Hi Gillian, Thanks for the information. These baptisms tie in with what I already have, and the death of Charles is certainly very interesting. I had no idea before I noticed the ancestry connection that Charles had left England, and the information you have given me certainly ties in with everything I had known previously about him. A search on the IGI brings up several children of Charles and Mary, the latest being John in 1829. I have never had the need to search anywhere other than England, but a further search of the IGI for Ontario, Canada has a LDS member submitted baptism of a child of Charles PLAXTON and Mary TRAIN in Barrie, Ontario in 1837. My trusty genealogical friend Mapquest has a distance of 139 miles between Simcoe where Charles died and Barrie where his seemingly last child was born. Several thousand miles closer than Charles' own birth in Cottingham, so this seems very feasible. Do you (or does anyone else) know of a database where I could look up the voyage of Charles, Mary and the children to Canada? It seems to have been in the years between the baptisms of John in 1829 and Mary Ann in 1837. If I could prove that it was before 1835 then I would also be certain that Ellen was the daughter of George and Ellen and not the product of an illicit affair between George's wife and his brother......!!!! My feeling is that the vicar or whoever wrote up the notes made a mistake, but I would like to prove this.

Hi Jan, This PLAXTON was also listed but whether he is the son of your Charles I don't know. Maybe wife Mary TRAVIS is a mistranscription???..... Deaths: PLAXTON, George, m, September 15, 1908, 75 years 7 months 8 days, Albion Twp Peel Co, cause - senile decay & entero colitis, s/o Charles Plaxton & Mary Travis, both born Yorkshire England, infm - Chas. W. Plaxton, Barrie (Simcoe Co.) 026390-08 I can't help with the immigration record. I've looked at the ancestry stuff but I can't see anything that fits.

Hi Gillian, Thank you very much for this. I just re-read what you wrote and had to delete my reply! It was the Charles and Mary who were born in Yorkshire, not George!! Yes, he seems very likely to have been one of the children of the Charles PLAXTON from Cottingham, and Mary Train, not Travis, although I've only got the IGI to go on for this. Either way I think it's the right Charles. It doesn't say that George was born in Yorkshire, only his parents, so from this I'm guessing that George was born in Canada, otherwise it would surely have said that he too was born in Yorkshire. Not proof as such, but if he was born in Canada in...ummm early 1833? that means that Charles couldn't be the father of Ellen. I think the mystery of Ellen's parentage is proving to be a mistake by the person who entered it into the register as others have said, and as I think I already guessed myself. Thanks to all who have been kind enough to look up entries and offered help and advice. :-) Regards, Jan > From: mtamas@telus.net> To: eng-east-yorks@rootsweb.com> Date: Sat, 5 Apr 2008 06:42:29 -0700> Subject: Re: [ENG-EAST-YORKS] PLAXTON Cottingham> > Hi Jan,> > > > This PLAXTON was also listed but whether he is the son of your Charles I > don't know.
