Sorry, I should have also mentioned that the Baptist Archives is at McMaster University in Hamilton. Unfortunately, the Baptists have no collection policy, so the records are very scattered.

Just tossing in a suggestion.... How about the finding the religious denomination and going to the church archives? I found my gr-gr-gr-grandparents marriage licence copy in 31May1839... the only additional information was the father-inlaw details (not much, but still helpful!)

They were married by a Presbyterian Minister named Rev'd James Harris, in Toronto Ontario.

Oakville youth busy signing up war veterans Krissie Rutherford Sep 30, 2006 A local 14-year-old's attempt to remember and honour Canada's military past and future has become a remarkable piece of Canadian history. More than 800 Canadian men and women who fought in conflicts from World War I to the war currently raging in Afghanistan have signed Devin Castilloux's flag. for the past three years, the Grade 9 T.A. Blakelock student has been collecting the signatures of veterans and active military men and women to remember and honour those, who, he says, "don't receive enough recognition." "It's to remember all the people from the Korean war, the first World War, the second World War, who passed away," said Devin. "And it's to recognize people who are fighting now. "No one will remember them for what they did unless we start now." The flag is enormous - it began as just a Canadian flag, then a large, white flag was added, Devin explained. Now, it's several flags stitched together. One of those pieces was recently in Kandahar, and just returned along with 22-year-old Charlie Long, an Oakville resident who was stationed there for nearly seven months. The piece of the flag was flown there adding another piece of Canadian military history to Devin's project. "I'm surprised how many signed it. Unfortunately, I think about two or three of them didn't make it back," Devin said. "I have to thank Charlie. I could have gotten all of these recent Canadian Afghanistan vets on the flag (without him), and for flying my Canadian Flag over there. Now, it's the newest Canadian battle flag." Those signatures are added to those of veterans of WWI, WWII, the Korean War and Canadian Peacekeepers, who Devin met on trips to Sunnybrook hospital, Ottawa, Calgary, the Oakville Legion, at various remembrance services and more over the past three years. "I've met many people and heard a lot of stories. Unfortunately, some of the people who signed it have passed," Devin said, including one of his favourite WWI veterans, Charles Clarence Laking. "He was amazing. He said one of my favourite quotes: He wouldn't do the war again for $100,000, but he wouldn't not do it again for a million. He's saying it was a good experience, but he wouldn't do it again." Laking is one of more than 600 veterans Devin has shaken hands with, said his dad, Mike, who, with his wife, Heather, is responsible for cultivating this love of Canadian history in their son. Devin's flag, he hopes, will fly in Ottawa next month during Remembrance Week to represent that same idea. "I want it to fly on Parliament hill on the Peace Tower," said Devin, adding on the peace tower," , adding he sent a letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper explaining his idea. "If I can't get it there, I want to fly it at Memorial Hall at the bottom of the Peace Tower." This, he says, would be an important way to honour and remember Canada's military past. "Everyone says America this, America that, China this, China that," he said. "Canada won't speak for itself. "WWI, WWII, Korea - they'll all be forgotten. This flag is to try and remember." Canadian veterans interested in signing Devin Castilloux's flag or visiting with him should email devin@castilloux.com -- Krissie Rutherford can be reached at krutherford@oakvillebeaver.com

Hello Bruce (or Madge) I will be sending the story about Devin, 14 years of age -- more at home with veterans than other people. He is trying to remember them in years to come -- his first flag was a real Canadian flag -- could not be used -- now he has designed his own flag with a huge poppy in the middle. Our present Minister of Veteran;s Affairs is Greg Thompson from New Brunswick -- Thompson.G@parl.gc.ca It is a wonder John Reynolds did not reply. As head of Canada Census Committee -- we are transcribing 1911 census records -- John was a staunch supporter. As for Veteran's Affairs -- I have been dealing with them recently to try and increase my monthly income as a veteran - Code Talker, I am certain there are only three WWI vets left -- Lloyd Hammett at Sunnybrook is one -- Clare Laking passed away the same week my husband did -- Will send the story about Devin -- he puts some of the elders to shame.

