Hello List I would appreciate some one telling me how to find out which lists in rootsweb I am subscribed to. I am changing my server and so must delete and re submit. I believe I go to http://lists.rootsweb.com but where do I go from there? Thank you for your help. Don

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had the transcripts for Mount View Cemetery in Cambridge (Galt) and could lookup the William Miller name in there for all them listed and email them to me. I found there was a few William Miller's buried in that cemetery (from OCFA) and that is where my friends Miller family came to from Saskatchewan after 1911 census from what it looks like. I know some of his Miller's (even his father Robert Thomas) was born there in Galt. Thank you for any help with this, Dan WJJT Griffin UE

Hi all, I am trying to locate a funeral announcement or death for a Walter /Jean LEMIRE that would probably be fairly recent. His brother Norman passed away last week in Ohio and it mentions that Walter is deceased. I was not able to locate an obituary at the Windsor Star site. Walter was quite involved with growing roses and wrote articles etc and lived with wife Jean in Old Castle Ontario. If anyone knew this gentleman could they please tell me when he passed. Thanks Jackie

I have a copy ... it is an amazing work and each of us would do well to read it for ideas and style on how to write a family history. The author who I knew, the late Dick Houston, was involved with OGS and Toronto Branch. He was tragically killed in a plane crash in Northern Ontario. It is in his honour and memory that the Houston Lecture is given on the Friday evening of each annual OGS Conference. To Bonnie - if you want some pages scanned and emailed let me know - contact me directly and not through the list. Cheers! J.

Would like to make contact someone with a copy of book "Numbering the Survivors - A History of the Standish Family of Ireland, Ontario and Alberta" by J. Richard Houston. It is my understanding that genealogical tables include descendants of Robert Standish b. 1713 of Mill Park, Knockballymeagher, Tipperary, Ireland. The IGI shows his son William Standish married Mary or Margaret Whiglesworth. Specifically researching this couple and any offspring. Any help most appreciated. Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, Have you tried any of the Used book stores - *do a Google search.

Hello Listers, Life, errands, and yard work got in the way of my genealogy and computer and left me with no time or energy to get back to this any sooner. My direct and profound "thank you" to Joanna, Doreen, Dot, Ellen, Mary, Lorine, Joyce, and Stella, who each sent information and ideas to help me with this family. My apology to Lorine for including "off topic of Ontario" information. I am properly chastized. <G> I really appreciate the help I've already been given - including the name of a lady in the province east of Ontario who researches the Fountain/LaFountain family between there and Linday, Ontario. I am astounded and so appreciative of the ideas I've been given. List Members!! Thank you so very much!!! I managed to get one thing done on this research! Last week I ordered a death certificate for James Hill, brother to Louisa, and the lady shared that the certificate says that James was born in NY,USA. So that's where that piece of info came from. I'm inclined to believe the census records I've been given and think James was born in Ontario. Now to find some church records or something else and prove my theory. I have lots of leads!!!! Thank you so very much. Dee

Shirl I did not show date of marriage for Martin & Ann as 4 June 1842. That is marriage date for James Pearcy and Isabella Smith. Marriage date for Martin & Ann was 7 Nov 1839 Ellen

Well Shirl you certainly have our juices rolling. Brian Gilchrists has done extensive searching for you and am sure you have now seen his response with all the info. I certainly agree that Jeremiah had to be Ann's Father and he has provided plenty of clues for you to follow. Brian is a well known Historian & Genealogist so I recommend you follow along with what he has provided. Good Luck Ellen

