DRAKE; ENG > CAN > OH,USA; 1832- My Drake relatives were in Canada in the 1840s and 1850s. Around 1856/57, the moved to Ohio. My gggrandfather, Joseph B. Drake, was born in England. My gggrandmother, Phebe, was born in Canada. In the 1860 US census record my gggrandmother's birthplace is listed as Canada W. In the 1870 census, it is simply listed as Canada. Can anyone tell me what Canada W. means? Also, do you have any suggestions on where to look for information on my gggrandparents in Canada? I am fairly certain that they were married in Canada, I know that their first child was born in Canada W. in 1856.

WETMORE; ENG / WLS; 1585-1999 I erroneously sent this to L-request, so naturally it hasn't appeared in the digest. Please reply by E-mail; my ISP doesn't carry the NG. -------- Looking for origin of name WETMORE and any Wetmores in the UK. I suspect it may be Wedmore, SOM, which in Domesday also was spelt "Wetmore." John Whitmore (as he called himself) took ship from Bristol to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635 with his five children. They were Puritans. His antecedents are an enduring mystery, though various relatives over the past 140 years have tried to make a connexion with various prominent Whitmores of 17th C. England. Alas, real proof as opposed to wishful thinking eluded them. John Whitmore ============= born abt. 1590, birthplace unknown died 1648, killed by Mohegan Indians near Stamford, New Haven Colony. father unknown mother unknown wife unknown marriage date unknown Known Children, b. in England or Wales 1. Thomas Whitmore, b. 1615, d. 1681 (ancestor of all the North American Wetmores) 2. Ann Whitmore, b. 1618, d. 1660 3. Mary, b. 1623, d. 1684 4. Francis, b. 1624 or 5, d. 1666 (ancestor of a line of Mass. Whitmores) 5. John [Jr.], b. 1627, d. 1650 John and sons Thomas and John Jr. moved to Connecticut Colony in 1637. The family may have been Welsh. In a 19th C. genealogy of the Hall family, Thomas Whitmore (who married Sarah Hall of Middletown, Conn. from a Kentish family) was described as "a Welshman living in the West of England." A Josiah Wetmore, living in Queens Co., NB, CAN, in the 1871 census gave his ethnicity as "Welch." So it is entirely possible that they had a Welsh surname that they abandoned. I've been told that today there are 16 Wetmore households in the UK, about 2/3 of them in the Bristol area. In the 1881 UK census a total of 49 Wetmores were enumerated, though I don't know how many households were represented. The number in either case is small enough to have been descended from, say, two Loyalist Wetmores who returned to ENG after 1781. My own line also was Loyalist but they went to NB. Or they may be strictly native, though it's hard to see why there would be so few when there are 3,000-plus Wetmore households today in the USA and CAN. Any and all information will be welcome.

WALKER George H / MICKLES Amelia; ON,CAN; 1870-1901 Hi Listers: We are seeking information on George H. Walker and Amelia Mickles Walker. George was born in 1870 in Bancroft, Hastings Co., Ontario. Amelia Mickles emigrated to Canada from Germany with her family in 1890. We do not know Amelia's father's name or where they came from in Germany, although it was possibly in the Berlin area. Is there some kind of index to look up names of immigrants to Canada? We know that George and Amelia were living in Holmfield, Manitoba on the 1901 census. They subsequently moved to ND in the USA. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Barbara Williams LazyRoBarb@aol.com

So the date of birth will most likely be BEFORE the stated date by at least a day up to several years. I would order the film at yourlocal FHC and see if the actual date of birth is listed. I was told that Christening papers were all that my GreatGrandfather, JohnFrancis Goggin had when he came to the states and that is why we find hisbirth date listed from 1844-1851, as your can see he was seven when Christened with several other siblings (now if I just knew their names andwhere).
