Hello Again Listers, I must apologize for making an error in regard to my GGrandmother's name - I should have stated Elizabeth Dunn and not her sister, Catherine. Hope someone has further details and that there are some descendants out there that I may connect with. Many thanks, Patricia Johnson Bailey -----Original Message----- From: Patricia A. M. Johnson [mailto:patrace@telus.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2010 6:57 PM To: Can-Ont-Simcoe-Request Cc: John Roberts Subject: FW: Labor Day Hello Listers, Just received more information from my cousin John in New York, which I have forwarded to the "List", Does anyone have further information for my GGrandmother Catherine Dunn who married my GGrandfather William Milton Bailey in Orillia in regard to 1851 and 1861 Census? She and William left Orillia after 3rd son was born in early 1870s, for Selkirk, Manitoba, and I believe she will be buried with William in this area. Many thanks. Patricia Johnson Bailey Patricia, I noticed that someone - not identified by name - has done research on Catherine Dunn and posted to the Ancestral file and IGI. He/She has the parents as: Thomas Dunn, b. 1802 Fifeshire Scotland, d. 3 August 1886 Orillia - m. 20 December 1838 - Margaret Jane Jamieson, b.. 1820 Medonte Simcoe, d. 18 June 1901 Orillia. Elizabeth Dunn is not listed among the children - but there is a space for her in 1845. As Elizabeth did not marry before 1867 you might find the family in the 1851 & 1861 census for Medonte/Orillia. All the Dunns are buried at St. James - but no match from the headstone file. John

One last entry resulting from my rooting about World War II records relevant to Penetanguishene (and area) and then I'll be quiet! As you know, my focus has been the Penetanguishene references, but on some of the same pages I bumped into some other locals, so thought I'd pass them along to you in case you see anyone of interest. From The Globe and Mail January 9 1945 - killed in action - Pte. Charles Edward WILLIAMS, next of kin Mrs. Rebecca WILLIAMS, Waubaushene. From the Globe and Mail January 22 1945, died of wounds, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Pte. John Albert BELFRY, next of kin Mrs. Ruth G. BELFRY, wife, Victoria Harbor (by the way - Pte. BELFRY's grand-nephew is my nephew and is currently a member of the Royal Canadian Regiment based in Petawawa Ontario). Globe and Mail November 2 1943 - Tr. Robert Laurie McCONNELL, wounded overseas. Mrs. Laura McCONNELL, mother, Port McNicoll, Ontario. Globe and Mail July 1 1944 E.M. CEASAR of Coldwater was one of the navigators to graduate at Malton RCAF Training Station. From the Hamilton Spectator November 19 1945, Cpl. J.E. CLEARY of Midland, Pte. M. DUBBIN of Port McNicoll and Cpl. G.B. FORTIER of Victoria Harbour were among many RHLI members returning to Canada. Globe and Mail May 15 1945, Rfmn. Stewart Raikes BALD was injured, but is remaining on duty; next of kin John Witherspoon BALD, father of Midland. And lastly - from the Globe and Mail October 18 1943, D.A. DANBY of Coldwater graduated at Brockville Center as an officer cadet. Hope you're all having a wonderful long weekend. Deborah Crawford

Marg, Thank you, thank you!!!!! This has just proved the connection to my family that I was fairly certain existed, but hadn't been able to prove!! This makes him the brother of my ggrandfather, same parents names. I can now state that he was born Manchester, Lancashire, England, son of Edward McARDELL and Anne Mary STANLEY and that Jane Taylor was his second wife. Now if I can just find where I saved the census info. I had followed my Joseph from 1841 England, 1851 England, couldn't find him 1861, but found this one in Canada in 1861, then mine was back in England in 1871 (his father died August 29, 1871), then this one was in Canada in 1881 and Minnesota in 1885, right after my ggrandfather had immigrated in May 1884 to Minnesota with his family, and family lore had it that my ggrandfather knew someone here, that was why they came here. I had also found the name and address of one of the descendants of this couple in my grandfather's address book from the 1940s, years after his McARDELL wife had died (1917) and he had remarried. I have been researching this family for years because I was so sure there was a connection! I love it when my gut feelings come to fruition! I started on the family again yesterday because I was contacted by the friend of a descendant of the family who was helping her work on her family tree. What a wonderful thing for both of us, and for the other descendants of this couple who I have talked to over the years and can now tell them for sure that we are related. Thank you, thank you, Annie in Minnesota p.s. What is the URL for that pilot page, please. In a message dated 9/5/2010 1:50:02 A.M.

Thanks to those who replied to my latest post that mentioned Capt. Burke. Most interesting. Today's feature is from The Globe and Mail, March 28 1942. Headline: Sees Invasion Possible Here. Complacency is Rapped by Speaker at Midland. Midland - March 27; "The threat of invasion hangs over Canada and yet the majority of the people of the Dominion are still complacently "carrying on as usual" C.Q.M.S. James Mackie of "D" Company of the Grey and Simcoe Foresters, district recruiting officer, told a meeting of Midland Lions Club here tonight. After congratulating the service club on their war effort, the speaker requested them to redouble their effortos, particularly in the recruiting for the Reserve Army. "Today the Atlantic is no longer a barrier between us and the enemy. Canada is within range of enemy air bombers and sea power and there is definite possibility of attempted invasion. I say wake up, Canada - it can happen here," he warned. "What do the men of Midland know about handling guns? What would we do in case of a gas attack by air? What do we know about air-raid precaution work?" he asked. The speaker deplored the fact that early enthusiasm to aid the war effort had died, citing the case of the Midland Home Guard which was 300 strong shortly after the outbreak of hostilities, and has since disbanded. The new Reserve Army now being formed is vitally needed for the defense of Canada. Every available man physically able who is ineligible for active service should join it, the speaker declared." I wonder who many men in the audience were then inspired to join the reserves? More food for thought..... Stay warm and dry folks. What a wild'n windy day!

It would appear from various Census that Robert Bailey and Ann Linton came to Canada prior to birth of their son William who was born about 1840 in Ontario. Cheers!

Could I please have Georgiana Webster's email address so I can contact her off list. I am rsearching my Bailey Genealogy which begins with Sgt. Robert Bailey of the 16th Lancers (who was in charge of the 16th Lancers quelling the Rebellion of Upper Canada in 1837) and his wife Anne Linton, both from County Down, Ireland. His Grandson, Robert Milton Bailey, my Grandfather, born in Orillia, Ontario, 1869, was in the Force that put Louis Riel down at Batoche, Manitoba, in 1885. I am keen to find when my GGGrandparents came to Canada, when they married, who their ancestors were and what the connection is between Orillia and the River River Settlement. My Dad, Robert Linton Bailey, and siblings talked a lot about Orillia, Red River Valley, Rainey River, Smooth Rock Falls. He was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba in 1901. Father Robert Milton Bailey.
