    1. Re: [ONTARIO] Essequibo versus Esquesing
    2. Pat Jeffs
    3. Hi Brian You never know what you are going to find in a newspaper. Way back before I started transcribing I found an 1848 death notice in a Dumfries (Scotland) newspaper which gave my ggg-grandmother's home as "in Genoch" in Balmaghie parish. Her son (who was a Registrar) said he was born in Erngennoch in Balmaghie parish. It was more than a year before I realized they were one and the same place! And, considering Dumfries was a good 20 miles away I've always wondered how they got the information, complete with the error, to the newspaper office. /cheers Pat -----Original Message----- From: ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Brian Gilchrist Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 6:02 PM To: ontario@rootsweb.com Subject: [ONTARIO] Essequibo versus Esquesing Hi Pat ... Esquesing is one of "my" areas, and never seen it as Essequibo. Snce this notice was printed in a newspaper, I am willing to go 50 / 50 odds on this one really being in Guyana. This problem is fun ... so let's keep plugging away to see if anyone can find THE answer ... Onwards!

    1. [ONTARIO] Marriage of Francis wood(s) and Mary Bone
    2. Peggy Gordon
    3. Hello, I have the date of this marriage as June 24, 1853 unverified. I feel that it took place in Puslinch , as that seems to be where Mary was living and where some of the children were born. The first ones were born in Waterloo, with the very first being Francis on Apr 29, 1856. The details of this marriage, specifically the parents of each person, would be very helpful to my research. Thank you Peggy Gordon

    3. Hi Lois: According to a posting on Rootsweb, New Castle was in New Brunswick, not Ontario, so you likely should join and post to that list re the marriage, if it took place there. Here is the entry on Rootsweb: From: "Barbara Ramb" <Barbara4446@msn.com> Subject: [CAN-NB-NORTHUMBERLAND-L] Calvin Sisco Powers Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2003 21:28:29 -0500 SEEKING INFO ON CALVIN SISCO ( MAY BE CISCO) POWERS BORN IN NEW CASTLE, NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA. He was born 17 Oct 1845 and was the son of Samuel Weatherhead Powers. Believe Calvin Sisco moved to US in 1860. Don't know area or where to begin. Thank you. Note that the above entry was on the Northumberland, New Brunswick List, not Ontario. I didn't find Calvin on the 1851 Canada census so perhaps he had already moved to the US, or the census records for the place in Canada where he was living did not survive, or he is mis-indexed. I found a Samuel Powers in Northumberland, Ontario but his wife is listed as Mary. He was born abt 1799 in England.. Marg in Sunny Alberta Lois Flook wrote: >Hi Listers, > > A friend has asked me to do some research for her. I have very scanty information, but here it is. Looking for the marriage of Calvin Siscoe Powers, born 09 Sep 1826 in Ontario, and married "in the township of Clark in New Castle District, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, on 17 Oct 1845." (Information taken from family notes). Calvin's father was Samuel Weatherhead Powers, and mother was Catherine Sophia Doran. Any help you may provide as to how my friend may obtain this marriage record will be appreciated. Actually, any information on this family would also be extremely helpful.

    1. Re: [ONTARIO] M.R.C.S.L.A.K.C. - what does it stand for?
    2. Pat Jeffs
    3. Hi Steve MRCS stands for Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, which fits with medical doctor. LAKC might stand for a university or other teaching institution, possibly "London and King's College"--both of which have medical faculties. I wonder if some of the full stops or periods are actually commas. Today we would arrange this as MRCS(LAKC), with or without the full stops depending on standard usage. There weren't that many British universities to choose from in 1860. Then again, KC on its own also stands for King's Counsel. . . . /cheers Pat -----Original Message----- From: ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Steve Marshall Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 2:05 PM To: ontario@rootsweb.com Subject: [ONTARIO] M.R.C.S.L.A.K.C. - what does it stand for? I found the following initials after the groom's name in a 1860 Ontario marriage - M.R.C.S.L.A.K.C. - the first initial could have been an "H". This was shown after the groom's name much like M.D. (Medical Doctor) or J.P. (Justice of the Peace) would be designated. Anyone know what this means? I've tried searching it on the web and have come up with nothing. Family name was GORING and there is a UK Goring family who were Baronets - does it have any connection to a title? Thanks.

She married a gentleman born in the States by the name of Fred Tremain Setchell...who is believed to be buried in Chicago. Would like to learn more about Beatrice and her family if they appear in 1881 Census or 1891 Census. Marriage of Thorne to Setchell...could be variances here Satchell Setchel Satchal. Beatrice died about 1937 in Toronto...obituary would be great. I spent about 4 hours the other day going through Census records and such with no luck. So if there is anyone on this list that has these interests or can help me with any of this it would be appreciated. Fred by the way was from an American family that may have been quite high up in the American Slave trade...not real happy about this part but that is the way it was. Thanks Scott

    3. Hi Listers, A friend has asked me to do some research for her. I have very scanty information, but here it is. Looking for the marriage of Calvin Siscoe Powers, born 09 Sep 1826 in Ontario, and married "in the township of Clark in New Castle District, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, on 17 Oct 1845." (Information taken from family notes). Calvin's father was Samuel Weatherhead Powers, and mother was Catherine Sophia Doran. Any help you may provide as to how my friend may obtain this marriage record will be appreciated. Actually, any information on this family would also be extremely helpful. By 1860 the family had moved to the U.S. Calvin is her 3rd ggrandfather. Thanks so much. Lois Flook at flook1202@yahoo.com --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
