I am searching for Katharina Heimbecker Foster, 1848-1939. Husband's first name is unknow. They had 11 children, but their names are all unknown. They may have lived in Grey County. Katharina died in Wellington and was buried at Neustadt.
I am searching for information on a Danny Elliott who would have been born around 1895 or 1900 in England and was known to have been a Northwest Mountie (a picture of him in uniform on his horse existed with some of the family in NY)and could have been adopted by a Canadian family (cannot prove this). I would appreciate any information that anyone has concerning this. Thanks.
My gggrandfather John BEATTIE (b. 1821) married Annie ROBERTSON who was born in Guelph 30 November 1834. She died in Kemble, Keppel Twp. in 1914, buried in the Annan Cemetery. All I know about her family is that she had a brother Alex ROBERTSON who lived in Woodford.
I have so many brick walls that I thought I would start in another direction, possibly with better luck.

Nothing more for descendants, but have Wickens ancestral info if a connection can be made. Two Archie McLeans from roughly the same area getting married at the same time?

I am looking for information on my g-grandfather. On his immigration records found in Sault Ste Marie, Michigan in 1895 he lists that he was born in Tallingham in Grey County. I have also been told by relatives that he was from Meaford. The only thing I can find is that there is no such place as Tallingham in Grey county and I find no record of a Noble Henry Hoath anywhere in Ontario. On Nobles marriage and death certificates it lists his parents as W and Sarah Hoath and as John and Unknown Hoath. I am at a loss as to where else to look. Any suggestions or if anyone has heard of this family please let me know. Thank you very much. Kelly
If you still are looking for Nobel, I found his burial place. He is buried in the Donaldson Presby. Cemetery in Bruce Co, Ont. The plot's transcription is as follows:
Noble H. Hoath 1871-1945 Father with Sarah
Roya E. Hoath 1902-1985 with Thelma
Sarah J. Hoath 1877-1960 with Noble
Thelma C. Hoath 1910-
Hope it helps.

Many thanks.

My great great grandfather is buried in a cemetary in Dornoch, Ontario. I don't know the name of the cemetary. My uncle has visited the gravesite and says the name on the tombstone is Bagan but this could be a spelling mistake as our family name is Beagan. I am looking for anyone who has information on Micheal
B(e)agan who was a farmer in Grey South (sub-district-Normanby)and said he was 66 years of age when the 1871 Census of Ontario was done. He wife was Ann(e)? McParland. Michael was born in north Ireland about 1802? and came to Canada. He and Ann had eight children-Barney, Patrick, james, john, Maurice, Daniel, Elisa and Margaret. Daniel is my great grandfather. Ann was born in south Ireland about 1823 and died in Canada in 1886. I believe she is buried beside Michael and that her marriage to michael may have been her second or third marriage. My family hopes that information about Michael will help us find out who his dad was. His dad stayed in Ireland but we don't know his name. Perhaps someone reading this will have some anecdotal information that will give us more information about Micheal and provide some clue as to where exactly in Ireland did he come from and who his dad might be.
Thank-you

From the book Farmlanes of Bentinck Twp, one Maurice Beagan is buried in St. Paul's Catholic Cemtery. This cemetery is located behind the church in Dornoch. Listing says Maurice Beagan died in 1939. The only other indexed reference to either spelling is a James Beagan who had a business at the Dornoch store site. There is no date given. It says he called it the "Palmer House" after a hotel in Chicago. He did all of the barbering that was done around here at night. During the day he fired the boiler in the sawmill. About 1896 the buildings were destroyed by fire.
Seeking an early picture of the former Mount Zion United Church that was closed in the mid 1940's. This church was situated on Lot 183, Concession 3 in Artemesia Township, Grey County. Its adjoining cemetery is still being utilized today.
Photograph required to complete my family history.
Any details or information would be greatly appreciated.

Grace Lavina Graham came from a well to do family and when she married David, she was disowned.
All of her kids were mulatto and all the kids but my gggrandmother chose to pass themselves off as white and marry white men.
I am looking for any information you can give me.
The attestation papers describe David as being dark skinned, no visible marks on him, stood 5'9" and listed his address at box 186, Collingwood, Ontario.

