Hi everyone, I have just received this book from the library. I am willing to do look ups. Please provide a FIRST name and SURNAME. If you do NOT hear back from me then I have not found anything for you. Thanks Steph

Hello to everyone on the Durham List, I am trying to find out more information on a William DREGGS who was listed on the 1871 census in Whitby West Township, district 48, Subdist =B, Division = 1, pg D. I guess this means he died within the previous 12 months if I have read the census index notes properly. Does anyone out there have access to the actual census return and could give me more details? I am trying to establish whether he was the same William Dreggs I have in my tree born around 1842 in Lincolnshire England. Thanks in advance Julie Salmon Hertfordshire U.K. My other surname interests in the U.K. are; LECKEY from Banbridge, Co Down, N Ireland. DRINKALL, NEWBORN, HOWSON, EGGITT & VINE all in Lincolnshire MASON, Ipswich, Suffolk, DYSON, North London RAINEY, CARROLL Co Sligo, Ireland

Steph Is this the 1878 census of Oshawa that you are speaking about? I saw it a couple of years ago. It appeared to be an assessment of the local population using census principles to count everyone. Very worthwhile at the start of a town. /cheers Pat ----- Original Message ----- From: Steph <steph.eddy@sympatico.ca> To: <ONDURHAM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: 29 February 2000 22:10 Subject: Oshawa Book > Hi Everyone, > I have just found this book on Oshawa.

If anyone has any information which might be relevant to her, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thom Garfat Rosemere, Quebec Searching KILTY, GARFAT (Ontario) HAZELWOOD (Ontario)

Hi Everyone, I have just found this book on Oshawa. It contains names of early settlers-1978. I will do look ups on a specific first and surname but cannot search for a surname alone. If it is found that your ancestor is in this book, then I will give you all the information pertaining to that specific family. In some cases the name alone may be mentioned. If you do not hear back from me , then I did not find your name. Steph

I am wondering if there is anyone who is able to do a couple of obituary look ups for me at the Whitby-Oshawa Genealogical Society holdings located at the Whitby Public library. Please contact me . Thank you Steph

I should have mentioned before that the above book is about 240 men who died in the GREAT WAR 1914-1918 who worked for the Bank of Montreal prior to service. Sorry, Steph

Hello, I am looking for help with James ELLIOTT, b 31 Aug. 1833, Manvers Twp., Durham Co, Ontario. Thanks, Maureen

Thank you to Kathy in Sarnia for the Glover information. Could some one please tell me where the Durham County Newspaper Index is available? Much appreciated. Janet in Alberta.

Would there be information on Rev. John Wilber Hartford and family. They were listed on 1861 Darlington Census. John's wife was named Ann. They at the time of the census had 7 of their 10 children. Since he was a minister he probably moved around somewhat. I can't find him in the 1871 Census. Thank you in advance for any help, Bill Hartford, Wdh0123@aol.com

I didn't find this index in the W-O Branch publications list, did I miss something? INfo that I am after are the deaths of John Wright (between 1856 and 1861) and his widow Margaret (after 1871). There's a lot more of the family history in Durham County, but I don't want to overload a volunteer, so would like to purchase the index for myself and the local GS. Thanks Miles Wright
