Glad you enjoyed the history, Paul. Here's another little tidbit of trivia: in 1918 when the Spanish Flu raged through the country and the town, the local Methodist church was converted into a hospital. Can you just imagine some staunch Catholic receiving the last rites of the RC church within the walls of a "non-Catholic" church? A church he was forbidden to enter without erring so seriously his soul was destined for hell should he die before he could confess his sin. Mmm.........I wonder what St. Peter had to say about that?

Pam Tessier ... Bless You, and All of your Descendants !!!!!!!! Altho, not of the Faith, I am truly enjoying your Histories, and EXPLANATIONS of the various Dioceses, and Missions. It breathes new life into so much of what we often accept as ' laissez faire " . One passage, however, caught my attention.. That is the use of the ORANGE LODGE by Members of the Catholic Faith. I commend them for their resilience . but wasn't that considered as something like ' sleeping with the Devil ' ?????? ( At least, at that time ???? ). Thank Goodness that we have moved beyond that era of thinking . Thanks for the Input ... We are never too old to keep learning.

Georgina and all, A few years ago, David Dupuis wrote a history of St. Ann's Church in Penetanguishene - "St. Anne's of Penetanguishene, Huronia's First Mission". It is available for sale at the Museum and the Reading Room on Main Street. Much of the following information can be found easily in the records at the Genealogy and History Research Centre in the first pages of each church register transcription. My sincere thanks to Denise Ladouceur who extensively researched the history of the churches and their priests. It is fascinating reading and you can't help but admire the courage and determination of these early priests and their parishioners. So here is your history lesson for the day: The church you refer to on Champlain Road at the top of the hill, on the bend, was originally called St. David's. It was constructed in 1938 and opened in December of that year. It was a one storey structure from 1949 until 1962 when a top floor was built. At this time the name was changed to Our Lady of the Rosary. It was and, I believe still is, a mission church of St. Ann's. Records for sacramental events would have been kept in the St. Ann's register, if there were any performed there. You can call the rectory and verify this as our copy of the register ends in 1910 before the mission was established. In the years prior to 1835 when St. Ann's (as it is now called) was established with its own missionary priest, services were held in local homes and sacramental events were performed by visiting priest or bishops from 1831 to September of 1835. Those records are NOT in the parish register. If anyone says their ancestor was baptised here or they have an exact date of birth in Penetanguishene for any time prior to 1835, ask for documented proof. The first dated entry is a baptism on October 27, 1835 by Fr. Jean Baptiste Proulx. He was a busy guy - baptising as many as 125 children and adults in one day. He served the First Nations population from Sault Ste. Marie to Beausoleil Island (300 miles) in addition to his charge of Manitoulin Island. You will find many First Nations entries in the registers and in fact the first marriage recorded was performed for two First Nations residents of Christian Island. After 1861 you will find few entries for Christian Island as it had its own mission from that date onward. The priest from St. Ann's covered a wide territory so you will find entries of events that took place in Barrie, Washago, Waubaushene, Port Severn, Wyevale, Baxter, Muskoka, Sunnidale, Orillia, Midland, Nottawasaga, Owen Sound and Collingwood. I've probably missed some places. In 1850 a mission, administered by St. Ann's, was established in Ste-Croix, now Lafontaine. The first register entry appears in 1856. Now it gets a bit confusing. From October 10, 1857 to October 1, 1861 entries were recorded in the St. Ann's register. You will find duplicate entries in the registers. The first church was built in 1856 on land in front of the present day structure on the original cemetery grounds. In 1877 the present day church was built. We have a habit of moving cemeteries in this area! The priest at Ste-Croix was responsible for the establishment of St. Patrick's in Perkinsfield or, as it is referred to in many records, St-Patrice. St. Patrick's was a mission of St. Ann's and Ste-Croix in Lafontaine, in that order, in the early days. In 1870 a chapel was built called "La Chapelle" and a cemetery was established. The present building was erected in 1884. In 1909 it was detached from Ste-Croix when the first resident priest arrived. The registers begin January 9, 1909. St. Margaret's of Midland has its early history recorded in the registers of St. Ann's also. The Orange Hall in Midland was the scene of early events from 1879 until the church was built in 1881. Prior to it's detachment from the mission of St. Ann's in 1883, records will be found in the Penetang registers. St. John the Evangelist of Waubaushene and St. Mary's of Victoria Harbour were included in the St. Margaret's mission. St. John's detached in 1906 and St. Mary's in 1919. St. Margaret's register begins in November 1883. Some trivia for you: St. Ann is the patron saint of voyageurs. The church's correct name is the Jesuit Memorial Church of St. Ann Ste-Anne en Francais and St. Ann in English. The first community vault in Penetang for the storing of caskets during the winter months was built in 1941. If you think the dates in burial records in this area correspond to the actual date the body was interred, think again of the weather in the winter months. With pick and shovel they dug through 3 feet of snow and into frozen ground to bury the dead? I remember my shock when I arrived here from the Sun Parlour of Canada to discover they kept bodies in storage all winter. And now I have to go and do something else.................

