Would anyone know where these records are kept?

My grandfather, John YEATS was born in Ireland in 1860. He was a physician in Dunham Quebec where he married Agnes Maud SHERMAN who was born in Vermont. He was mayor of Dunham for a year somewhere around 1905, I believe. He died in 1923. The earliest record I have is the 1891 census where the family appears with two young daughters. I have never found his name on any ships passenger list. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can search for more information about the man and his life. I'm as interested in this as I am in legal documents such as birth death and marriage certificates. Marg

I am looking for any descendents of George WORBY & his wife Rebecca QUANTRILL who came from Norfolk, England, to Bury, Que in 1836 aboard the ship Indemnity. I am also interested in any other QUANTRILLS who came over at that time. Thanks. Susi Alberta

Hi Listers, I am researching the name WATKINS in the Drummondville area. Especially William WATKINS who married Margaret WRIGHT. If there is anyone else researching this name, I would like to hear from you. I have lots of information on the Watkins and Wright families and don't mind sharing it. What I do not have is a baptism record for William Watkins or Margaret Wright, I have looked just about everywhere but to no avail. They were both born in 1822. They belonged to the Anglican Church, but don't seem to show up anywhere in the Eastern Townships or Montreal, that I have been able to find. Any information, help, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Carole

Hello Listers; As I am from B.C. and realize that my requests here and even in Ontario research are somewhat different from Quebec. Perhaps you can enlighten me on how I go about the correct way and cost effecient way to get a copy of my ggrandfather, Gordon Stanely Martin, born Jan 14, 1896 in Sherbrooke and Lavina Florence Martel, my ggrandmother, born Aug 14, 1899 in Stanstead, Quebec. If I am correct, would I look up in an index to find the birth first? Or since I already have the dates of their birth/deaths, and they are before 1900. I believe if it was 1900 and up, I would most likely have to contact Vital etat. The archives hold these records Im sure, but I believe they do not look up and send a copy?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I certainly need to know the correct way of how it works there so I do not waste anyone's time. Thank you in advance for any help. Suggestions are greatly appreciated also. Thank you. Karen B.C.

Your query pertains to a land grant to a James Dalglish in Megantic County. A "gore" is a non-uniform piece of land which does not fit the standard pattern of land ownership. When land was surveyed into uniform partitions, for example, sections, ranges, townships, etc., errors in the surveyed lines usually resulted in some non-uniform partitions which are called "gores". These errors were not necessarily errors caused by blundering surveyors, but chiefly the result of trying to layout a grid pattern over a spherical-surface (the earth). The surveyors tried to layout as many uniform partitions as possible, and to throw all of the errors into a minimum number of gores. Gores are typically smaller partitions compared to the surrounding standardpartition. FYI, about 25 miles east of Megantic, but on the Maine side of the border, there is a town called Coburn Gore. See http://docs.unh.edu/towns/CoburnGoreMaineMapList.htm or more specifically http://docs.unh.edu/ME/arnl35se.jpg to download a scanned map of that area (this is a fairly large file to download). The use of the term "gore" was commonplace in that area in the 18th or 19th centuries.
