John, I am Laurette Guess, my mother was Helen Burns and my grandparents were Jane Henneberry and Joe Burns. My Great Grandparents were Susan McDermott and Patrick Burns from Lovington, IL they are buried in St. Isiadores cemetery. We are stopped there. We haveour link to the Henneberry family but we only know that Patrick Burns was from Northern Ireland, we think possibly Donegal. We have had no luck finding much onSusan McDermott, her father was John and his wife was Catherine, they had farm land next to Patrick Burns. Do you think there might be a connection? I would love to hear from you. Laurette

North Easthope History Book Lookups

freakyboo — 20 Jan 2006 4:56:19 GMT

I have aquired a book called "The Hills Of Home" from my Mother about North Easthope Township. 1827-1997. It holds historical information about families that lived on the land and local buildings in North Easthope. It does contain photographs of people that allowed their ancestor's pictures to be used for the book - some could be yours! It also in some articles gives pictures of the specific lot or houses and buildings on the land. If you're interested in me looking up anything in my book, I'll scan the pictures and either scan the article or type it out and send it to you. Happy hunting!

Lookups for St Mary's

donmclean147 — 6 Dec 2008 6:15:55 GMT

I would really appreciate if anyone from St Mary's could look up newspaper or church records for me.
My g grandmother Charlotte Rivers married Patrick Riley on the 29th April 1880 in St James Anglican church, St Mary's. I believe they farmed in Downie tp.

I believe my grandmother was born shortly after they were married. Her given names were Annie Eleanor.

Patrick Riley died about 1880.
My frustration is that I have never been able to find a birth for Annie or a death for Patrick Riley.
My only hope is that there may be something in church or newspaper records.

Any info would be much appreciated

Thanks

I am hoping someone can help me. I am researching a family of Smiths living in North Easthope in 1851, where they share a log house with a MacGregor family.
The Smiths are Neil and wife Christina and children Alex, Donald, Angus, John and Jane. By 1855 this family has moved to Bruce Co.
I believe Neil died in North Easthope.
Is there any way to pinpoint exactly where they lived in North Easthope and where Neil could possibly be buried.
Neil was my great great grandfather.

Hutchison Family from Stratford Ontario - News Item

The Evening Telegram, Elyria, Ohio
18 October, 1912; page 1

Death Took 4th. Member of a Family of Nine Boys
Amherst, O., Oct. I8
The railroads claimed its fourth victim of a family of nine boys yesterday afternoon when Flyer No. 35, west bound, somewaht late and travelling at high speed, struck David Hutchison, 40, hurling him 150 feet and breaking almost every bone in his body. The impact was so great that the body was almost severed at the abdomen.
The Hutchison family is a railroad family whose home is at Stratford, Ontario. Of the nine boys, eight took to railroading. "This is the fourth brother I've help to take care of," Thomas Hutchison, a brother, employed with the same gang, declared yesterday afternoon as he gazed at the dead man.
Death has nearly wiped out the Hutchison family in the past few years. Walter Hutchiosn, a fireman, "was killed in a wreck on the Grand Trunk road, in July, 1908. Adam Hutchison, engineer, in a Grand Trunk wreck, February 9, 1904, and injured so badly he died before he could be taken to hospital., Jacob Hutchison, engineer, killed outright in Grand Trunk wreck about 20 years ago, sacrificing his life by sticking to the throttle that the passengers under his guidance might live. David Hutchison, structural bridge worker, killed at Amherst, October 17, 1912 by Lake Shore train.
The Hutchison family consists of nine boys and all railroaders except Peter Hutchison, who is a moulder at Stratford, Ontario. The other brother, Robert, is master mechanic of the round house at Stratford; William is railroading at Fort Erie; Harry is a brakeman on the Grand Trunk, and Thomas a bridge worker on the New York Central at Amherst at present. The father, William Hutchison, is a lineman on the Grand Trunk out of Stratford.
The unfortunate man leaves a wife at Buffalo, to which place the remains were shipped this morning. His mother is also living as are two sisters, Mrs. W. Bush, of Buffalo, and Mrs. Joseph Renteen, of Stratford.

Why was Ann Patrick living with James & Sarah Hagerty in 1861 Ellice, Perth

BonniePatrick45 — 9 Jul 2008 3:18:38 GMT

Wonder if anyone knows anything about Ann Patrick, my husband's great great aunt. Ann was born 1841 in New Dublin, Leeds & Grenville (near Brockville) and was on 1851 L&G census. Something happened in the family (mother died?) and the girls went to live with other families - Ann went to Perth to Hagertys, probably as a servant. Ann married Owen Connelly from Ellice in 1861. They moved to Bay City Michigan where they settled and died. Would love to know if anyone has a story in their Hagerty family about Ann Patrick living with the Hagertys in Ellice. I have their whole story in Michigan but would like some details about Ann's early life! Thanks.

