Hi, Does anyone have a transcription of Thornton Union cemetery? Thanks

Dear Listers, Thanks to those who sent advice and info and especially to Gary who sent the transcription from Block L of the Orillia Cemetery. Obits, Here I come!! Gwen Cunningham

I'd like to add to this, Pam. I recently found a cousins death (1947) after a long, long search. This was on a local site that only recently went online. I called the County Clerks office about his burial, because it had "See note", but that was nowhere online. The woman I spoke to was able to tell me he had died elsewhere and was buried locally but without a headstone. The main reason that fact was known was, the groundskeeper at that time made sure he mades notes of burials. So as with all you've explained, there continues to be more explanations that can be added to your list.

Most cemetery photographic databases are the same: photographs of what is visible. Very often church burial records are not public and cemetery records do not exist. This is especially true in old cemeteries where the records were kept in the head of the caretaker in the years prior to the implementation of provincial regulations. Stones fall over, wood disintegrates, grass grows over the plot, food was more important than a marker on grandma's grave - lots of reasons for there not to be a marker. As a matter of interest, I have worked with the records of many, many families and in most cases the burial records or places have been nigh on impossible to locate. Very often the burial record is not in the church register but is in the death registration. The reverse is also true. One look at the size of a church burial register will tell you that many entries are missing as they are usually the smallest of the church's registers. In a local cemetery here there are at least 900 burials for which there are no entries in the register. And this is a fairly small cemetery! Be assured, they are dead and have been buried - somewhere. Does it really matter where, when you consider our ancestors' final resting places in earlier centuries are unknown? If it is just to know the date of death - well, that is another story about accuracy in death or burial records. Good luck!

Hello Listers, Does anyone have access to the actual burial registers for St/Andrews/St. James Cemetery AKA Orillia Cemetery? I am trying to find the tombstone inscription or burial entry for Charles Laughlin and his wife Florence McArthur. In the Orillia Packet & Times of June 25, 1932, it says that Charles Laughlin's funeral was from his residence and interment was in Orillia Cemetery. I have looked for the tombstone at the online Canadian Photographic Gallery and have not found it. I've looked at the online Ontario Gen Soc cemetery listing and there is no listing for either Charles Laughlin or his wife Florence McArthur. Does anyone have any info about the burial records of these people? Thanks, Gwen Cunningham gwenny@snet.net

Here is their gravestone: http://www.gravemarkers.ca/ontario/centont/simcoe/orillia/standrew/blocka/ba iley5.jpg Based on this marriage record, it looks like they came before 1838. Found this marriage registration for a son on ancestry: Name: John Bailey Age: 23 Birth Place: Orillia Spouse Name: Dunn, Catharine Spouse Age: 20 Spouse Birth Place: Orillia Marriage Date: 7 Mar 1862 Spouse Father Name: Thomas Dunn Spouse Mother Name: Margaret Jamieson Microfilm Roll: 1030064 Father Name: Robert Bailey Mother Name: Ann Linton Spouse residence: Orillia Residence: Orillia County: Simcoe Marriage Place: Orillia St James Church seems to have some information on Robert as a patron in 1841-49 : http://www.stjamesorillia.com/history.html A search of the Simcoe Settlers Database (http://www.simcoebogs.com/database/settlersdata_list.php) shows a Robert Bailey dying in 1885 and Ann (nee Linton) on May 4, 1888. I did a quick look for death registrations but have not found any... A pic of their stone is here: http://www.gravemarkers.ca/ontario/centont/simcoe/orillia/standrew/blockh/ba iley2.jpg, unfortunately nothing on their stone regarding where they were from... There is another Ann Bailey ( don't think this is your Ann though) in the Settlers Database who died May 16, 1887 and this is her death record from: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onvsr/death/deathindex_ba-bd_new.htm: BAILEY, Ann, f, May 16, 1887, 81 years, Belfast Ireland, cause - old age, infm - J.T. Bailey, Orillia (Simcoe Co.) 015847-87 I looked at the Orillia newspaper index for a Bailey obit (or marriage record etc): http://news.ourontario.ca/orillia/search.asp but the only hit I got was J.T Bailey (referenced in the "other" Ann Bailey above) In the 1891 Canadian Census's people were asked for their immigration year and the country of birth for their mother and father. If you have the names of any children before Martha it might be possible to search for this person in the census (or BMD records) to see if any info can be found that can point to where the family came from. Martha noted that both her parents were from Ireland in the 1891 census.. Sorry not much help but maybe the maiden name of Ann may help if you did not know if previously.