Good morning Ellen: Good news and bad news ... I can not yet confirm when or where Middleton Wray died and is buried but Ann Wray died March 9, 1876 aged 56 years and 9 months and was stated to have been born in England, and was a farmer's wife (suggesting that he was still living, otherwise it might have said Farmer's Widow). So this should be your Mount Teggart lady. Since there is so much detail in this message, I am taking the liberty of not citing the actual sources but can tell you that this was all found on ancestry and family search. So happy confirming ... the following is a quick synopsis of what I have found for you tonight. Middleton Wray and Ann Piercy were married November 7, 1839 by the Rev. John Culham, Wesleyan Methodist Minister. The date you have cited elsewhere in another posting is incorrect. Middleton's family is listed in the 1852 census of Chinguacousy Township, Peel County, Ontario - remember please that while legally called the "1851" census there were no returns taken that year - all of the "Ontario" (Canada West) returns were enumerated in 1852. The enumerator did get carried away with the "ditto" marks for place of birth! 1852 family consists of Middleton Wray, born England, age 36 Ann Wray, born England, age 30 Marg. Wray, age 9 Chr. Wray (male - sic Cecil?), age 5 Thos. Wray, age 3 Mary Ann (sic Hannah?), age 1 - born in 185 Living in a 1 family 1 storey log cabin. 1861 census of Tecumseth Township, Simcoe County, Ontario Middleton, age 48 Ann, age 41 Margaret, age 19 Cecil, age 15 Thomas, age 12 Hann (sic Mary Hannah?), age 10 Jeremiah, age 7 Middleton, age 5 Sarah Jane, age 3 1871 census of Tecumseth Middleton, age 56 Ann, age 50 Jeremiah, age 17 Middleton, age 15 Sarah, age 12 Mary, age 9 So the family seems to consist of 8 children, with room for an infant death circa 1845 between Margaret and Cecil as well as an infant death circa 1853 between Mary Ann (Hannah?) and Jeremiah. Margaret, Cecil, Thomas, Mary Ann (Hannah); Jeremiah, Middleton, Sarah Jane and Mary. I can state with 99% percent surety that all of the children would have been born here in Ontario and not England. I have also looked at most of the marriage records of these children to confirm that statement. By the way Thomas Wray married Margaret McClure - one of the tribe that I specialize in - that is actually what peaked my interest in your situation! However, we are not (yet?!) related or connected, In the 1852 census of Etobicoke there is also a couple of interest namely a John Wray and his wife Rebecca born in the 1780's in England. >From the IGI, Middleton Wray was christened April 23, 1815 in Market Deeping, Lincolnshire, England being a son of John and Rebecca Wray ... so you have another generation of ancestors here! Now to the Piercy side ... Working with the unusal name of Walkington Piercy who you state to be a brother of Ann Wray's ... Walkington Piercy was christened November 2, 1828 in Barmston, Yorkshire, England being a son of (drum rolll please ....) JEREMIAH and JANE PIERCY. MMMM, so (another drum roll please) Anne Piercy, daughter of Jeremiah and Jane was christened April 29, 1821 in Barmston, Yorkshire, England Shall I keep going?????? James Piercy, son of Jeremiah and Jane was christened Nov. 10, 1819 in Kirby Misperton, Yorkshire (based on the following date of the parents marriage James must have quite premature, LOL!) Margaret Jane Piercy, daughter of Jeremiah and Jane was christened March 20, 1825 in Barmston Georgina Piercy, daughter of Jeremiah and Jane was christened Dec. 9, 1826 in Barmston. Thomas Piercy, son of Jeremiah and Jane was christened Feb. 26, 1831 in Barmston. Final drumroll for tonight ... Jeremiah Piercy married Jane WALKINGTON on July 17, 1819 in Kirby Misperton, Yorkshire, England. So, while we still do not have the answer to your original question about the place of burial of Ann Piercy Wray and or Middleton, I hope that you will appreciate these new details. As someone who battles many health issues myself, I understand your having been out of the scene for so many months. I hope and pray that things are going better for you now, and that many more years of good health and good genealogy are yours to enjoy! Sincerely yours, J. Brian Gilchrist, Box 74503, 270 The Kingsway, Etobicoke, ON Canada M9A 5E2 [email protected]

Ellen: thanks for all your replies to my need of help with this. I am really confused about all of this. LOL Okay I am not giving up so easy; just frustrated at this minute. Some one from this group sent me a copy of the 1851 census for Ontario-peel-Chinguacousy It shows Martin Middleton Wray and Anne and 4 of their eldest children as being in England in 1851. I also have him being in Peel County Ontario Canada in 1852. So he must of come here shortly prior to 1851 and I suspect it must have been prior to 1842. I have their first born Margaret as being born November 1842 here in Ontario so also were Cecil and Thomas. these are the only 3 children showing up on the 1851 census. Okay maybe I need to learn something new here. "Smiles" Could it be that the census taker simply out the country of birth the same for the 3 children as their parents??? The forth child on there is a mary Ann and I don't have her in this family at all; bu I do have a Hannah as the 4th child. probaly another error by the census taker. However this brings me back to your informarion below in this message..... you have noted the marriage of Martin Middleton Wray and Ann Pearcy as being 4 of June 1842. So this leads me to believe that yes all the children were born in Canda; despite the 1851 census saying England? I also have Ann Pearcy as being born here in Ontario and yes she has a brother James and also Walkington. So I will for now assume that this is the correect family of Pearcy's? I have been away from doing any genealogy for more than 18 months due to illness ect. So its taking me longer than I though now I am back; trying to get my head back into the swing of it all. Suddenly my trees are all deluged with so many green leaves. Thanks so much for your help; I really appreciate you. Shirl Shirl have been surfing through Ancestry and came up with the following mges. James Pearcy (also name of witness at Ann & Martin's wedding) from Toronto in the Gore (Home Dist) md. Isabella Smith of Etobicoke, 4 June 1842 - Margaret Jane Pearcy md. Richard Thomas 28 Sept 1843 in Etobicoke, witness also Jeremiah Pearcy - Georgiana Pearcy of Etobicoke md. Robert Robinson in Etobicoke 3 Nov 1846, witn was Wakington Pearcy (also with Jeramia on 1851 Census) Think this Jeramia (Jeremiah) is your link for Ann's Father....but notice variations in the spelling of Piercy, Piercey & Pearcy, they all show up for the same people. Ellen

Hello all: Just a follow-up for anyone east of Toronto who is planning on attending the April 17th meeting that I told you about the other day - it will be a "show and tell" meeting - bring along your ancestral tales, photos, artifacts and tell us all about them. The Cornish diaspora in this country is fantastic - a part of Ontario's history that has been lost to the collective memory. Any one out there eat Meat and Tater Pie??? Well your ancestors were likely Cornish, as this is the North American version of a Cornish pasty. All welcome. Please RSVP so enough chairs can be set up. <[email protected]> Sher

Shirl, afterthought, have you tried contacting Peel Library to see if they have copy of 1831 Census on microfilm? Look for Jeramia Piercey and check if Ann listed. If you cannot get to that Library perhaps someone is going to the Ontario Archives that could check for you.