He was married to Martha Baker (b. 1818 Petrolia, Ontario-no parents names known) in 1842 in Kincardine. I was told that Nicholas/Nicolas may have come from Perth County. Also, Nicholas/Nicolas Tomlinson has the title "Captain" in front of his name. It is possible he was the captain of a boat? Maybe one that sailed the Great Lakes? Also, family folklore says that he may have immigrated to Canada with a brother. However, I have no info on Nicholas/Nicolas's parents, or siblings, or even which boat he may have captained. ANY help would be so very much appreciated for either Nicholas/Nicolas Tomlinson or his wife, Martha Baker!! Thank you in advance!

Diehl adoption in Stratford

Sandra Falkiner — 16 Mar 2000 12:00:00 GMT

I am searching for my g.g.grandmother who was born in Stratford, ontario about 1845. She came from a family of 6 siblings of Irish descent but her mother was apparently killed in a freak runaway horse accident. We don't know if her father was killed in the same accident but it is a possiblity. Catherine and Christian Diehl adopted her. Her name was Katrina Diehl but it is unlikely that her first name was her biological name since Katrina sounds German. Her adoptive parents were of German descent. I am looking for any info regarding Katrina and was hoping to find connections in any of the families I have listed. I am hoping that perhaps the Diehl famiy bible, if there was one, might have her birth parents listed or brothers/sisters. Any info or assistance would be greatly appreciated since my grandmother is still alive and I would love to share this info with her.

British Home Children sent to Stratford, Ontario - Frank and Fred Green

DawnCoffey08 — 1 Feb 2008 12:41:24 GMT

Hello,

I am hoping for more information on Frederick L Green and his brother Frank Green. They sailed aboard the SS Virginian from Liverpool, which departed May 13, 1914 and arrived in Quebec on May 21, 1914. They were among Mrs. Merry's party.

Frederick was 12 years old when he was placed with a Mr. Thomas Dawes, who was a florist, at 22 Falstaff Street, Stratford, Ontario. In 1916 Frederick was an apprentice cabinet maker and in 1918 he apparently enlisted in the RCHA in Kingston. A relative checked with the RCHA some time ago but they found nothing on him there.

Frank was 10 years old at the time of sailing, he was placed with a Mr. Skinner of North Keppel PO.?

Their mother was Elizabeth Ellen Green, it is believed she later remarried and became Elizabeth Williams. They had two sisters for sure with a possible third.

I am submitting this information on behalf of a relative of Frank and Frederick Green who resides in the UK.

If anyone can help me find more information on them or their families I would appreciate it very much.

Regards,
Dawn Coffey

I just discovered my Smith family on the 1851 census for North Easthope. They consist of Neil & Christian with children Alex, Donald, Alan, John, Angus and Jane, all from the Isle of Lewis.
By 1857 this family is in Bruce Co. The 1861 census reveals that Neil has died, maybe in Perth.
Although Smith is a quite common nmae, there are only two families in this area in 1851.
If anyone can help me out with this family it would be greatly appreciated.

Shoebottom

wilma471 — 16 Mar 2007 2:32:02 GMT

Would someone be able to look up a couple of names for me?

I am trying to find the birth/death dates for this couple to find out if they are the ones that I am looking for.

William M. Shoebottom & Charlotte E. Shoebottom buried in Avondale, Stratford (Block B) Downie Twp Perth County.

I found a death record for a William Shoebottom, Widower, who died 7 Feb 1918 & was buried at Stratford. He died at the Aged People's Home at London ON. There is a William Shoebottom living at Strathford Perth County on the 1901 census. His date of birth is listed as 21 Oct 1842.

The Charlotte (O'Neil) Shoebottom I am looking for was born 16 May 1841 & is supposed to have died 12 Dec 1904. I was looking for her in Middlesex County but maybe this is why I can't find her.

Any help is appreciated.

Herron - Plunkett marriage, Stratford, Perth, Ont. 1864

cdplunkett — 15 Jul 2001 11:36:31 GMT

Hello,
Recently I found out that my great-aunt, Margaret Plunkett married William Herron on May 17, 1864, in Stratford, Perth, Ontario. Both Margaret and William were Irish immigrants. Are 1860 census records for Perth County available? I would like to find more information if possible. Would there have been one Catholic Church in the area at that time? Any information will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Denise
