This discussion has been interesting. If you have the 1881 census location, can you determine lot, concession? I tried finding this out before. John & Catherine McNabb were in Eldon: Victoria North Film: C13243, Dist 130, sub Dist A, pg2, #18 and their daughter Martha Currie was in Mariposa: Film C13242, Dist 129, Sub Dist C, p 31 #132. I still haven't found out what happened to John & Catherine. Arch & Martha moved to Chicago near her brother John McNabb (John & Catherine's son- my gr-grandfather) abt 1891. My guess is that was after Catherine died. There are cemeteries with John & Catherine McNabbs- but not mine. Thanks! Carolyn
Hi Carolyn, The lot and concession cannot be determined from the 1881 Canadian census. The lot and concession are recorded in Schedule 2 of the 1901 census and usually on Schedule 1 in the 1911 Canadian census.

Thank you all for your help in placing where some of our Ileachs went. I might just have caused some confusion about who was living where & when. One of our family problems is the surname variously transcribed and adopted. Im a Heads (as are the ones still on Islay). Others have become Ead (pronounced EED), Eads, Head, Heed and even Hood. Lets start with Archie, born an Eads, but becomes an Ead Born illeg at Persabus in 1813 to John Eads and Mary Ferguson To Sue, thanks for the old 1851 data, not seen that before, starts to give me a date of when they went I believe the enumerator HAS got it badly wrong, perhaps Archies English wasnt so good. Names, well there were a lot of children lost in infancy (see below) He was married for the first time to Flora McDonald in Paisley 3 Jan 1837, second time in Owen Sound (this is what I got from the list before transcription from Annan cemetery) 3. Archibald Ead d. Feb. 24 1900 aged 87 yr., native of Argyleshire, Scot. In memory of Margaret Cameron, beloved wife of Archibald Ead. Born in Ferintoshroshire, Scot., died in Owen Sound Apr. 25 1894 aged 57 yr. 6 mos. In memory of Flora McDonald, beloved wife of Archibald Ead d. Dec. 7 1859 aged 44 yrs. 7 mos., native of Thelsland, Islay, Argyleshire, Scot. Also their children John d. Aug. 17 1868 aged 21 yrs 4 mos., Archibald d. Jan. 22 1882 aged 32 yrs, also seven infants. Three sons died in Paisley, Scot. He farmed lot 22 con 5 - lots of sources of this This from the gazetteer of 1865-6 , cant remember which page http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wjmartin/greypref.htm Fewer than half the names on the Assessment Roll of 1864, are marked as "Freeholders;" and as we find some of the heaviest assessments against persons who are set down merely as "Householders,"we have omitted a distinction that would in many cases be invidious. (edited by AJ Heads 2006 for relevant entry only) Campbell, Walter 5 22 Campbell, Hugh 5 22 Ead, Arch. 5 22 So the farm was shared ,maybe the Campbells were Irish, have not investigated them. Possibly NOT coincidentally, Archies daughter Catherine married an Archibald Campbell. Gord the other possibility I can think of is Archie came via Ireland and so got lumped in with their lot? Hence the 1851 census enumerator thinking them Irish too.(Q where did you come from? A Ireland) I now believe John Ead who farmed lot 21 Con1 SCR (thanks a lot Lorne for explaining the system) to be the nephew of Archie and the son of George b Persabus 1815). John arrives at Quebec Canada in 1872 according to the Toronto assisted immigration records, with onward transport to Collingwood. This John I believe to be the father of the John Malcom Ead buried in Leith Cemetry which was what I found recently that started me off, since I believed old Archie never had any surviving males after his 2 sons __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
