Hi Margaret, you didn't indicate what specifically you are looking for so I will just reply as follows. I have the Dunham Cemeteries Books as written and published by Brenda Wilson Birch and it has numerous Yeats, Yates, as well as other surnames that you have mentioned. In the All Saints Anglican Church Cemetery on Main (Principale) St. in Dunham, your John Francis Yeats (MD) is listed 1860 - 1923, h/o Agnes Maud Sherman. (cousin of the famous Poet). I would be glad to do any lookups you want but yours are listed in various cemeteries around Dunham. I don't know where Brenda would have obtained the info on the cousin relationship but knowing her and her thorough research, I'm sure that the statement was either on the stone or in one of her research documents. William Butler Yeats is well documented on the net as well at to his origin in Ireland. http://www.online-literature.com/yeats/ You might want to talk to the people at the Brome County Historical Society and Museum or the Missiquoi Historical Society as well. Keith. PS: My interest in looking was due to a Yeats in my family, but from Scotland. Buried in Bedford QC. k.

My Grandfather, John Francis (Frank) Yeats b. 1860 d. 1923 emigrated from Ireland to Canada at some point before 1888. That is the year he married my grandmother. The family story is that he was recruited to come to Montreal as a physician and somehow ended up in Dunham, Mississquoi County. I am trying to find documentation of his birth in Ireland and would like to know when he arrived in Canada. He is also said to have been mayor of Dunham at some time. I would like to find out exactly when he was mayor and more about the area at that time. My grandmother, Agnes Maud Sherman b. 1869 d. 1933, is descended from the Galer and England families who lived in and around Dunham. My earliest record of the Galer family is a death certificate in 1848 and I can trace the England family to 1826 in Quebec and to 1731 in Massachusetts The family has at several times married men named Austin, most recent being my uncle, Noel Austin, who lived in Granby until the 1980s. Margaret

I am looking for any info on Robert Wilson Little, a shoemaker, who (according to 1851 and 1871 Quebec census) was born in Ireland about 1816. Robert was married to Mary Moneypenny in 1848 in Lennoxville, near Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada and died there in 1875. Before his death, Robert has 10 children; John, William, Andrew, Robert, Mary, Charles, James, Sarah, Frederick and Margaret. It is unknown where in Ireland he was born or when he moved to Canada. Any help on this person appreciated. He was my great, great, grandfather and has become my brick wall. Many thanks in advance, Rollei (in Australia) Researching: LITTLE, Hibbard, Labies, Harmegnies, Gilbert, Bickford (and a few others) http://www.littlegenealogy.com _________________________________________________________________ Advertisement: House hunt online now! ninemsn.realestate.com.au http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fninemsn%2Erealestate%2Ecom%2Eau%2Fcgi%2Dbin%2Frsearch%3Fa%3Dbhp%26t%3Dres%26cu%3DMSN&_t=758874163&_r=HM_Txt_Link_Oct06&_m=EXT

Searching for any info on : John Robert H. Clendenning, born 1898 in Montreal City. Apparently died in 1935 in Montreal. Lorne Clendenning may have been born in 1901, in Montreal city. Any info greatly appreciated. Thank you. Joyce

Thanks for you reply David. I have tried to be generous with surname spellings in my research and there are plenty of variations of GILIGAN(note just one `L`) believe you me! The family you refer to who married a possible Giligan wasn`t Smith by any chance? When my Grandmother married in Scotland in 1902 she gave her Mother as Mary SMITH which was either the truth or as we believe she was illegitimate, a convenience to save embarrassment. Indeed the Mary GILIGAN mentioned in the 1881 Census was likely her Mother who may or may not have subsequently married a SMITH . Family belief is that Mabel Grace had a sister who, as she did not appear on the 1881 Census, must have been younger than her but we just do not know. Scottish tradition dictates that first born daughter is named after the maternal Grandmother and in Mabel Grace`s case, she called her first born daughter Mary hence Mary Giligan should be the Mother!! Too simple? Anyway, I have contacted Judy Antle on advice of Keith Carter and will be interested to ascertain if the GILIGANS appear on the 1891 Census for Stanbridge. Thanks again for your interest.

I see roll call going on so I'm putting in my wish list for David Johnston and family. I believe he married ca 1830. David was born 1808 Scotland but didn't marry there. Believe his wife's name to be Margaret Adam and see was born Scotland. Their children were born "Lower Canada" but sometimes reference is made to NB so I think it was likely Quebec near NB border. Child were Mary, James, Thomas, David and Jane born there. Any help appreciated. Peggy Large UE "I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead" thanks to Jimmy Buffett!

Another possibility is the name Gillilan or Gilland. I follow a family from Stanbridge that married someone with the surname recorded as Gillilan and Gilland in Franklin County. I have long suspected that she might really have been a Gilligan, simply because of the similarity of sounds. Its a long shot but relax the spelling constraint and someone might show up. > > James Gray wrote: > > This is my second posting re GILIGAN family so forgive me!! > > > > My Grandmother - MABEL GRACE GILIGAN - emigrated from Quebec to > Scotland as a 14 year nursemaid in 1894/95 .

