I am looking for information on brickyards that were operated by Sam(uel) Wright in Proton Station and Henfryn (dates unknown). Sam (b. 1872) was my great-grandfather and was married to Annie Pollock d/o George Pollock and Sara? (or Margaret) of Egremont Township. Sam and Annie had 5 children: Carl, Elsie, Myrtle, Ila, and Arthur.
Sam and Carl ran a coal company in Markdale for a time (again dates unknown) and eventually Sam moved to Hamilton, Ontario and worked for Canadian Pressed Brick.
Any information that you can provide on any of these matters would be greatly appreciated.
