Wisa Wasa School, North Himsworth

klawrence34 — 15 Oct 2004 8:42:48 GMT

I'm looking for information on "Wissa Wasa" (it was spelled with two s's in the picture) school in North Himsworth Twp, Parry Sound District. My grandmother, who is still living at 100 years, attended this school in 1910 as a small girl. I have a photo of the school showing 27 students and the teacher. There is a sign in front of the students with the words, "Wissa Wasa - 1910". This was probably a country school, close to the town of Callander, as they farmed in the district and later moved into town where my grandmother's grandparents resided. Any information about this school would be appreciated.

Dear Folks:
The Muskoka and Parry Sound District Message Boards have been separated. As you may or may not know, the two Districts are separate entities.

The old Messages from when the Boards were joined, are in the Parry Sound Message Board.....so the messages have not been lost.

Both Message Boards are "gatewayed" to the Rootsweb Mailing lists....so when a message is placed here in the Message Board, it will automatically be posted to the Mailing List.

Good luck with your research........Murray

Samuel James Alberta - looking for information

dloach_1 — 5 Jan 2008 3:13:26 GMT

I'm primarily looking for information on Samuel James Alberta (also seen spelled Albearta), as well as his family. He is believed to have been born September 1899 to William and Anastasia Alberta in Port Arthur, Ontario. The 1901 and 1911 Census indicate the family was living in the Parry Sound District (Himsworth Township). At some point the family moved to New Liskeard, and at least the father (William) returned to Parry Sound in 1917. Samuel is believed to have worked briefly at an explosives factory before enlisting with the 162nd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in January 1916. He was subsequently killed in action while serving with the 52nd Battalion on June 29, 1917.

Any information on Samuel in particular and the family in general would be greatly appreciated.

Parr family

jejade — 29 Aug 2007 2:57:10 GMT

I was wondering if anyone is able to attend at the Parry Sound Public Library and would be willing to see if there are any newspaper (North Star) articles (BMD notices) for a great uncle of mine, Thomas Parr, Jr. and his family. I live in Hamilton and it would be about a 4 hour drive for me to go up to the library, and I don't want it to be a wasted trip. From what I understand, there is a name index available up to 1965.

From what I am able to determine so far, he was a railway man and lived in Parry Sound for a number of years.

Any help would be appreciated.

Catherine SYLVESTRE and Alexander MCKAY of Ontario

lalonder1 — 19 Aug 2007 4:45:54 GMT

Looking for the parents of this couple. According to the 1881 Canada census for Muskoka Co, Ontario, Catherine was born about 1833 in Ontario and was of french descent. She is listed with her children but not her husband Alexander McKay. Their children were Edouard, Alexander, John, James, William, Elizabeth (my great grandmother), Agnes, and David. At least 2 children were born in Penetanguishene, Simcoe Co, Ont and some of the children were married in Byng Inlet, Parry Sound Co, Ont. Most records for the children were found in parish records of Wikwemikong Mission on Manitoulin Island (there was a "travelling" Jesuit there), but I haven't been able to find the marriage of Catherine and Alexander. Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Johnston Family

moonsnstars81 — 15 Aug 2007 2:29:00 GMT

The Mary I am looking for (my paternal grandmother) gave birth to my father, William Osborne Johnston in 1928 (later adopted by my great grand parents on Dad's side--Samuel George and Mary Margaret Allen nee Dodd) as Mary could not look after him--or I guess thought he'd have a better shot at life elsewhere. I have always thought my grandmother to be native and have been looking for confirmation. I always thought Mary's Mom was Rose James.Mary would most likely have been born just before the turn of the century--she was 'older' when she gave birth to my Dad--say maybe 30 or 35. She was rumoured to have had one other daughter that I know of and I think her name was Selma. If it wasn't her daughter, then it was the name of her sister.

When Mary gave Dad up for adoption (1929)--she moved to the Thessalon area which is close to Sault Saint Marie. My grandmother was with a man (before my grandfather) who was killed in the mines in Capreol and she met my grand father because he drove the horse and wagon that carried her husband's body from the train station in Byng Inlet. She was said to have lived on Station Road. I have searched cemeteries in both Byng Inlet and nearby Britt in person, and have found nothing.
I've been under the impression that Mary's Mom was named Rose James.
Anyone with information please email me jessica8080@hotmail.com THANKS

I am searching for any information on my mom's grandmother and her family. All that I have is what I remember being told as a child and bit's and pieces I've been able to pick up that seem to fit. Her maiden name was Euphemia Watts.
She had a sister and brother Frank Watts b.15 Jul 1879, Mary Watts b.24 Apr 1881.
Her married name was Sullivan, I don't have my great grandfathers first name. They had 4 children that I know of, John b. 10 Jan 1890, Clarence b. 8 Oct 1891, Edwin b. 12 Nov 1893, and my grandmother Lucille (Lucy) 15-16 Oct 1895. My mother was born in Parry Sound as well , she mentioned years ago something about a fire and all the records being destroyed, and I didn't think anything at the time. My mom is gone now and I think what a fool I was. I have no information on my moms side of the family at all and the sad part is there are no living relatives to help. What a twit I am.
Sorry for the long post.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreacite it, you have know idea.

