Murray you might already have this information but here are sites I use allllll the time. http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/countyatlas/search.htm - land registrations. If you take the information to the land registration office you can look at the original registration and often you will find numbers listing WILLS that are on file. These wills give a lot of information. http://www.geneofun.on.ca/ongenweb/surnames/ - surname search http://ocfa.islandnet.com/ocfa-search.php - Ontario cemetery findings. This site is fun to play with to find surname associations and sometimes OGS (Ontario Genealogical Society) has the transcriptions for sale. http://www.ogs.on.ca/ - if you join then join the county in Ontario you are researching they are extremely helpful. You can post a query on your own too. I find a lot of information forthcoming on this site. I had a recent experience with my cousin while in Ireland who was researching in Monaghan and the family was in two counties right next door to eachother so it made for difficult research until we got there and it totally made sense. Please contact me off list if you want help.

My gg grandmother Frances Elliott was born in County Monaghan about 1814. She married jeremiah Bell in the 1830's. There is a jeremiah Bell on the Tithe applotment Books living in the townland of Figevly (now Feegavla) in Inniskeen Parish, Monaghan. Jeremiah and Frances had a son, William born about 1838. The family immigrated to Canada in 1840. In the 1842 Canadian census they are living in Fitzroy Township, carleton County, ontario. They are tenants on a farm owned by David Elliot who came about 1830 from the Kingscourt area of County Cavan, Ireland. I have determined that Frances is definitely not a daughter of David Elliott but Is probably related somehow (maybe a niece). Both the Bell & Elliott families were Wesleyan Methodist. > > Now , it appears that Feegavla & Kingscourt are no more than 15K apart. I think that there is a strong possibility that Jeremiah Bell, Frances Elliott, and David Elliott knew each other through the same church. Since Methodists used the C of I in those days, I am thinking I should try to track down the C of I records both at Kingscourt Cavan and at Inniskeen, Monaghan. Any other suggestions? > > Another question. Feegavala is in Inniskeen Parish , Monagahan and Kingscourt is in Enniskeen Parish, Cavan.