There is a little place called CORBETTON in Dufferin County, 13 km northwest of Shelburne, on the CPR. It was formerly called CHEDWORTH in 1881. But was soon renamed CORBETTON for James Corbett (d.1902) who had earlier built a tavern on the nearby road connecting Shelburne to Owen Sound. The Corbett name is found in the Dundalk area and Creemore too. More information may be available at the Dufferin County Museum and Archives.

Hi There is a St Patrick's church in Perkinsfield There is another one at the bottom of the hill across the bay from Penetang, on Champlain Rd My speculation is that the one in Perkinsfield is the one on the marriage registrations for Simcoe County and registrations from the one at the bottom of the hill would be entered through Ste Anne's Penetanguishene Can anyone confirm or correct me. I am trying to be as accurate as I can. (I wish the English speaking people were not the record takers) Georgina Dean

About 1855 John Buyers and Jean McCready and at least three of their children William,John and James left Glenluce,Old Luce Parish,Wigtownshire,Scotland and settled in Essa Twp. They were all there in the 1861 Census: John Snr.and Jean with I assume three of their grandchildren William,Matthew and Frances. John Jnr.and his wife Mary McKerlie with their children James,Jane and Robert. William with his wife Charlotte Drurie. James with his wife Mary(Dillan?)They were probably the parents of the grandchildren William,Matthew and Frances. My interest in the above is that Mary McKerlie was the sister of my gt grandmother Agnes McKerlie and I am hoping to contact one of Mary's descendants. I found the following: National Archives for Scotland Old Luce Kirk Session records - "Glenluce 27th.May 1855 Compeared Mary McKerlie from Campbell's Croft and confessed that she had brought forth a child in uncleanness on the 23rd.April last.Being solemnly admonished and exhorted to be ingenuous in naming the father of her child,and interrogated,answered that John Byres,Joiner,late Kirkcowan,now in New York,is the father of it..She was afterwards rebuked for the sin of fornication,absolved from the scandal and restored to church privilages.Closed with prayer. Mary and her baby son James must have joined John Buyers Jnr. in Essa about 1855/56 because they had a daughter Jane born in Essa about 1856.They had at least another four children Robert,Ellen,Mary Anne and John Alex. Mary Anne Buyers married a Samuel Allan Connell in Essa in 1895 and they had a daughter Jessie W.Connell.Mary Anne died in Essa on the 12Feb1901 aged 33. John Alex Buyers married an Amanda Graham in Tossorontio,Simcoe South in 1895.They had at least three children Mary Anne,John Clarence and Ira Lorne.They were all living in Essa Twp in the 1911 Census.John's marriage record helpfully gave his parents as John Buyers and Mary McKerlie. John Buyers Jnr.and Mary McKerlie and most of their children and grandchildren seem to be buried in Alliston Union Cemetery.Jessie W.Connell is buried in Barrie Union Cemetery.

I started researching Boucher in Penetang several years ago, and because of the large number of offspring the French Roman Catholic families had, the branches just keep sprouting. As I was working tonight, and I find a record that someone else has looked up and entered on a sit like OGSPI and Mary Crandall's Vital Stats and Wayne Cook's sites and Heather Bertram's deaths and Pam Tessiers tree and ohhhhhhhhhh so many more, I began to wonder if we thank those people enough and the others who work so hard to ensure Canadian Heritage is preserved. It is so easy to cut and paste but without them we would have to work so much harder. I hope that my info will help someone as well http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=deansden If it does and it saves you a trip to a museum or a research facility please consider a donation to ensure these facilities don't close.

Just an ADD-ON to the name CORBETT ... During the 1940's, and 50's, the brothers DIXIE and RUBE (Reuben ) Corbett operated a Pool Hall, and Smoke Shop on Dunlop Street, East ( then probably Elizabeth Street ) in proximity to the QUEEN'S HOTEL ( WHICH IS STILL THERE. ) They were very kind to the High School Students, most of them under the legal age of 16 ( to be in a Pool Hall ) and allowed them to play during the lunch hour. We kept the place packed, and standing room only. The cost of a game of snooker was an enormous FIFTEEN CENTS, whereas the Pool Hall next door , was a straight CENT A MINUTE ( 60 CENTS AN HOUR ) !!!!!!!! A lot of us learned the game there. Paul Robins Seem to recall that one of them lived on Sunnidale Road, in Barrie. -----Original Message----- From: can-ont-simcoe-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-ont-simcoe-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Chris N Sent: August-10-07 1:03 PM To: can-ont-simcoe@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Samuel Corbett Hi Heather, At the time of his death he was living off Ridge Rd in Oro on the 6th line lot 25/25 but he died in a chair at the doctors office in Barrie.

There should have been a paper trail IMHO, as there was an inquest done regarding his death.