Bryan Bartle (sometimes Burtle)

JeremyRobert_Parsons — 25 Feb 2007 9:23:51 GMT

Hi

my ancestor Bryan Bartle, a carpenter from Nottinghamshire, UK lived in the Muskoka/Parry Sound area from about 1872 until his death in 1874. His death (under the name Bryan Burtle) was registered at Parry Sound in December 1874. Bryan was drowned and his wife and daughter returned to England where his descendants still live. I wonder if there are any newspapers that might cover a drowning in the area or any other information that might help me find out a little more about him. He was living in Brockville at the time of the 1871 census so moved to the Parry Sound area sometime after that. His daughter was born in Muskoka in about 1872/3.
Thanks for any help you can give

My GG Grandfather was William Rowe (born 1836 in England) and his wife was Mary Elliott (also born 1836 in England. They emigrated to Canada from England in 1857. I am descended from his son Thomas Nathaniel Rowe born 1870 in Whitby Twp., Ontario County, Ontario. I only have personal knowledge of one of my G-Grandfathers brothers Alfred or Fred Rowe born 1869. I have only recently discovered that the family had been living in Pickering / Whitby area in the 1871 Census of Ontario County, Canada and as a result I have also discovered a number of siblings of my G-Grandfather Thomas Nathaniel Rowe. I am looking for the decendents of Sarah E. Rowe born @ 1857, Ema Jane Rowe born @ 1861, John H. Rowe born @ 1865, Charles Rowe born @ 1867 and Alfred or Fred Rowe born @ 1869. The older generation William Rowe and Mary Elliott were living with Fred and Thomas in Sprucedale, McMurrich Twp., Parry Sound District by 1901 however I don't know what happened to the others if they went north to Parry Sound District or stayed in Ontario County.

Henrietta (nee Corrigan) Morrison 1854-1885.

Esther — 11 Jun 2006 7:19:01 GMT

Henrietta Corrigan was born to Robert Corrigan and Catherine Moreton on November 16, 1854 in St-Sylvestre, Lotbiniere County Quebec.

She was married to Angus Morrison (William & Johanna Mckenzie) on January 20, 1874 in Muskoka Township. Angus and Henrietta were married in the house of Mrs. Catherine Moreton Corrigan (brides mother).

Henrietta and Angus had four children : Robert, Barbara, William and Belle.

Henrietta died November 14, 1885 and buried in the North Reay Cemetery Muskoka.

After Henrietta died, Angus then married Caroline Taylor about 1890 and had Clara and Gordon.

Henrietta's father Robert Corrigan died November 1855 St-Sylvestre Lotbiniere County Quebec and her mother Catherine Moreton died January 21, 1894 and buried in the St-Paul Anglican Cemetery, Draper Township. Catherine is buried along with two grandchildren : Edith Edna and Edward Thomas.

All that said, I would be very much intereted to get in touch with anyone researching these Corrigans who were originally from St-Sylvestre, Lotbiniere County Quebec.

I have a distant connection to Edward Corrigan (Robert's brother) through his wife Eleonore Doonan.

Is there anyone else on earth researching these Corrigans?

Please feel free to drop me a line if you have info on Edward Corrigan (died June 16, 1857 in St-Jean-Chrysostome, Levis County Quebec).

Thanks,

Albert Pollock of Parry Sound? James Pollock and Mary Ellen Hardys son

Sharon Fluney — 6 Oct 2006 3:21:47 GMT

I am wondering where Albert Pollock is in the 1901 and the 1911 census? I cannot find them . It is possible that Harriette Drew( I have the marriage info. and her marriage to Robert Spring, also)was his wife. In the marriage information, for Albert, it said that his parents were James Pollock and Elizabeth Hardy. It should be Mary Ellen Hardy, but this is close. As Harriette was a widow, in Oct.1920, Albert has died proir to this time, but where and when? There were 2 children: James Frederich Pollock-born Nov.15,1905 @ Parry Sound , and Albert Thomas Pollock-born SPT.30, 1903, also at Parry Sound,Ont. I am hoping that there may be descendants, or someone who can assist? Thanks.

Albert Pollock of Parry Sound Dst., Ontario -James Pollock & Mary Ellen Hardys son-Durham Co., Ont.