Would appreciate any information or direction in finding parents, siblings, etc. of Sarah and Lorenzo. Thank you! Bev - MI

THOMAS, Margaret (Armstrong) buried at Stokes Corners, Proton Twp.
by
I have information that my g-grandmother, Margaret (Armstong) Thomas who died December 27, 1883 in Proton Township was buried at Stokes Corners. I cannot locate Stokes Corners on the Atlas of Grey County 1880 and maybe it's the name of a cemetery. Would appreciate any assistance that anyone may have.
Also, if anyone has any information on the family of Joshua Freeman (Sr) Thomas and his wife, Margaret (Armstong) Thomas in Proton Township, it would be greatly appreciated.
William B.Hallock and his brother, Benjamin came to this area from Brockville (Elizabethtown), ONT with the Mallory's prior to the settlement of Meaford. They were residents of Mallory Mills, c 1830. William and wife, Anna Stephenson had 5 children before moving to WI abt 1840.
Benjamin had sons, Benjamin & Caleb for sure. They
stayed in Meaford. These Hallocks need to be identified and tied into parents:
Dow, Walter, b. 1875, Lorenzo, 1877-79, Alfred Dow, Sarah, Frank, Lottie, Junior Ben, George and Clark.
It would seem there are two Hallock families, mine came from Brockville, who are the other and where did they come from?
I am descended from Ben Hallock b.abt. 1814 in Ontario
I recently found out from Bev (descended from Lorenzo Dow Hallock) the 1861 St. Vincent area census lists
Ben Hallock, wife Elizabeth, Children: Caleb, Mary (my
gggrandmother) Ann, Lorenzo D., William, John, Adelein.
1851 census: Ben, Elizabeth, Caleb, Mary, Maria, Ann, James. I have my Mary's death certificate stating her father as Ben born in Ontario.
Looking for information on William Thomson who was born in 1821 and died in 1876. He married a Margaret Dand (born 1843; died 1916) and settled in the Feversham area.
I have recently discovered a connection to Sydenham:
Robert Grierson m. Janet Usher 11 March 1852.
I knew from old documents that Janet and her 3 sisters all went to Canada but this is the first real lead I've had.
I have looked around and managed to find some material online relating to Sydenham, including W. W. Smith's Gazetter and Directory of the County Of Grey for 1865-6, where a Robert Grierson is listed as a magistrate.
I also found Janet & Helen Usher enumerated in the 1851 census in Grey County.
Does anyone else have any tidbits of info that might relate to these people at all?
have info saying that janet grierson b 1817 d 1856 married feb 24 1839 george reid b 1812 d 1890 . lived sydenham twp buried near owen sound any connection?
I am doing genealogy research on my Mother's family. Her father William A. Hood was born Aug 2,
1871, in Sydenham Township Con 2 Lot 26
His father and mother were James & Isabella (White) Hood who also lived on this same property and
James mother was Mary (Cahoon) Hood. She died in approx 1865 in Sydenham Township, Grey Co.
Ontario.
I'm interested in information about the ' the Irish Block'.
The Family History Library microfilm #0982215, "HISTORY OF SYDENHAM TOWNSHIP" has information about the Irish Block. Your James Hood, married to Isabella White was the brother of Robert Hood who married Bridget O'Connor, daughter of John Conner, my gr-great grandfather. I have acquired some information on the Hoods because of this.
Hello Rita - thank you for responding to my query about 'The Irish Block' and it looks like we are definetely related! James Hood would be my Great Grandfather, and yes he had 3 brothers - Robert, William & Thomas - so what does this make us?
My Mother, Ella Mary Gertrude Gibbons (Hood) is the youngest daughter of William A Hood and Julia Mary Hood (Bolger). Her brother John A. Hood started a family tree in 1992 and I am trying to piece it all together. I would really love any information you have about your family & I will pass on any information that I have. Most of my Mom's side of the family live in British Columbia, on Vancouver Island, Westbank, B.C. and in Grimsby, Ontario
Thank you again for responding & hope to hear from you soon (I sent this by email to you also)
I have a James HOOD (b.c1865) and wife, Janet "Jessie" ARMSTRONG (b.1866) who were both from the Irish Block of Sydenham twp. They later moved to Fort Dodge, Iowa. Their children were - Arthur, Esther, Pauline, Christena, Oswald, Janet & Joseph. Does this James fit into the family you are researching?

