I am trying to trace my gg-grandmother's family in Ontario. Mary Jane Powell (also known as Jane) was born on March 29, 1834 somewhere in Ontario. She married James Paulin on April 5, 1853 near Woodstock, Ontario and she died on November 27, 1906 in Wroxeter, Huron County, Ontario. I am trying to find out where she was born and anything at all about her parents, siblings, etc. So far this has been my brickwall! Thanks, Daryl

I have Powells from London Township in Middlesex Co Ontario..

Hi Daryl I descend from two distinctly separate Powell families. One of which settled in London Twp Middlesex Co. and the other in Eastern Ontario. Several of my ancestors moved to Nissouri and Zora townships which straddle the Middlesex/Oxford County line. One never really knows who and where some people ended up. Thats what makes this hobby so interesting. I have several "Mary Jane" and a couple of "Jane" ancestors; none of which match your information. You may want to contact the Oxford County Library in Woodstock. Oxford County Library E-mail Address(es): rosemary@ocl.net I'm not sure how current the above address is as I've not used it for some time. If you contact them ask if the Woodstock Branch of the Ontario Genealogy Society has an email address. They are physically located next to each other in Woodstock.
