Shirl on the 1851 Census for Peel Co., Toronto Twp there is a Jeramia Piercey age 56. The Witness at Ann & Martin's wedding (Tasmiah?) could be Jeramia. Ann & Middleton Wray are also on the 1851 for Peel Co.

Good Saturday morning everyone: I have just started on this family and am wondering if anyone has done any research into the McMaster family, specifically Senator William McMaster of McMaster University fame. I am trying to find a list of siblings, as according to the Dictionary of Canadian Biography he had various nephews working for him at various times. My interest is in a Mary Ann (Minnie) McMaster (supposedly one of William's nieces) who married Kenneth Chisholm of Brampton in 1865. Her father is either a Joseph or a John McMaster - hence supposedly a brother to Senator William. Minnie died in 1904 in Brampton - the funeral was private and she is not buried with her husband and children in the Brampton cemetery (the Cemetery has checked and I have seen the plot cards). One of their sons was named Fenton Chisholm. Minnie's brother, Samuel Fenton McMaster married Elizabeth (?) who was involved with the founding of The Hospital for Sick Children. Minnie also had a sister Eliza McMaster married a W. G. (?) Paterson of Streetsville - no further details as yet, and sister Catherine McMaster and I do not know what happened to her. Any one else researching these families? Cheers! J. Brian Gilchrist

Hello List members: The people of Ontario came from many places, including Devon and Cornwall in the UK. Most of the Devon and Cornwall people were members of the Bible Christian Church. I am developing a new website for them <http://BibleChristianProject.webs.com> I hope those of you with Bible Christian ancestors will visit the site. For those of you who are aware of your Cornish heritage, the Toronto Cornish Association tries to hold at least one meeting each year east of Toronto, to allow more people to attend. April 17th the meeting will be held in Whitby (165 Greenways), so it offers a perfect opportunity for everyone east of the city to attend - and visitors and guests are always welcome. Come out and celebrate your heritage - the meetings are always interesting! RSVP to me, please, so we can make sure there are enough chairs <[email protected]> Sher

(in response to Zeiman - Campbell marriage 1930s or 1940s) Marriage registrations up to 1927 are available at the moment (both at Ontario Archives or at LDS). 1928s will be made available within the next couple of months. The LDS only has what is available publicly (i.e. up to 1927 now) For 1930s and 1940s you have to apply to the Ontario government for a copy (if you know the date), otherwise you are dependent on church records or newspapers Mary --- On Wed, 4/7/10, D O' <[email protected]> wrote: > From: D O' <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [ONTARIO] [CAN-ONT-YORK] Evelyn Zeiman married ?

As you know Ontario Marriage registrations are only available at this time up to 1926. You might attend at an LDS office to view microfilms for later dates for this couple's marriage. Meanwhile I did check but found nothing prior to 1926 for a marriage between Zeiman and Campbell. I did notice a spelling variation for Zeiman as Zeaman. Cheers!

Is there any information available re this family: Evelyn Zeiman married ? Campbell, Ottawa or Toronto, Ont. 1930 -1940's Sons Robert, Gordon Campbell.

Hello Dee, Here's a bit more information. There is a Hill family in Welland, Welland County Ontario in the 1861 census, ED one, page 2. that fits the bill for Louisa' s family. David Hill b England, abt 1801 Mary Hill b Canada East abt 1814 8 children Peter 27, Edward 20, Sophia 17, Mary 15, Adelia 12, Louisa 10, Caroline 8, and James 3 The family is RC.All children born Canada East. Peter and Edward show up in ST clair and Bay counties, Michigan. It looks likely Adelia is the wife of Alexander Woods and mother of Matilda Woods already shown with David and Mary Wood in MI although I didn't see a marriage record in MI. >From the death record in MI of Edward and Peter it looks like the mother is Mary Benoit or Benware. I don't see a marriage of David amd Mary in the Drouin records in Quebec.

