Hi Rhoda: I have been trying to see if I could find Jane's parents names but have found anything yet. Are you aware that they (Thomas, Jane, etc. Ireton) are buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Owen Sound? This cemetery is on-line at http://city.owen-sound.on.ca/cemetery/index.cfm with an e-mail contact address. Maybe you could try sending them a message to see if they have more information in their records. Regards, Lynne Kemp. P.S. I did find a Margaret Lee married to a George Ireton. Since in so many families there were often marriages of 2 sisters to 2 brothers or cousins, I wonder if this Margaret could be a sister to Jane. Her parents were Robert Lee and Isa(bella) McAuley and on the 1851 census there is a daughter, Jane (of the right age as yours), with them in Grey County (Holland Township). Maybe you could check the 1861 Grey County census to see if Jane is still living with the family. Margaret Lee Ireton and her husband were married in Grey County (Flesherton) in 1868 and her residence was given as Artemesia Township. The transcription gives her parents as Robert Lee and Isa McNally but I am pretty sure it is the same person as the one on the 1851 census. Since they all end up in Grey County eventually, I wonder if there is a connection. > Message: 2> Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2008 00:41:48 -0000> From: "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com>> Subject: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Presbyteriand Church, Bradford, Gwillimbury> twp.> To: <CAN-ONT-SIMCOE-L@rootsweb.com>> Message-ID: <1199407308.316366@rootsweb.com>> Content-Type: text/plain;> > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.> > Author: eandrcook> Surnames: Ireton, Lee> Classification: queries> > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.canada.ontario.simcoe/2580/mb.ashx> > Message Board Post:> > I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. > > Thomas Ireton b. 1834 Ireland and Jane Lee b. 1836 Ontario were married in Bradford on 12 July 1859.
