There have been a number of people on this list looking for Bible Christian relatives. Durham county had a large settlement of Bible Christian followers having emigrated from Devon and Cornwall in the mid 1800s. One of the most common Bible Christian chapels was in Shebbear, Devon. In order to see if a member of your family was christened in Shebbear, the batch number is C051601. Batch numbers for England can be found at: {HYPERLINK "http://geocities.com/Heartland/Trail/8333/iginum.html"}http://geocities.com/Heartland/Trail/8333/iginum.html Next, go into the FamilySearch site and then to IGI. All you have to insert is the region "British Isles" and the batch number C051601. This will bring up ALL of the christenings which took place in Shebbear, Devon. These are listed in alphabetical order and when I tried I saw 1800 records and that only got me up to HOCKIN. It will show up to 5000 records with 200 on each page. Have a try and see what you can find! You can do this for all the parishes that are in the IGI, by looking up the batch numbers at the above site.

Greetings All. Senator Lorna Milne requested us to pass on the message below relating to her efforts in the Senate and the effect of the newly called Federal election on Bill S-15. Happy Hunting.

Permission to forward without notification is granted. ============================== Greetings everyone! As you know by now, Prime Minister Chrétien has called an election for the 27th of November. I want to bring you all up-to-date on the implications of the election on Bill S-15, my Archives of Canada Act (census records). Bill S-15 had been referred for further study to the Senate Standing Committee on Social Affairs, Science and Technology. It has now died, along with that committee, but I intend to re- introduce the same bill as soon as Parliament resumes after the election. I expect that it will move through the Senate much more quickly this next time, as my colleagues will be familiar with the intent of the bill. My real agenda has always been to get the Minister responsible for Statistics Canada, formerly John Manley but now Brian Tobin, to introduce a Government Bill to solve our problem. Several of the key players in this exercise, including myself, the head of 'Stats' Canada, the Privacy Commissioner and the National Archivist worked all summer to hammer out a compromise position for a Government Bill. We had succeeded, and our proposition was placed before Cabinet just prior to the election call. Now, of course, all bets are off since after the election we will be dealing with a new Minister, a new Cabinet and a new Privacy Commissioner. Fortunately, the new Privacy Commissioner has already reluctantly but publicly agreed, in response to my questioning him in the Senate, with the compromise solution that brought the last Privacy Commissioner on side. In the meantime, I urge all of you to take advantage of this election to press all the candidates in your own riding for their stance on the Release of the Historic Census issue. Don't forget that it was the pressure you put on all Parliamentarians that helped me get the issue this far! As you all know, there is strength in numbers and elections are the perfect opportunity to advance a policy objective. As a Liberal Senator I will, of course, be out campaigning for the Liberal Party. I certainly do not want to lose the advantage I now hold that has enabled me to gain the full co-operation of a Cabinet Minister and to bring our issue directly to the attention of the Cabinet. Sincerely, Senator Lorna Milne

Hi group, I am trying to find the parents and/or siblings of my g,g, grandparents. Their names are JONATHAN BRYANS, born 1831, probably in Ireland. He married ELLEN HOWDEN, born 1834. They lived in Hope Township before and after their marraige and their children were born there. I wonder if anyone might have some census material at hand for this area who might look up either of these folks for me. Boy, if I could find their parents names I would be one happy camper! Thanks, Lynda in Minnesota

This web site is a first attempt at making my family history available to as many people as possible who are looking for ancestors in the above areas in hopes of sharing additional information. These are my ancestors, descendants and related families. Due to limitations of the program I used to create the site and my inexperience, there are about 800 more individuals connected to these families in my data base that are not on the site.