Sharon Fluney — 6 Oct 2006 3:29:48 GMT

Albert Pollock probably has passed away before 1920 , as ?wife Harriette Louisa Drew remarried in 4 Oct.1920, at Niagara Falls, if this is her.The parents names are the same for both marriages : Fred Drew and Sarah Jane Houtie.Harriett was a widow, and married Robert Spring.

I am wondering is someone may know where Albert Pollock is buried, and where Harriet Spring is buried? Thanks.

Would appreciate help in finding information on the birth of Florence Mary Matthews in Ontario in 1904. Her parents names were Edward Matthews and Cecilia Labatte and they had a son, Edward William Matthews, born in French River in 1902. Between the birth of Florence and the birth of their next child Cecil in 1905 --the family moved to Calgary . Florence went on to marry Harry McLean --maybe in British Columbia --but again I do not have any info on marriage place or date. They had two children Edward and Barbara. I believed Florence died in the Trail, B.C. area.
Would appreciate any help you can provide on the birth, marriage and death of Florence.

The US Census, Michigan, shows that he and his wife were married about 1880 (no idea where yet).

Death Records

carrolann2 — 2 Dec 2006 1:58:29 GMT

Looking for death records for James Payie (possibly William James) and Julie Ann (Julien) Payie, children of John Payie and Ann Whelan, who settled at Carling Twp. approx. 1875. Early census lists their surname as Paye.

James b. 1859, Clarence Creek last appeared on 1891 census with his brother, Nelson, under name Pye. He was still alive in 1895 as he was witness to an event at Parry Sound & Missions Church, Parry Harbour. I can't find him after this date.

Julie Ann b. 1857, Clarence Creek last appeared on 1881 census with parents & siblings under surname Paye with the family of Samuel Hare. (It has been determined that Samuel Hare was not the head of this household - someone recorded this information incorrectly).

Also looking for the parents of a William James Paye, died June 6, 1881, aged 24yrs. 6mos. He is buried at Hillcrest and although the headstone and Logan's Funeral Home list him as Paye, the Gravemarkers Gallery has him recorded as Pate. I have the records from Logan's and Hillcrest Cemetery but they have no other information.

Can anyone advise me on how to go about finding the identity of a William James Payie who is listed on ArchiviaNet Western Land Grants 1870-1930. The file reel number is listed. Does anyone know if this film will tell me who this person is?

Many thanks for any assistance.

Here's my situation: I am trying to figure out what happened to a member of my family who married and stayed in Canada when the rest of the family moved to the U.S. She is listed in her mother's obituary as "Mrs. Catherine Melsapp" but I think it's probably Millsap. I found a Catherine Millsap on the 1881 census in Muskoka and I am hoping to find something that can tell me her maiden name so I would know if this was the right person. Are there any web sites that might contain that kind of information in this area, or can anyone tell me where I could look (without actually traveling to Canada)? I also found a site that listed the day this person died and was buried (It was in Alberta) so if that information would help I have that available too.

TAYLOR, John Henry (b. 1848); PRESTON/WILKINS; Heckmondwike, Yorkshire > McKellar/Parry Sound

nolanjewell — 9 Jan 2006 11:20:43 GMT

I am looking for ancestors or descendants of John Henry Taylor (b. abt. Apr. 29, 1848 - d. June 30, 1920), who grew up near Heckmondwike, Yorkshire, England. I believe John Henry's father was John Taylor (b. abt. 1795 in Heckmondwike).

The son, John Henry Taylor (b. 1848) married twice. His first marriage was to Hannah Preston on August 18, 1870, in Wicklow, Northumberland, Ontario. John Henry Taylor and Hannah Preston had two daughters, Sarah Hannah Taylor (b. in Ontario) and Rachel Ann Taylor (b. abt. 1873 in Batley, Yorkshire). Rachel Ann Taylor Married Archibald Robinson Jackson, and their family lived in Parry Sound.

Unfortunately, Hannah Preston died prematurely and John Henry Taylor married his second wife, Hannah Wilkins (b. 1850 in Irechester, Northampton), likely abt. 1878. They had four children: Basil (b. 1879 in Batley, Yorkshire), Fred Lawson, Albertha and Mary Louise (b. 1886). In 1881, John Henry Taylor lived with Hannah Wilkins, in the hamlet of Staincliffe (Lower) in Batley, Yorkshire, England.

In 1882, John Henry, his second wife and children travelled from Batley, Yorkshire, across the Atlantic to Canada and lived for some years in McKellar, in the County of Parry Sound, Ontario. The family then returned to Heckmondwike later on where John Henry worked in a woollen mill.

Fred Lawson Taylor (b. Aug. 12, 1881 in Heckmondwike - d. 1969) returned to Parry Sound, Ontario and married his wife there, Alice Lillian North on June 23, 1906. Fred L. Taylor and his wife then went to Saskatchewan to homestead in 1908.

If you have any information or are related, please provide whatever information you have.