I have had to forward this newspaper article as I could not send it otherwise -- click on the underlined word here for story. I am very proud of what Devin is doing -- his goal is to keep the memory of veterans alive -- if only by a name on a flag. His hope is to have the flag flown in Ottawa on Remembrance Day -- if not I would suggest Sunnybrook Veterans Wing -- The veterans would be honoured as many have signed the flag. Muriel M.

Good luck, Joan Hunter Essex, Ontario Canada -----Original Message----- From: can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of The Gifford's Sent: Friday, September 22, 2006 1:08 PM To: CAN-ONT-PEEL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAN-ONT-PEEL] Attention of Jane Watt. Jane, Your name has been forwarded to me as one who might be able to provide some information regarding a family I am researching in Chinguacousy Township, Peel County. I am hoping to find someone who has the transciptions for the Harrison United Wesleyan Methodist Church cemetery. I am interested in the Kerr family of Chinguacousy Township who are supposedly buried there. When the 1911 census was enumerated my grandmother Elizabeth Merretta Kerr was no longer in her parent's home in Grey County but living with one Robert Kerr on Mill Street in Brampton Ontario. She is described as his niece. If Robert Kerr was an uncle, his age at 83 would probably make him the brother of her grand-father James Kerr (1810 - 1885) rather than the brother of her father John Kerr (1852 - 1913) - both men from Grey County. Some research is needed to confirm this relationship, as I have no names for the siblings of James Kerr, who reportedly came to Canada with his "father's family" in the early 1830's, and first settled in Chinguacousy. I am hoping that a transcription of the Kerr grave markers in the above cemetery might prove of use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. B.J. Gifford pjgifford@rogers.com

Jane, Your name has been forwarded to me as one who might be able to provide some information regarding a family I am researching in Chinguacousy Township, Peel County. I am hoping to find someone who has the transciptions for the Harrison United Wesleyan Methodist Church cemetery. I am interested in the Kerr family of Chinguacousy Township who are supposedly buried there. When the 1911 census was enumerated my grandmother Elizabeth Merretta Kerr was no longer in her parent's home in Grey County but living with one Robert Kerr on Mill Street in Brampton Ontario. She is described as his niece. If Robert Kerr was an uncle, his age at 83 would probably make him the brother of her grand-father James Kerr (1810 - 1885) rather than the brother of her father John Kerr (1852 - 1913) - both men from Grey County. Some research is needed to confirm this relationship, as I have no names for the siblings of James Kerr, who reportedly came to Canada with his "father's family" in the early 1830's, and first settled in Chinguacousy. I am hoping that a transcription of the Kerr grave markers in the above cemetery might prove of use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. B.J. Gifford pjgifford@rogers.com

Hello Jane: I wonder if I might ask a favour of you. I don't have access to the the cemeteries in Trafalgar Twp. and I was wondering if you did have, or know someone who could do a look-up for me. There are a few WALWYN's buried in Trafalgar Twp., I think, but I haven't been able to find them on OCFA. I cam across them many, many years ago and I can't remember the exact cemetery, but possibly the Pioneer Cemetery. Although this family isn't related to mine, as far as I know, I keep running across Walwyn/Wallwin/Walwin families that may be connected and I am collecting them in Ontario. I believe the WALWYN's in Trafalgar were very early pioneers - possibly as early as 1812-15 may have taken part in the War of 1813, or may have gone to the Niagara Region. They may have originally come from Yorkshire in England. An old Canadian poem by ? Kirby called "The U.E." mentions what I believe is this family. I have a copy of this (lengthy) poem (now in storage at my son's house) and Kirby took considerable poetic licence, so his writings cannot be relied on for historical accuracy. (I can't remember Kirby's first name offhand) Any help you could give me would be very much appreciated.
