Dear list members, I am unsubscribing until I find more info on my Jones family in Port Perry. I just realize that I posted this with the Heading Cornelius McMahon so IF there were any Jones distant cousins they would not have read this. I am unsubscribing right away but my e0mail is djsk@home.com I posted this info months ago but maybe there are new list members that connect. Margaret died there in Dec 25 1887. Alonzo W. Jones was her husband and he died in 1903. Arwilda May their only child was born May 13, 1869/70 possibly in Picton. Arwilda was the only Grandma my mother ever knew. (Her other Grandma was from Sweden, and then later the US, but she never met her, unable to travel and died before my mom was able to travel there to see her. Arwilda died on my Mom's birthday and she always felt bad about that. I have an 1868 marriage record, and a very old picture from about 1870 of Alonzo her father, no photo known of her mother or of Arwilda when young. I want to thank everyone that tried to help. Have a good summer, sincerely JoyIrene

Hi Steph; Bowmanville Cemetery is huge! It is sectioned A thru Z and you can purchase all of the sections for a total of $41.90 (this was the price in 1999). If you are a member of the Whitby/Oshawa branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, they will do a search for you for a small fee. As you probably have no idea as to which section your relatives are buried, this might be your best and easiest route. Kind regards Kathy Witheridge Sarnia, Ontario, Canada

Hi everyone, Does anyone have the transcriptions for the above cemetery??? I am looking for some I need some dates for some people. ANY help would be great. Thanks Steph

Hi Stephanie; I took a look in the Ontario County Marriage Registers 1858-1869 for Perth County, and found the following: Walter MOORE, 22 of Nissouri, born Canada, s/o William and Ann, married May 24, 1869 to Margetta Sheffer, 18 of Nissouri, born York State, d/o Peter and Adelia There are many MOORE marriages in Perth County, but only this one with parents William and Ann. I am researching the MOORE name, but mine originated in Devon, England, then to Darlington Twp., Durham County and finally to Fullarton, Perth County.

Hi Stephanie; The Ontario County Marriage Registers for Durham County - 1858-1869, shows: William MOORE, 47 of Cavan, born Ireland, s/o William and Mary, married Dec 12, 1868 to Jane CARPENTER, 32 of Cavan, born England, d/o Christopher and Ann. This would not appear to be yours, but it is coincidental! I then found: Edward R.

Dear Susan: I have a copy of Out Of The Mists. Will look up names from the Orono area. I have SOME information on the Robert COOPER-OLVER connection, only because of Roberts bother John COOPER, who married a COATHAM. I gathered information so as to distinguish betwen the two families. Sincerely, Janet in Alberta.

Searching for any Durham/Newcastle connections to JAMESON/GLENN/RONEY surnames. In the early 1840's, Thomas GLENN worked as a shoemaker's apprentice in Cavan. The shoemaker was a Mr. JAMESON, and his son, ALEX JAMESON, married Thomas GLENN'S sister, Mary. ROBERT RONEY and his wife, ELIZABETH, lived in the Newcastle area in the 1840's, and he was a school teacher. All relocated to Perth/Huron Co.s in the late 1840's to mid 1850's. Thanks in advance for your help. Penny Parker Edmonton, Alberta pparker@compusmart.ab.ca

Michael Kaehn: While I was looking for my family (Galloway's) I noticed a family of Kerr's in the 1851 Census, of Manvers Twp., Page 77 who lived close to my family there. My Genealogist told me recently that Galloway's may be relatives to the Kerr's.

There are a number of Hodgsons in Ontario County and later in Victoria county and Haliburton descendents of Jonathan who settled, I believe , in the Columbus area. See the Atlas, a book called Living Traditions written by the children of Clayton Hodgson of Burt River/ Haliburton and published in the 1980's.

Hi Michael; I only have the time to look up one name at a time. Here is what I found on STACEY: County Marriage Registers of Ontario - Durham County - 1858-1869 John STACEY, 25 of Cavan, born England, s/o William and Mary, married Oct 2, 1858 to Grace MARKS, 24 of Bowmanville, born England, d/o Robert and Elizabeth (Veal) There are dozens of STACEYs in the Durham County Newspaper Index, far too many to type out.