Mary, Your note made it this time. However please don't ASK technical questions or pleas for help regarding list difficulties, ON the list. Those posts go to all list subscribers, but probably the only one who can help you is the list admin. **FIRST**** visit the ROOTSWEB HELP DESK for notices about Rootsweb problems. http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com There's no sense flooding my email inbox or the list with messages about lists possibly being down or other technical problems. Check to see if the problem is noted on the HelpDesk page. ***SECOND**** If there's no notice on the Rootsweb HelpDesk page, write to me, NOT the list, for help.

Made this note many years ago maybe it might help someone today 1851 census in two parts for Puslinch Twp. Wellington Co. (personal) the north east side of Brock Rd cannot be found - it is incorrectly labelled as Brock Twp. Division No 2 may be found on reel C-973 even though Brock Twp. is in Ontario County.

why is this happening? I've tried twice & it comes back as a failure...

Hello Dee, Here is some more about the Godfrey line. You may get an idea where to look for Joseph Fountain's marriage record. To follow the Godfrey line, see the Hales tree on the Ancestry Public Trees http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/15978556/person/345066913 The Godfrey family were in Haldimand Twp Northumberland County early and the Darlington Clarke Twps. This tree shows census records from 1811 - 1825. It also shows another Fountain that married a Godfrey - David Godfrey m Mary Hannah Fountain.

Hello Dee, The County Marriage Register for Victoria County does shows that there were 2 Fountain couples in Fenelon, Victoria county that had children of marriageable age in the 1858- 1869 timeframe. One was John and Delilah and the other was Joseph and Elizabeth. You might want to track these children and see what information turns up. The microfilm catalogue for the census doesn't say any film was missing for Fenelon, so I suggest you look at the microfilm for 1861 and see if you can get a better copy of that page than Ancestry has, and get the ages of the family in Fenelon in 1861. The first 2 names are John and Delila but it is not clear who else is in the family/families? and their ages. There appear to be several Fountain families on that page from row 1 to at least row 33 maybe more since it shows at least 4 log homes. I don't see these families anywhere in the 1851 census. The agricultural census for 1861 on Ancestry shows Joseph at Concession 5 lot 5 of Fenelon Twp. So there may be land records you could access. The children of Joseph and Elizabeth in the marriage register were the following: Fountain John , 21, Fenelon, Mariposa, s/o Joseph and Elizabeth, married 13 Feb 1860 to Hannah Batchford, 25, Fenelon, Canada daughter of James and Jane Fountain, John, 26, Fenelon, Whitby, s/o Joseph and Elizabeth, married Sept 27 1866 to El;iza Brown, 18, Fenelon, Cartwright, d/o Abraham and Ann Fountain Joseph, 22, Fenelon, Georgina, s/o Joseph and Elizabeth, married 1 Jan 1867 to Annie Maria Godfrey, 19, Fenelon, Mariposa, d/o of James and Jane Marshall Bice, Samuel, 26, Fenelon, Brock, s/o Hamilton & Esther, marriewd 28 Feb 1860 Sarah Fountain, 19, Fenelon, Brock, d/o/ Joseph & Elizabeth So it looks like this family moved a lot from Mariposa Twp abt 1839 to Brock abt 1841 and in Georgina by 1845 and Lindsay (Ops twp) abt 1852 for Jacob. Looking at the family trees on Worldconnect, I see trees for John and Joseph Fountain. There is a strong connection to the Godfrey family. Deliah and Elizabeth were both Godfreys. See: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=eland&id=I23 00 Good luck with your research Joanna Waugh > Message: 3 > Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2010 14:28:47 -0500 > From: "Dee's Genealogy" <[email protected]> > Subject: [ONTARIO] Help with what ever is available . . . > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; > reply-type=original > > Hi Listers, > > I'm at a loss.

I looked at the 1880 Census for Bay City and found the Fountain family with Jacob and Louise born in Canada. I then used LDS Pilot to look up birth of one of the children under the Michigan births and found the child which gave the names of the parents only as Jacob Fountain and Louise Fountain. Although Louise's surname is given as "Hill" daughter of David Hill, I could not locate any birth for her in Quebec and wondered if her name was Hill, Hall or perhaps Houle? The Drouin Collection shows many Hill surnames in Quebec in the timeframe mentioned, however I did not see many in the Trois Rivieres area. Could you identify the religion of Louisa's family? Cheers!
