Burial Information Isaac Lake (1861-1928) Needed

verdun1950 — 1 Dec 2008 1:06:40 GMT

I believe the Isaac Lake I'm looking for died on 10 Jul 1928 (68 yrs.old) in Middlesex County. He was born in 1861 in Norfolk, England and was married with one child but for some reason walked out from his family and immigrated to Canada in 1920.

There appears to be quite a few Lakes in Middlesex, all from England ... so this maybe the reason he came to Canada.

If anyone can tell me if he is buried in Middlesex, I would be grateful, and if you know the incription on the headstone, that would be a bonus!

Thank you.

Beaul, Buel, Blain, Montague and Babcock Families in Middlesex

IRoberts4227 — 24 Jun 2006 12:18:25 GMT

Hello.

I have started working a bit on my wife's (her name is Beth Ann Blain) family and am having a bit of trouble getting started. It seems no one in her family is all that interested so getting details on even recent generations is proving difficult.

What I have:

The family lived in Newbury and there are still relatives there. Her parents names are Rita Beaul and Arden Blain. They are divorced and neither live in the area. What sketchy information I have has come from a couple of conversations with them.

My Wife's Grandparents are:

Charles Blain (my wife remembers the name Earl here too somehow) m. to Mimi Agnes Rankin. I believe these grandparents lived across from the egg station in Newbury.

Frank Beaul (changed at some point from Buel) m. Marjorie Montague. I believe Marjorie is still living in Belleville.

Greatgrandparents:

Charles Montague (likely emigrated from Detroit) m. to Mini Babcock. I did find a Minerva Babcock in the 1871 Cencus, b. 1843 (d/o David Babcock and Maranda) living in Mosa at the time of the Census but am not sure if this is
the same person.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have a connection to any of these families.

Thanks.

Grove/Webster Cemetery in London

LOsgerby — 2 Nov 2008 10:43:35 GMT

Does anyone know what happened to the eastern most row of tombstone markers between the first and second readings done by the OCFA? My great grandparents had a marker in the most eastern row after the first reading and by the time the second reading was completed the whole row was gone, including their marker as well as several others. There is a newer apartment building directly to the east of the cemetery. Thanks.

Descendants of John and Elizabeth (Montgomery) Kirkpatrick

thumbody2130 — 21 Jul 2008 10:23:25 GMT

Hi to all.. I have not been on this (or any) list in some time now.. think I burned myself out when I tackled this journey when the farm became a Centennial Farm. We had planned a surprise party for my father-in-law, and I thought it would be nice to have some of the history of the family for him that day. I worked solid for about 5 mo every chance I got, and actually did find a lot, but there was of course some missing information. I decided if I was ever going to solve the questions l still have about this family. I am including some of the facts I did find. If anyone is connected to this family, or has any more info or ideas on how to find some of the missing things I would appreciate greatly hearing from you...I do have much more information on the family if you think you are connected.
Here goes... of course, as it goes some facts may be a little off..
**********************************

John KIRKPATRICK married Elizabeth MONTGOMERY on Jan 13, 1813 in Aghavea, Fermanagh, Ireland.
They immigrated to Ontario, Canada abt 1847 with 2 sons William & Robert. I find the boys in Middlesex Co, where they settled, in the 1871 Census, but have not found the parents AT all. It is said they went to Middlesex via Oxford Co.(West Williams Township History Book)

William KIRKPATRICK(our direct line)was born 3/12/1823 in Ireland. He married Jane WESTNOTT also Born Ireland(AFTER he came to Canada)...I did find her with her mother and brother in Oxford Co in the 1851 census in Norwich Twp., so I figure She and William were then married sometime between 1851 and 1855, when their first child was born. One of their children Robert C KIRKPATRICK states on his marriage registration that he was born in Blenheim.. he was born in 1860.. The family was Ch of England.

William and Jane have 7 children, all born by the time of the 1871 Census;

John Westnott KIRKPATRICK b.1855,
Elizabeth " b. 1857
William Montgomery " b. 1859
Robert Charles " b. 1860
Ann Jane " b. 1864
Richard " b. 1866
James Lethbtidge " b. 1869
I know these children were all born in Ontario, but I am not exactly sure
*Where* in Ontario.. Some I think in Middlesex Co.. Robert says Blenheim on
his marriage Registration.
The West Williams history book Says " John Kirkpatrick and his wife Elizabeth "immigrated to Middlesex County in the 1840's, via Oxford Co.. "
The Norwich and District Archives in Oxford Co did a search, and did not find any of them.

**The earliest census I have seen is 1871, where I found William and his family in West Nissouri(note on Census also says East Middlesex), and I would like to know where they were for the 1851 and 1861 Census if they immigrated in 1847(found on the 1901 census).
I have not seen the 1851 or 1861 census.
*I did find William on the 1891 and 1901 census in the same place..
*The 1901 Census says William immigrated in 1847. His wife Jane Westnott, immigrated in 1829, and she is still with her mother and a brother in the 1851 Census of Oxford CO.
*Williams death notice says "Coming to London in the early forties he engaged in business for some time afterwards settleing on a farm in West Nissouri until his removal to Sylvan."

* * I am wondering if John and Elizageth (the parents) even came over.. If so, I am now wondering if the whole family went to London first, then William moved on... I thought he farmed in West Williams.. Was it once W Nissouri??

**Williams brother Robert stayed in London, and his son became asst. City Engineer there... Robert was a Boot and Shoemaker.
Although William is our direct Ancestor, I am of course also interested in anything on his brother Robert and/or any other member of this family.

