Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone lives in Argenteuil County. If so, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to drive to Lakefield to see if "death records" are available for the 1850 to 1880 timeframe. Having said that, as a New England resident, I don't know what kinds of records are available in Quebec Province for the 1800's ! I am looking for someone to be able to locate ... the official "death records" for the following people - which might HOPEFULLY show the names of their parents, or at least their father, and which county in Ireland they were born in: William HENDERSON died in 1870 in Island Brook. Mary (KERR) HENDERSON died in 1881 in Lakefield. Patrick KERR died in 1866 in Lakefield. Elizabeth (KERR?) KERR died in 1850, probably in (former) Gore Township. Levi MILLER (from NH/USA) died in 1858 in Lakefield. Elizabeth (KERR) MILLER died in 1866 in Lakefield. John KERR died in 1862 in (former) Gore Township. Ann (HENDERSON) KERR died in 1851 in Deux-Montagnes (?). I am hoping that tidbits of information on the official church records in Lakefield might open up a "whole, new world" to all the people researching these four couples. (Note: Researchers disagree as to whether Patrick KERR and Mary (KERR) HENDERSON were siblings, or whether Elizabeth (KERR?) KERR and Mary (KERR) HENDERSON were siblings. I am hoping their "death records" might provide a hint or clue to this mystery.) (Note: The other couple who came with this family-group was Samuel and Catherine HENDERSON. But, they moved away, probably during the 1830's, possibly to Ontario Province.) (All arrived 1823-1825) (Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that Samuel's wife was Catherine KERR.) John METCALF's on-line family-history document shows William HENDERSON (and probably his brother, Samuel HENDERSON) being born in Sligo, Sligo, IRELAND, and .. marrying there (and some of their children being born there). But, all the references to the KERR's only show a reference to IRELAND. (It is my "guess" that the KERR's and HENDERSON's traveled together .. before they left for Canada, and that the KERR's were also in County Sligo. (Any official research in County Sligo, Ireland, would be VERY costly.) Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. I hear from people on the Lists that parts of very western Canada are already having "bad snowstorms." How is the weather in Quebec Province?
