It was supposed to have been held July 4, 1874 in Alton,Peel County, but I can find no record of it. I have checked and double checked the Indexes to Marriage Registrations from the Ontario Archives, and checked the actual marriage registration reels for Peel County from 1872-1877 in case they were missed in the indexing process or the year was wrong, with no luck. I have checked the Alton Church records at the United Church Archives and cannot find it there either. The only record I have found is on two separate delayed birth registrations for two of their sons, who were registered in the 1920's, by which time both parents were dead. Sarah Elizabeth's mother was the informant on these registrations and gave that date and place of marriage (but this was ~50 years after the fact, and she was in her 90's at the time). Anyone have any ideas where else to look? James EASSON was from Scotland (born1850) and had only been in Canada at most 2 years when he married. Sarah Elizabeth was born in Caledon in 1856.

I've done some research on old photos and the oldest studio I have to date is 1884. Photo's were taken long before that and in different mediums. If the photo is mounted on a card with the photographers name on it there is a book available at http://globalgenealogy.com/ by Glen Phillips titled the Ontario Photographers list (1851-1900). Volume 2 covers 1901 to 1925. I have found them in libraries so it's worth checking there. Oher than that http://www.acay.com.au/~gsm/photo-dates.html http://www.ajmorris.com/roots/photo/pg.htm http://genealogy.about.com/od/photos/ all have information which may be usefull to you. I hope this helps. Good luck Jim

Hi Jim I believe the earliest photo's in my collection are a copy of a studio photograph of my grandfather standing beside my great-great-grandfather. There is no date, or photographers name on it, but the original was "mounted" inside a paper frame. My grandfather was born in 1858 and appears to be about 8 years old in the photo. His grandfather died in 1869, so I have dated this photo to about 1866 and yes, it would have been taken somewhere in the area around Claremont, Stouffville, or Toronto, Ontario. The original is in my great-grandparents photograph album. I also have a studio photograph of my grandmother age 2 with her brother age 10. Grandmother was born in 1866, in the Willowdale area of Toronto. Perhaps someone else will know who had photography studios in these areas at that time. I hope this helps you and good luck in your research. Kind regards Elizabeth

To all deciphering the 1911 census records:- We were very pleased when the 1911 to 2001 records were released last June 28, 2005 -- but then it was when our genealogical work began, transcribing these so ancestors could be found now and in future years. I will admit the writing is not always the best, very difficult to read -- often a check with the 1901 records is necessary. Here are some points I have found: 1. Many transcribers are claiming pages when there might be only 17 lines to the page. [We do not know if the person is coming back] There are 50 lines per page, not 17. If 17 lines are there, on the 18th delete the FAMILY NAME and HOUSE NUMBER -- then click on SUBMIT until you reach 51. This is when you Claim the Page. It will show 50 lines. Hopefully any who committeed this little deed, will go back and finish off the blank lines as above -- there are MANY. 2. Only the one who has Claimed Page is able to access data. 3. If unsure of your work, leave the page at 50 lines but DO NOT Claim Page -- I have checked many and fixed errors. 4. In my own PEEL COUNTY, many have claimed the page after transcribing ONE name, others pick out sections for their usage. It is alright to transcribe one or more lines, but do NOT claim the page -- others will finish it for you. Let's keep above bits in mind, we may have to check 1901 census, but remember, there are proofreaders after we are through. A group of us have been working together in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia and it is fantastic what an extra pair of eyes can see!! Please finish all pages to 50 lines even though they are blank.

