Hi Richard Try the Simcoe County OGS website. Unfortunately this was all for the Derhams, but that could be due to spelling variations. Derham Mary Anne ---- ---- 1891 Simcoe Cty Probate Records Index Index J43 Derham Patrick ---- ---- 1891 Simcoe Cty Probate Records Index Index J24 http://www.simcoebogs.com/index.htm Also, the Simcoe County Archives may have some information on the Derhams Heather -----Original Message----- From: can-ont-simcoe-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-ont-simcoe-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Richard Orr Sent: August 14, 2010 10:01 PM To: can-ont-simcoe@rootsweb.com Subject: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Patrick Derham of Tuam, Tecumseth Twp. Hello, Looking for information on Patrick. (Not birth, death details etc.) Patrick was an entrepreneur, area builder and founder of Tuam. According to a book, Tecumseth Township - The Unforgettable Past, he built at least 4 homes in the area, one of which is listed as being occupied in the late 1800's by my McGinty ancestors. His nickname was "Yankee Derham". I would be interested in finding out more about his general history in the area as well as the homes that he built.