*From the 1901 Census states they were Ch of England.

* I would also be interested in the marriage registration of William and Jane as I have not been able to find it anywhere..

Thank you in advance for any info you can give..

Gibson, Knight, Bissett, Deere and Hall in London

SMB — 12 Jul 2008 4:04:59 GMT

Hi all,

I am pressently trying to do a house genealogy, and am seeking further information on the following:

Gibsons:
George, bricklayer
Edward, bricklayer (Probably son of George)
Annie, (Wife? Daughter?)
Mary, (Wife? Daughter?)
They were listed in the house in 1888/89

Knight:
Samuel, Labourer
Listed in 1908/09

In 1916 the house was owned by a George Deere. I have no further information on him.

Bissetts:
John, carpenter
Ira, Shipper with McClary Mfg. (May be son of John?)
They owned the house from atleast the 1920s up to 1939.

In 1959 Donald and Rose Marie Hall were the owners. (I am still trying to fill in the gap between 1939 and 1959.

Any information regarding these families would be greatly appreciated. It's the first time I have attempted to do a house genealogy and it is proving to be quite fascinating.

Thanks for reading!

UPTHEGROVE surname in Ontario in late 1700s

Sharon2491 — 10 Jul 2008 6:00:28 GMT

Nancy Ann UPTHEGROVE born in Ontario circa 1805 married (1837) Dennis KELLEY (or O'Kelley) also born in Ontario circa 1805. According to RootsWeb's WorldConnect the couple had five children, at least one of whom, their daughter Amanda, is known to have been born in Ontario (in Wainfleet Township, Welland County in 1845). Nancy and Dennis at some point moved their family to Wisconsin where Dennis died in 1850 and Nancy remarried.

Looking especially for information on the parents of Nancy and Dennis. I have found a John UPTHEGROVE and Ann OBRAM(?) UPTHEGROVE living in the Niagara area in the late 1700s. They are said to have come over the border from the USA during or immediately after the Revolution. Ann is thought to have some blood relationship to Seneca Chief Cornplanter. From various online sources I found the names of three sons born in Niagara: Abram (born 1776) Peter (born 1779), and Benjamin (born 1785).

Trying to see if there is any tie-in for Nancy to this family...a daughter??? or granddaughter???

Any information would be most appreciated.

I would also welcome any information prior to 1901 if anyone as access to previous census records. I would be most grateful for any information which can be obtained from them.

Rev. William Sutton b. 1844

dbourgault1 — 30 Mar 2008 11:55:20 GMT

I am stumped for information about a Rev. W. Sutton who is buried in Scottsville Cemetery, son of William and Elizabeth. The dates are broken off the stone.
William and Elizabeth (Patterson) of Westminster Twp. had a son William born in 1844. As of 1889, he was deceased, according to the article on Eli Davis (brother-in-law)in "History of the County of Middlesex" published in 1889.
I can find no death record on-line that would correspond to him. I found a William Sutton who married Fanny Cotton in 1877 and had a son John born the same year in Westminster, but there are no other details to confirm this is the same man. He is a labourer, not a "Reverend".
There was also a William Sutton about the same age who died in Essex County in 1875. He was employed as a clerk.
Any suggestions as to where I could look next to sort out these William Suttons?

DAKIN, Alice Myrtle ca 1871, London?

PamTessier99 — 17 Jul 2006 11:45:43 GMT

A very nice, older gentleman, presently living in Florida, told me a story about his mother and I have agreed to look into it for him.
Alice Myrtle DAKIN, born about December 1870 in Canada, left her home in London, Ontario to reside in Mackinac Island, Michigan.
This fellow says she was "quite the lady" who did menial jobs on the Island to which she appeared not to be suited. She married twice,and he is the child of the first marriage.
Many, many years ago, he travelled to London, Ontario to see her family home. He says it was quite impressive and had been made a heritage or historical site. There was a plaque on the wall of the house stating this. He remembers that one of the features of its designation as a historical site, was that "it could not be altered in any way".
I can find very few Dakins in the OVS records and only one Dakin in the 1871 census who might be her father. He is David Dakin, born about 1834 in England and his profession is "engineer". He is living in London City, Ward 5(E). Alice Myrtle will show on this census but I do not have access to the full census return. The 1881 census does not yield any Dakin that would fit Alice's facts. By 1901 she was living in Michigan.
If any part of this story sounds familiar or anyone has knowledge of the heritage homes in London, please contact me.
Thank you,
Pam

Marriage of Patrick Neil and Ann Brooks about 1870 London Ontario

jameslumsden60 — 2 Mar 2008 10:01:57 GMT

Patrick Neil and Ann Brooks were in London for the 1871 census and showed as NEAL and Roman Catholic. The Brooks family lived nearby. In 1881 census they showed as Methodists and they had a number of children whose births have been found in London except the oldest Sarah Jane Neil born in 1869. She is there as a one year old in 1871. The family moved to Toronto about 1890.
I need to find the marriage information and the birth record of Sarah Jane Neil would be nice.
Ann Brooks was born in England but the family lived in London. Patrick Neil (Neill) was a soldier from Ireland who most likely served in the 7th fusiliers militia to 1886.

On page 44, St John's Ward, Adelaide Township, Middlesex County's 1861 census, my wife's great grandfather, Walter Treleaven's family is listed on lines 14 to 17. Across the page from his name is listed his business, a saw mill. On the second line below his business, and across the page from his oldest son is listed an "English Church". Does that mean he gave land for the church? What was it's name? Is there any records from it and where would they be located? Is there still a church there?