>> Forwarded for Gordon A. Watts <gordon_watts@telus.net> <<<< Greetings All As expected, this morning's news announced that Prime Minister Jean Chretien has taken steps to dissolve the current Government and called a Federal Election for 27 November 2000. This means that all pending Bills, including those dealing with public access to Post 1901 Census Records, i.e. C-312, C-484, and S-15 no longer exist. Essentially, from the point of view of those that have been working diligently to obtain this access, when the new Government is formed it will be a new ball game. It is hoped that this will not mean that we must start entirely from scratch again, but there will be new players that need to be convinced. We need not wait until after the election to start that process. It is not my intention to tell anyone who they should vote for - that is between the individual and their conscience. I would however, advise all who are concerned to become involved, even if only in a small way. Candidates for election, or re-election will be holding meetings in their ridings, and there may be all-candidate meetings as well. Check the MP's Scoreboard at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census to see how the incumbents have responded to, or failed to respond to, questions seeking their position on access to Historic Census. Attend the candidate's meetings and publicly ask them their position on allowing public access to Historic Census Records, i.e. 92 years after collection as per regulations attached to the Privacy Act. If unable to attend the meetings visit their office to ask them privately. I think it unlikely that anyone will vote for or against any candidate because of the answer given on this one question, but it may play a part in your decision. Feel free to post your candidate's response to this question on the Canada Census Campaign mail list at Canada-Census-Campaign-L@rootsweb.com . We look forward to seeing them. Happy Hunting.

Is anyone researching the name TRULL of Durham County. Just recently, I have commenced researching the name AYRE. Alfred Ayre, s/o John Ayre and Jane Aylesworth, born Mar 30, 1886 in Bowmanville. Alfred Ayre married Mary TRULL, d/o John H. TRULL and Phoebe Clarke, at Darlington, on Jun 1, 1910 I have information on the AYRE family, but would now like to trace the TRULL family. From what I understand they were UEL and John W. Trull and his wife, Dr. Lydia Casey, married in the Mohawke Valley, NY and came to Canada on or about 1773, settling Barbers Creek, Darlington Twp. Any further information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Kathy Witheridge Sarnia, Ontario, Canada

Hi Karen; Although there are quite a few DEAN marriages in the Durham County Marriage Index 1858-1869, there is no William DEAN. It would appear that the marriage took place in another county or after 1869. You will note that these registers only go up to 1869 when registration began in Ontario. You can search the Ontario Marriage Index at any Family History Centre. You should be able to find what you require there. > Kind regards Kathy Witheridge Sarnia, Ontario, Canada

Does anyone have access to the marriage book for Durham County, please? I am looking for the marriage of William Dean to Lavinia something-or-other before 1871. They are shown in that census as married - William is 32, Lavinia is 27, and a child is 4, so imagine they were married about 1866 or so. This would likely be in Darlington Twp. Thanks for any help. Karen

>> Forwarded for Gordon A. Watts <gordon_watts@telus.net> << Greetings All. This morning I received an email from the Access to Information and Privacy Officer of Statistics Canada giving me advance notice that the Official response to my ATI Request for the Report of the Expert Panel on Access to Historic Census Records was to be mailed today. The response is that my ATI Request is being refused on the basis that John Manley "intends to make the Expert Panel's report available to the public as soon as possible. It will be posted on the Statistics Canada web site; paper copies will also be made available on request." In view of the rumoured Cabinet shuffle, and imminent federal election it remains to be seen if Mr. Manley will be around to make that Report available to the public. Under ATI a request may be refused if the information requested is expected to be published within 90 days after the request is made. That means that we could still wait up to 18 December for the report. If my original ATI request to Industry Canada had been forwarded to Statistics Canada as per the ATI Act, instead of being refused, that 90 day period would expire on 21 November. I have submitted a complaint on the original refusal to the Information Commissioner. While the refusal to submit the Report of the Expert Panel as per my request was not entirely unexpected, on the grounds stated, it was nevertheless disappointing. We hope that the Report will be posted to the Statcan website soon. This afternoon I sent an email to Prime Minister Chretien requesting that he take steps to see the immediate steps to see the Report of the Expert Panel released to the Public. Time will tell.
