we would like to wish you every success in your new year and a hope that your ears are filled with the sounds of crumbling "brick walls." 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 All previous newsletters may be accessed by visiting: http://www.ArchiveCDBooks.ca/NewsletterArchive.html 2 WHAT’S IN THE NEWSLETTER: A more modest listing of new releases that our December omnibus edition, but what this listing lacks in length it makes up for in content. There is a great compendium deal on directories which is a "must have" for students of australian genealogy. A "classic" Civil War reference from our USA partner and; Two really useful Atlantic Provinces releases from us here in Canada. Plus the usual news, gossip and announcements. -------------------------- 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: * A History of the County of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, 1929 CA0237: In the spirit of "Truth in Advertising," a better title might have been "A History of the People of Antigonish." Fully two thirds of this very rare book are devoted to biographical descriptions of the early and well know families of this ancient Nova Scotia region. Not to say that the historical content is trivial. The biographies are arranged by family groups and indexed by the root family name. Normally this would present something of a problem in accessing information on individuals associated by marriage (i.e., having a different family name) but as we have made the entire book computer searchable - and further enhanced that searchability with our FastFind technology - every name in the book is opened for instant reference. You will find a freely downloadable sampler made from selected pages from this book on our Downloads page. This will not only provide you with a chance to review the work but also to see the Table of Contents showing the family name roots which are the subject of the included biographies. (Consult our web site for more details.) * New Brunswick in the 1940's CA0078: On this CD we are bringing you complete copies of two useful books from the 1940's. The first is the Telephone directory for Western New Brunswick for July 1947, one of the few available resources for finding people living in the area between one and two generations ago.  The other is "An Historical Guide to New Brunswick" and was published as an incentive to tourist travel in 1942. This guide was provided by the New Brunswick Government Bureau of Information and Tourist Travel, for the potential tourist so he would know where to go and what to look for when he got there. Liberally illustrated with maps, and photographs of the spots of interest, today it provides us with a, not to strenuous, history of New Brunswick, indexed by the places where the events which shaped the province took place. The Telephone Directory is quite a normal household directory, giving name, address and phone number, and was provided to it's subscribers by the New Brunswick Telephone Company, Limited, of Fredericton. It provides 112 pages of listings for private and commercial subscribers on 35 exchanges, 2 of which were actually in Maine, USA, and 5 of which were owned and operated by other Canadian telephone companies. The full list of exchanges is too long to print here but we have provided a sampler of the CD on the free Downloads page on our web site which includes the page listing the exchanges so you can see them just as they were originally printed. Major exchanges are Fredericton, Edmunston, and Woodstock. Both the Telephone Directory and the Historical Guide are fully text searchable and we have optimized the search speed by enabling our FastFind enhancement on the CD (Consult our web site for more details.) ---------------------------------- 4 COMING SOON: We are in the middle of making the reproduction of a Gt. War book which has a particular association with the province of Nova Scotia and expect that it will be released before the next newsletter is circulated. Soon to go onto the scanner is a bound copy of five months worth of issues of a Canadian weekly news magazine. So what? Well the five months are April through August of 1916 so it is packed with reports and pictures of the war, and better still it contains the "gazette" lists of canadian soldiers killed, injured, promoted, mentioned in dispatches or who have in some way distinguished themselves. Since we obtained this book we have been looking for copies of other editions with no success at all. This seems to be a rare source of Gt War information, not to mention what was going on here in Canada during the conflict. ---------------------------------- 5 NEW RELEASES FROM OUR INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS 5.1 FROM AUSTRALIA * Australian State Directories (Wises) c1904 Compendium AU1100: Here is a very special offer available for you - instead of buying all six directories (as listed below) individually, why not buy them as a set and save big $$$'s. This compendium includes:New South Wales Post Office Directory 1904Queensland Post Office Directory 1903South Australia Post Office Directory 1903Tasmania Post Office Directory 1904Victorian Post Office Directory 1904Western Australia Post Office Directory 1905 (Consult our web site for more details.)     * Sands Sydney and Suburban Directory 1902 AU2113-1902: This Sands Sydney directory contains towns, alphabetical, trade and miscellaneous sections which lists the names, addresses and professions of most people in Sydney in 1902. It also includes a street guide for some of the major towns and separate directories on education, ecclesiastical, government and European manufactures. This product provides a great tool for researching Australian history, making information that is difficult to find plainly and easily accessible on one CD. (Consult our web site for more details.)    * Victoria and its Metropolis 1888 AU7002: Victoria and Its Metropolis is a large 2 volume history of Victoria, written in 1888 by Alexander Sutherland. Beautifully presented with many etchings and drawings throughout, this book is the perfect addition to any library of Australian and Victorian history. It contains a huge amount of information on the people of the colony and its early history. Hundreds of biographical entries are scattered throughout and a comprehensive biographical index is included at the end. This work provides an invaluable resource for all local and social historians of Victoria and its metropolis of Melbourne. (Consult our web site for more details.) 5.2 FROM THE USA * Regimental Losses in the American Civil War (1861-1865) US0221: William Fox has created a massive reference work (published in 1889), which brings together in one place statistics on all those killed on the Union side in the Civil War. By cross-referencing the data in various ways, the author provides many useful insights on the course of the war and the ways that men might die. By arranging the data in different ways, Fox has made this volume an essential companion volume to the Official Records, providing an easy way to determine where the regiments fit into the higher level of brigade, division and corps, and which battles the regiments participated in. The CD includes high-quality images of every page as originally published (not just a transcript) and is fully searchable using Adobe Acrobat Reader (Consult our web site for more details.) ----------------------------------- 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. * FREE MAILING Despite the Post Offices again increasing it's mailing rates we are still managing to maintain our offer of free mailing within Canada. ----------------------------------- 7 FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY AND OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS: * SOMERSET ONLINE PARISH CLERK PROJECT Seven years ago the Online Parish Clerk program began in Cornwall. Since then similar projects have been established in Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, Kent, Wiltshire, Warwickshire, and Lancashire In Dec 2006 an OPC project began in Somerset. The aim of the scheme is to further research in family, local, social and economic history by making freely available records relating to a parish. The Somerset OPC project is currently focused on, but not restricted to the parishes within the Archdeaconry of Taunton. We are still very much in an evolutionary phase and our website and database at wsom-opc.org.uk is growing steadily as new data is donated and volunteers come forward to adopt a parish as an Online Parish Clerk or OPC. Transcription of parish records is encourages but this is not essential to becoming an OPC. A volunteer will find the work rewarding, it may help identify further sources for research and will generally add to your knowledge of parish life through the centuries. If you work on a parish where you have ancestors, you may well add to your knowledge of your own family links as a result of your efforts. Are you interested in joining the team? If so, please contact me and I can give you further details. If you have transcriptions you would like to donate to the site, but feel unable/unwilling to be an OPC, please let us know. All donations of transcripts, photographs, articles and general historical information are very welcome. Jim Sheppard, Ottawa, ON.

Hello Eve. I grew up with Shirley, Barbara and Margaret Gill, daughters of Howard Gill, whom I believe is descended from this couple. I still live in Springfield (called Erindale Village when we were children) and am still in contact with Shirley and Margaret. Barbara died several years ago. If you wish me to act as mediary I would be happy to do so. Shir;ey and I were and still are good friends, and we went to school together also. Just let me know. If you have specific questions, I could try to get the answers for you. Yours truly, Mary (Barker) Wilkinson -----Original Message----- From: can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Eve Roberts Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2007 1:59 PM To: CAN-ONT-PEEL@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAN-ONT-PEEL] Surnames GILL and FOLEY I'm looking for info on family of Thomas Gill and Catherine Corcoran (or Curran) and also the children of Catherine's second marriage to Jeremiah Foley.
