Don't know if this is your William Thompson I have listed in a book on American Loyalist Claims. Loyalist Claims were for people who remained faithful to the Crown. Many of the claims originated in Quebec. If this is your William you could send for the packet which might have other information. William Thompson, Christ Church parish, Ga. Entitled by father's will to lands in Ga., went there in 1775 to recover them. With Lt. Col. Thomas Brown, led Rangers and Indians in an attack on rebels; was captured, but escaped to back settlements of South Carolina with a number of men. This force was inadequate; overpowered, they dispersed. He returned to Ga.; after much hardhip, boarded a vessel and returned to England. Friends tried unsuccessfully to procure him in Army commission; he was obliged to apply for relief. Returned to Georgia (Ga) when it was reduced; on the evacuation came away with family, sending to Jamaica such of his slaves as he could get away. Memorials 5 Aug 1778, 28 July 1779, 4 Dec 1782 Longon; 17 Dec 1783 Earlswood near Swansea.

My 4th ggrandmother, Rachael Sim, wrote a book called "Under The Maples" about how the following families came to Canada and settled in the "Queen's Bush". The book was written in about 1908. If you feel any of these families may be yours, I have re-typed the book and could provide a copy. (An original is located at the University of Alberta Library). In May of 1841, setting out from Glasgow, 10 Pioneer families came to Canada at the same time, actually on the same ship, were the Stewarts, Wilsons, McPhersons, Haddows, Adams, Kirklands, Nicols, Boyces, Weirs and McMillans. The title for "Under the Maples" is taken from the home of her Aunt, Jane Nicol Stewart and her husband Lemuel Powell. They lived one mile north of Wallenstein, just over the Conestoga River bridge on the right hand side of the road. Their home was called "The Maples". Beverley Jones

Hi - would someone be able to search for 1901 census for Alexander Dingwall - born 1870 in Harris, Inverness? He was my grandfather's brother and I believe he came to Canada around 1890's and the only thing I know is that he went out west - perhaps Manitoba or Alberta. That is very vague information and it's all I have and probably not enough to search census records for. I know he married out west and had children so there must be some family somewhere. Thank you - Valerie Barrett in Cape Breton.

Hullo Valerie, I'd like to help. I'm also in Cape Breton, near Sydney. Have you any other info re: Harris, Inverness? David.

I was wondering if someone could search some Methodist Baptismal record of Bytown, Ottawa West for an Alice Cameron daughter of William and Selina Cameron born around 1840. And could some search the 1851 and 1861 Ontario census for Selina Cameron and Michael and Margaret Behan. Sheila Behan

Kathryn, I'm really sorry but I wouldn't know how to start searching anything for you. Unless I have someone to search for then I'm at a loss. If your Sarah Hart was born in Michigan did she move to Canada? Who would be here for the 1881 census?

Yes, I would greatly appreciate a Canadian lookup. Have been researching my LAMPORT , HART ECKER lines for awhile without making much progress. I am looking for John Hart, married to a lady named Ecker, who had a daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Hart in 1862 in Michigan. There are many clues that point to many links to Canada, specifically Ontario. Ring any bells?

While looking for relatives on the site below, discovered many of the Gunns enlisted in WWI for Canada were born Scotland. Birth date, place of birth, marital status, next of kin and occupation at time of enlistment are to be had through on-line search. Actual copy of document can be obtained as well. Good luck, JW http://www.archives.ca/02/02010602_e.html

The information contained in the actual records varies by parish, and who was keeping those records. The record of my gggrandparent's marriage gives their names, and where they were married. That's it. To get the info on their parents, I had to do a search ... and pay for it. Even that wasn't really enough. My gggrandfather's name was Archibald McGill. Two Archibald McGills were born three weeks and 7 miles apart. I made contact with two genealogists in the area through the internet. They helped me sort out which was the correct one. None of the official records were definitive.

Hi Judy, I tried explaining banns and the actual marriage certificates, but couldn't get the wording correct here is a site that contains information about what is what in documents, proclamation of banns are different from marriage certificate.

Hello. I am researching my ggggrandfather and grandmother (John Hart and ? Ecker born in England). They had a daughter in Michigan in 1862 named Sarah Elizabeth Hart. There is some confusion as to John Hart's birthplace due to a conflict between the 1920 U. S. Census where Sarah's enteiwa for her father has an erasure that looks like it could have been Scotland...or Canada...with a Scottish mother tongue.....but then her death certificate (filled out by my ggrandfather, Joseph Samuel Lamport in 1922) reads that her father was born in Nova Scotia... Does any of this ring a bell with any of your research?? Any help would be vastly appreciated. Kathryn

Hi, I am interested in the marriage certificate discussion that has come up. My Hunter/Wilson marriage took place in 1841 and was by banns. I am waiting for the parish register microfilm to come to see what info might be included. I did the same with a register from Cornwall and was quite disappointed as there was nothing there other than bride & groom's names, date, curate and witnesses. It offered no clues to parents and only showed that the groom could write and the bride made her mark. These same witnesses were listed on quite a number of banns. Are Scotland's registers any different? Are there any other means of finding information on this marriage? I too have tried the free search on Scots origins and a preliminary search showed 362 thousand hits! Still searching for Maria Wilson & James Hunter families. Maria born 1819, Edinburgh, but in Ayrshire from a young age. James born 1810 somewhere in Ayrshire we believe. Children: James born 1842, Saint Quivox, died 1854 Ontario Andrew born 1845, Kilwinning, homesteaded in Stony Mountain, Manitoba married Annie ? children Robert born 1885, Manitoba Maggie born 1886, Manitoba Walter born 1889, Manitoba Thomas born 1893, Manitoba Mary born 1848, Kilwinning married George Middleton, Ashfield Twp., Huron Co., Ontario Robert born 1850, Ontario, died 1854, Ontario Annie born 1842, Ontario married Edwin Cann, Winnipeg John born 1855, Ontario, schooled in U.S. in medicine, practiced as a doctor in Independence, Missouri, died 1888 in Kansas City, body returned to Lucknow for burial Elizabeth born 1857, Ontario married William Struthers James Warnock born 1860, Ontario married Mary ?, Ontario children: Earl, Ethel and Edna Jacob Steele born 1863, Ontario married Isabella Cameron, Ontario Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sherry; Could you look up John Glasgow Robertson in the 1881 census for me please? He was born in Iroquois, Ontario 6 May 1868. We believe he left Ontario in the early 1890's and homesteaded around Moose Jaw in 1894 ( I have a copy of his Letters Patent). Any info would be very much appreciated.