Gary ============ Orillia Packet, May 22, 1885, page 3 At Orillia, on Sunday, May 17th, Robert Bailey, aged 79 years. In Robert Bailey we have just lost one of "the town's grey fathers." Though his years were far beyond the usual number, so excellent was his constitutional endowment that he until very lately suffered little from disease. Mr. Bailey, a native of the County Down, in Ireland, came to Orillia in 1830 or '31, when Orillia was a very insignificant Indian trading hamlet and mission, in the midst of a wild forest, and helped to transform it into a noted town of churches, schools, and factories. Our first competent wheelwright and carpenter, he was a man of great ingenuity and intelligence. His neighbourly disposition and good common sense made him widely known and esteemed. Disliking idleness, he used his mechanical tools and appliances almost until his last illness demanded more care and rest. He leaves three generation of descendants. James L. Bailey, now of Cleveland, Ohio, was the only one of his sons present at his obsequies. His widow is a helpless invalid at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr George Vick. Orillia Packet, May 11, 1888, page 3 At the residence of her son-in-law, George Vick, Orillia, on Friday, 4th of May, 1888, Ann, relict of the late Robert Bailey, aged 80 years and 3 days. Another of our old land-marks disappeared with the decease of Mrs. Bailey, and now but four members of the Presbyterian church remain of those who signed the call which inaugurated the ministry of the Rev. Dr. Gray. Mrs Bailey was born at Keat's Bridge, in the County of Down, and accompanied her husband, the late Robert Bailey, to the wild woods of Orillia in 1832, where they made a home and brought up many sons and daughters whose children are now scattered throughout the Dominion. She saw a very small hamlet on the extreme boundary of civilization attain to the dignity of an important town. Neighbourly, obliging, with all the North of Ireland homely wit and shrewdness, she was much liked and widely known. For more than five years before her death she was paralyzed in body and mind and tenderly cared for by her eldest daughter, Mrs. George Vick. Her funeral was large, as befitted the obsequies of one noted for her attendance at the births and deaths of so many citizens. Dr. Gray conducted the services at the house, and Rural Dean Stewart read the Church of England funeral service at Mr. Vick's family plot in the cemetery. ============= Quoting "Patricia A. M.

Looking for information on Elizabeth Warmington, a widow who emigraged from Ireland to first Caledonia, Ontario in 1840 with 6 of her 7 children. She married a man named John Beaty (Batey) and family lore has it that he got so tired of listening to her talk about her deceased first husband that he went out to the barn and hung himself. She was a member of the Presbyterian church in Simcoe and died in 1888 but I have hit a roadblock trying to get a copy of her death certificate. Grace

She saw a very small hamlet on the extreme boundary of civilization attain to the dignity of an important town. Neighbourly, obliging, with all the North of Ireland homely wit and shrewdness, she was much liked and widely known. For more than five years before her death she was paralyzed in body and mind and tenderly cared for by her eldest daughter, Mrs. George Vick. Her funeral was large, as befitted the obsequies of one noted for her attendance at the births and deaths of so many citizens. Dr. Gray conducted the services at the house, and Rural Dean Stewart read the Church of England funeral service at Mr. Vick's family plot in the cemetery. ============= Quoting "Patricia A. M.