John White Sr., was born in 1804. It is my estimate that the male in the photo is approx. 45-55 years old. If it is John White Sr., it would have to have been taken in the 1849-1859 time frame. There is NO reference to the photographer, his studio, or the time frame of the photo (this part was trimmed off, to put it in a frame). It appears to have been taken in a studio. It is unlikely it would have been taken by a member of the White family. Relative to this photo, I have several questions: 1) Were photos being taken of family portraits in the 1850's time frame ( I noticed a photo of Lincoln, in 1863, in today's local newspaper) ? 2) Were there any photographer's studios in the Albion/Mono area cir 1850-1860 ? 3) George White, John's oldest son, was married at St. James, in Toronto, on March 12, 1851. This is probably one of the very few times that John White Sr. may have been in Toronto/York, as it was probably a good 2 days trip, by horse/ carriage. Thus it is possible it could have been taken in Toronto/York, in 1851. John White Sr. would have been 47 in 1851, and fits in with the approx age of the male in the photo. Were pictures taken in Toronto/York , in 1851 ? 4) My grand father, John White Jr, was married in 1868. I have been unable to confirm the exact location, although the date was confirmed in a family bible. John White Sr., would have been 64, in 1868. Although the male in the picture does not appear to be 64, it may be possible, and, the date of 1868, may be more likely than 1851, for a photo like this to have been taken ? If this is the case, perhaps my grand parents were also married in Toronto/York, rather than Albion/Mono ? 5) What is the oldest date anyone has of a family picture/portrait ? In the Albion area ? In the Toronto/York area ? Is it likely a photo would have been taken between 1851-1868, in either Albion, or Toronto ? The oldest I have, is 1890, taken in a photo studio on Queen St., in Toronto, of my maternal grand father. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions on the above, as this is probably the only possible photo of my great grand parents, John and Mary Ann White. Regards Jim White Naples, Florida

Halton Peel Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society is holding its next general meeting on Sunday, January 22nd, 2006. Our speaker is Fraser Dunford, his topic is entitled, The Municipal Goldmine: Municipal records in Ontario. We meet at the Chinguacousy Branch Library, 150 Central Park Drive, Brampton, Ontario at 2:00. Visitors are very welcome to attend.

To all:- Remember our excitement last June 28, 2005 when the census records from 1911 to 2001 were released - at 92-year intervals. That was the date CENSUS RECORDS stopped being political and started being GENEALOGY - our records of the past. I have been transcribing a great deal in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia and tried to get a message to people who might be subscribed to that list -- my memo was returned. I know many of the surnames (more than in Queens County) and one needs to know these as we try to decipher calligraphic or cramped writing -- I prefer the first even if it has extra embellishments! The last page I have finished this evening is the following: http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test2.jsp?sdid=2476 My message the other evening concerned Line 10 with many INMATES -- some old, some children and these could be missing people of your genealogy and family history. Should anyone be able to assist me to replace the ?? with letters, I would be appreciative -- only the one who has claimed the page may work on it - a security device against scammers. We are able to LINK to the 1901 census, which I have yet to do. Many more pages are needing YOUR assistance http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html One has to use email address as userid plus a password, and I would recommend a page not be claimed until 50 lines are done -- many have claimed unfinished pages with 1 to 4 lines. As soon as the page is claimed the information goes directly to Library and Archives Canada and the site is Canada-wide. It is an easy way to locate someone (providing the pages are transcribed) then one may search the Ontario GenWeb, the images or view the microfiche at a library. Let's finish the transcribing before estimated time of August, 2006. Many thanks to two working partners, Jenny from Texas! and Marlene Kasstan -- they often see what I miss! We are hoping Shelburne and Queens will be next 100% list. Hopefully someone will pass this message on to the CAN-NS-SHELBURNE-L@rootsweb.com mail list. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, ON -- formerly Queens County, Nova Scotia

http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test9.jsp?id=136258 I have just finished transcribing the above BRAMPTON 1911 Census page -- Page 6 and feel there are several errors made by the enumerator. Generally there is only one HEAD to a family -- the enumerator marked an X but kept on going -- including another family in the same House Number. How many remember when the present Four Corners Branch of the Library was in the next door Carnegie building? The favorite librarian was Josie Fingland and she is listed on the above page, Line 43, Family 68. It was always a pleasure to take out books from Josie -- and if one was ill, she knew the perfect books to send home. Memories!! If pages are claimed -- I hope these are soon finished or let me know -- I will complete Brampton. If any errors are found, please contact me personally as I do not know all the old Brampton surnames. Muriel M. Davidson -- List Admin Brampton, ON

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there is anyone on the list who is familiar with the LDS Library on Bramalea Road. It is 5 minutes up the road from me but, I hate to admit it, I have never been up there in all the years I have been playing this tree climbing game. Just wondering if you can give me any pointers i.e. How is the staff etc.? Is there any day or time that is better to visit? Is it easy to order films? Anything else it might be nice to know? I hate going into a new place blind. ;-) Thanks! Katie

