Hezekiah and Mary Ann Beatty got married in 1885. She was 19 which would have only made her 14/15 when she had Tracey. Hezekiah died 10 Feb 1921 of diabetes, b 31 May 1860 in Ontario. He was merchant in general store. Hezekiah and family are well covered in Ancestry.ca. [except for Tracey] If you want the full marriage/death registrations let me know through this site. Hezekiah is widow in 1911 census. No sign of Tracey near by. Is there a chance you could get Mary Gilbert's obituary? It may list Tracey on it. I cannot find a death registration for her. Cannot find a thing on Tracey/Thomas after 1901 census. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Yes. I have all that, but thank you for your interest in my query. My main interest is what happened to Tracy after he joined the Thomas Walker family in 1880/1. Apparently, he was adopted, though not formally, by his great Uncle Thomas Walker, but because I haven't been able to access any census records between 1881 and 1901, I don't know where he was, where he might have gone to school, and so on. After 1901 he went to Manitoba, where he married Blanche Martin in 1905 and they had two children, Marjory (my mother) and Lawrence. After that they went to Wetaskiwin AB and had three more children, Blanche, Mel and Thelma. He, his wife and son Lawrence died within a few days of each other in December, 1918 of Spanish flu. I am particularly interested in the blank period between 1881 and 1901, because no details of his illegitemate birth and subsequent early life with the Thomas Walker family have come down to us, his decendents. There may be surviving Gilbert decendents who have some knowledge of it, but if so, I have yet to find them. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <CAN-ONT-SIMCOE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 09, 2007 6:50 PM Subject: Re: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Census data 1881-1901 > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: satch42179 > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.canada.ontario.simcoe/2574.2/m b.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Hezekiah Walker and wife Mary A M are living in Mulmur on 1901 census [www.automatedgenealogy.com] with children, Garfield, 16, Lois 5 and Cecil 3. > > Hezekiah and Mary Ann Beatty got married in 1885.

Further information could be available at the Dufferin county museum and archives. They have a site. Direct your query to Steve. Mulmur was originally in Simcoe county until c1881 when it became part of Dufferin County, which was a new county formed of adjacent townships. When researching in Ontario, stick to the township as some townships are found in differing areas over the years, but usually retain their township status. Certainly in the time period that interests us. I am really incensed by the current renaming of townships to such meaningless terms as Clearview. Perhaps someone cleaned their glasses there. Best of luck. Joan Tracy <tracwalk@shaw.ca> wrote: Yes. I have all that, but thank you for your interest in my query.
