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
