Yes, I understand fully, as I am presently checking the Canadian census films on-line for a namesake for Carleton County ( Ottawa Area) - about 90% in the townships - as they are called, are Irish of both religious persuasions. The enumerator who did the return for Fitzroy Township (the focus of my search) had not only fine readable script, but thanks to him I found the county of search person, as he wrote more than the bare answer to the column of "Place of Birth". Other enumerators in adjacent townships just wrote "Ireland", or U.C or L.C (Upper and Lower Canada), as it was still known in that year of 185.1 Considering the lots of land (100 acres, yes complete at the time with scrub land and woods) Accommodation was 'Shanty' ( from the Irish: Sean Tighe: old house); or Log Cabin ; or frame House. Life for those pioneers must have been tougher than we can imagine. The very large percentage of Irish settlers tended to make me think that there must have been some scheme organised there with the governments, and in Ireland by the land-owners to get rid of the poor crofters and cabin renters who were in perpetual arrears of rent ( the majority, as we all know ). An official question in another column asked if absent from the homestead, where a person was. The answer in many cases was "Up the Ottawa" or Up the Ganaraska" later, due to a note an enumerator had added, he explained that this meant they were up river 'Lumbering' in the woods for the export trade. Which many farmers did until the spring ploughing time came - which would be early May in Southern Ontario. So lumbering was done at this time March 31st period for the Quebec and Ontario export trade. Many of the Irish ships who bought passengers out to Quebec, came back to Ireland with lumber felled and cut by other Irish emigrants! Then there were other enumerators who loved to hand write using very 'flowery; style, replete with curlicues (sp?) which style of hand-writing made it, in many instances, impossible to interpret the names or trades. Here is an unusual entry for a native family : " Indian, Squaw ; [Children]: Indian No.1; Indian No.2; Indian No.3 ; [ditto for 4 &5] " The above goes to show that they weren't important then, and from recent Indian happenings in Ontario, and Quebec, they aren't important now - shame, isn't it? It reminded me of the sad history of Ireland, and of how we Irish were treated by the Sassenach invaders! www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-500-e.html > -----Original Message----- > From: padraigogealagain@rogers.com > To: irl-clare@rootsweb.com > Sent: Sat, 9 Sep 2006 6:05 PM > Subject: Re: [IRL-CLARE] l866 Index > > You mean Scariff - don't you?