James, there was a 1891 census of Canada and Stanbridge is on microfilm reel T-6404 assuming you have access to borrowing through ILL or other means. You might also contact the Missisquoi Museum in Stanbridge East QC http://www.museemissisquoi.ca/a7.html. Judy Antle is the Archivist and she may be able to point you in the right direction. Judy Antle <jantle@museemissisquoi.ca>. Good luck, Keith.

This is my second posting re GILIGAN family so forgive me!! My Grandmother - MABEL GRACE GILIGAN - emigrated from Quebec to Scotland as a 14 year nursemaid in 1894/95 . In Canadian Census of 1881(aged 1) she lived in Stanbridge, Missisquoi, with other members of family Edward GILIGAN(56 - her Grandfather?),Ester GILIGAN (34 -her Stepgrandmother?),Mary GILIGAN (28 -her Mother?), also Edward GILIGAN (13- relationship unknown) and Eddy I GILIGAN (11-relationship unknown). Anyone - anywhere - known anything of the family? They are a complete mystery! Was there an 1891 Canadian Census? I have checked the 1901 an 1911 Census but the family appear to have totally disappeared except, of course for my Grandmother - Mabel Grace Giligan - who lived to a ripe old age of 86 in Scotland. Any info/assistance would be gratefully received. Many thanks. Jim Gray

Sorry the information I gave you wasn't new. You mentioned descendants of Joel. Was he the one who remained in Canada? Would you happen to have any information on a Thomas Rollins that might fit here? I have Thomas ROLLINS and Selina CARROW, probably married at Troy, Orleans Co., VT around 1873/74? These are their known children: ~Lillian ROLLINS b. March 1, 1875 ~Celia ROLLINS b. March , 1877 ~Louisa ROLLINS b. April 5, 1879 I am trying to find out what happened to them. I am related to Selina. We did not know who she married, etc., until we stumbled upon the birth records of her children in Vermont, but where were they in Canada? Cannot locate them in the census for 1880/1881. Thanks! --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell? Check outnew cars at Yahoo! Autos.

I have that information, although not from that source, but from William Bartlett Rollins who died in 1989. He expanded it to include more on the descendants of Joel. It is the reference to Lucy Winch that I suspect is wrong. I have learned that, just because it is written, it is not necessarily true. Thanks for your reply.

For the last decade I believed that my great-great-great grandparents were Samuel Rollins of Dublin, NH and Lucy Winch of Framingham, MA. This was based on LDS information for which "no source information is available" or "information has not been verified against any official records" as well as page 389 from the History of Dublin, NH. They had three boys, Samuel, James and Joel who was my great-great grandfather, and the boys legal activities are well documented in the late 1820s in the Seigniory of St. Armand in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. James eventually returned to the USA and Samuel and Joel stayed in Quebec. I have never found a record in Quebec of their mother's name. I recently read in a book of Vermont Warnings Out that, on Oct. 11, 1808, Rutland issued a warning out to the three boys, their father Samuel and their mother Hepsibath. In reviewing the LDS site I found that, based on source documents, there was a Samuel with wife Hepsibeth and three boys Samuel, James and Joel. In addition, according to the History of Framingham, page 446, S. Rollins married Hephzebah Winch on Nov. 22, 1792. I would appreciate comments from others who have studied this family. Perhaps Lucy was just a nickname for Hepsibah (lots of spelling variations). LDS information can often be quite misleading. My Joel is shown as born in Durham CT, Durham ON, Durham NS, Durham NH and Durham QC. I don't know if he was ever in Durham, QC but he was certainly active in the area around Dunham, QC. It would be interesting to know why the town fathers of Rutland invited the family to leave town. Perhaps it was nothing more than loyalist leanings.

Howard, Sometimes in New England in the time period you mention (and earlier), the towns and villages had a policy that they would not allow any people to stay that were down on their luck. Instead of public aid, charities, the township, etc. and resources we have now, they quite often just asked them to leave so that they wouldn't have to help them or support them. That may be why your family was asked to leave.

I would have to agree with the previous post. Towns and villages could not absorb the cost of feeding and caring for those who could not care for themselves. I am very familiar with the "warnings out" of folks in Alburg, VT and it was just a matter of survival, as I see it. If you couldn't support your family, you were warned out and most moved on to other towns. I have not seen any particular leaning toward Loyalists....just that they couldn't support their own family. But -- I may be wrong -- have been so, many, many times. ;-) Howard Jackman <howard.jackman@sympatico.ca> wrote: For the last decade I believed that my great-great-great grandparents were Samuel Rollins of Dublin, NH and Lucy Winch of Framingham, MA.
