Hi there! Just want to get everyone keen again about online family history research. I just connected today with a family member from one of my great grandfather's brothers!! i cant wait too see what info she can share with me!! In case any newcomers are listening in...(hope you are) my g g grandfather was William Charles Ferris of N Ireland, settled in Ontario, and had 10 kids. He came to canada from northern ireland in 1865 "as a young man" (i figured by this and by census returns indictaing age that he was born c1848) He married (unknown where or when, prob in Simcoe county - he and wife and first child were there in 1871 census) Caroline May Louis [although I think now her last name was spelled Lewis] - she was born 1847 oct i thnk i have the day here too....and place.... They had 10 children that i have of record, but I have found 2 more on census returns not in my grandma's notes. they had Robert, george, charles, lige (Elijah),Henry, Arthur, Frank, John, Bella and Walter. Bella married Thomas Dickie. WCF died in 1923, mother Ferris in 1925 both buried in Fariholme cemetery. Arthur farmed until 1965, then sold and moved to foley twnshp where his brother Henry lived. Elijahs family were named Arthur, Clark,hazel(twins) Clifford, Robert,and alice. Some of this info has come from a book called "Along Memory Lane with Hagerman people"volume 3 printed 1982. John is my g grandfather. Jennifer Flegg
