Hi Bernice I think the area around Toronto especialy the south west was very popular with Hawkesbury folk I have traced a number of STINCHCOMBE's there but one early family predates the 1841 census of England so is a bit difficult, there must have been a shipping company that "dropped off" close by was this farming country or industrial? And as for them WATTS'es they get every where. regards Robert Visit my web pages at http://www.hawkesburyhistory.co.uk ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Ostrander" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 3:43 PM Subject: [HWK] Re: Charles BLEAKEN > There was a BLEAKEN family came to Canada with my ggrandfather,Thomas Amos > WATTS, who settled in Toronto.
