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.