To all -- I became curious after finishing three pages of 50 lines in my native Nova Scotia so checked percentages -- for fun! Simcoe East ........ 77.37% Simcoe North ..... 39.54 % Simcoe South ..... 67.59 % Carleton ............. 43.43% Peel .................... 88.34% Please do not CLAIM PAGE when only several lines are finished unless YOU plan to go back to finish the pages. All pages are 50 lines -- even if many are blank. Should one end at Line 24, delete the House Number and Surname, then keep hitting SUBMIT until Line 51 shows -- then Claim Page. Reason:- Only the one whose name is beside page is able to open it and make corrections -- there are many needed corrections on the Peel County pages. I would do all of these, but cannot open the page to Edit. It is much easier if you review the same area on the 1901 census to familiarize yourself with surnames -- also my trusty magnifying glass really helps. Did you know IF one leaves out lines, the next high number is highlighted YELLOW. Any help needed? Please ask -- and as I am list administrator of these three mail lists, information may be shared on lists. Muriel - List Admin - SIMCOE, CARLETON & PEEL Lists Brampton, Peel County

To all who know the history of Brampton:- http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test2.jsp?sdid=8693 The above includes several lines of the Brampton Automated Genealogy census listing -- reading the names, after reading the history books, makes Main Street come alive!! I know the enumerator spelled Bettridge with only one "t", but that is how we must type it. Beatty, Thompson, Fenton, Pringle and many others are all old names and have been incorporated into today's Brampton. I am requesting anyone who has a better knowledge of Brampton than I do to use Split-View and check my work -- we might be able to get rid of several "????".[ I use these to make proofreaders take note than I was unsure]. Believe me -- one of the best bits of equipment to transcribe this old form of writing is a hand-held magnifying glass. At the same time, post to the list the names of the places, page number, plus line and family numbers for any area of Peel County. Let's work on this together, please. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca List Admin -- CAN-ONT-PEEL mail list Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee

To all who have been transcribing Peel County:- As I am a resident of Peel County and also would like all pages to be complete with 50 lines, I would suggest all transcribers check all pages -- many need finishing and could have LESS notes. Regardless of whether we THINK or KNOW data is incorrect, we cannot correct it -- nor should we dot each page with too many notes. I happened upon a duplicate page the other evening, transcribed it without a note -- could we try doing this? Many pages do not have the 50 lines -- if only 20 are given in the census, YOU erase the Family Name and House Number, then keep clicking on SUBMIT until you reach 51, then CLAIM PAGE. [I do not believe in Claiming the Page until 50 lines are completed] Some problem pages are the following:- http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test3.jsp?did=109 District 14, Caledon, Page 6 -- only 21 lines District 3, Albion, Page 12 District 15, Caledon, Pages 2 and 3 District 19, Chinguacousy, Page 12 -- not 50 lines District 21, Line 11 should be deleted -- test line Would Delamary Barker Wilkinson please contact me, many changes to be made before proofreaders see our work. Remember, only the one who has signed or claimed the page can finish it -- one page was claimed with ONE line. I am presently working in my former home area in Nova Scotia and with a working partner in Texas -- I live in Peel County and would like our work to be as complete as possible. Also if someone is buried somewhere, please post this to the list and give year of census records. At least Peel County people have been trying -- others have not. Ask me for any help -- see Nova Scotia and Shelburne and Queens Counties. Enough griping -- but we must complete the pages with 50 lines, please. Muriel M.

To all:- It is nice to start off the New Year 2006 and let everyone know which families we are researching - also our brick walls. However, I have been deleting hundreds of Roll Call memos since yesterday and certainly would not desire this on any of the lists I administer. Sincerely hope no subscriber will start this venture -- an occasional memo is great, keeps us thinking! Memos about YOUR family names being researched, asking for help if necessary, are very welcome at any time -- but not in a block period of time. Sincerely hope all understand. I also have CAN-ONT-OBITS and CANADA-OBITS lists, and very often these might be the best source of information. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca List Administrator of a FEW lists