What other information do you have on John McCallum? My grandmother had a brother John Fawcett McCallum. I have a copy of this birth certificate. His parents were Neil and Elizabeth (nee Fawcett). The family lived in Bentinck, Grey County, Ontario. He was still in Bentinck in 1891. I wasn't able to find him in the 1901 census.

I hope this helps. Please let me know.
In the mid 1800,s Andrew and Helen Dodds lived in Hensall, Ontario where they had 7 children, James, Robert, Margaret, Janet, John, Mary and Helen.

Hi Ralph, Stedaman Bebee and family appear in 1871 and 1881 Census for St. Vincent Township. Steadman (Gleadman) and wife appear in Meaford 1901 census. Aaron with with Phoebe Doran and family appear in St. Vincent 1901 census. I was unable to find burials for any Bebee in Meaford or area. Would like update of descendants of Steadman Bebee. Where did they move to?
I have been trying for two years in obtaining a death certificate for my 2ggfather, Rueben Cronk dying in Grey County, in 1900. Could anyone there tell me if the county of Grey, keeps a copy of death certificate some where in County records or is all sent to Ontario records. I can't get anything out of any Ontario records and was just wondering if the County of Grey keeps these type of records. Thanks for anyone who will answer.
Hello Jim:
There must be records kept in Grey County. My nephew got a copy of my grandmother's Medical Certificate of Death. I am not sure at what office he got it, but it was in Owen Sound. She died in 1925.
I just saw your post about obtaining a death certificate, and was wondering if anyone has been able to help you with this. I just checked the death index, and I find a Rueben Cronk died in Meaford on January 27, 1900. If you do not already have the certificate I can help you to obtain it. Please let me know.
I have a new email address for all the queries I have placed for Grey County, Ontario. The families are for Bowerman, Blanchard, Cronk, Lynch, Graham. Thank you.

Looking for ancestors of Hugh Young b 1838 m 1865 S.V.T. d 1907. M to Mary Ann Whitelaw. I have all her info, none of his. Must be cousins out there?
Bev.
I am a descendant of the Young's from Holland Twsp. There are about four of us researching the original four brothers (Samuel, William, James, Thomas) that came from County Armagh, Ireland circ 1847. Their mother Eliza (Morrison) Young and another son David joined them in 1851. In all our research of census's etc., we always run across Hugh, and have wondered if he fit in this family. In Eliza's letter of reference from the Aghavilly Parish, it stated she was coming to Canada to join her five children already here. We can only account for four. We don't know if the fifth was a daughter or a son. If it was a daughter, she might show up in the census' under her married name. Just thought I would connect with you on the off chance.
I am researching the Young name also. The first I can find mine is Bentinck, Grey Co. 1853. John born 9/14/1830. married to Margaret McIntyre 12/06/1853. A thomas young is found near by so I assume this is a brother. On the 1861 census a "Lunitic or Idiot" named Rachel lives with him. {Probably deaf or something like that}. So, John, Thomas and Rachel were probably siblings. I do not know where they came from or any other names. Parents poss. John or William Young married to Kate Malloy. I am stuck and do not know how to research back from 1853. I think they were just leasing and did not purchase the property in Bentinck. In my perusals I have seen the name Hugh Young but can not make a connection. Can you?
I am the great-granddaughter of John and Margaret and am also trying to find their parents. I expect you are correct that Thomas, John and Rachel are siblings and I am hoping to find written proof of this. In the 1851 census for Albion, Peel Co., Thomas, John and Rachel are living (along with a widowed Elizabeth Young) with their parents, James and Catherine Young (Catherine's maiden name was Mulloy.)
An Ann McIntyre is living with John and Margaret in Bentinck in the 1861 census. She is from Carrick. There is also an Ann McIntyre buried in St. George's cemetery (1846-1869) - would this be the same person? Perhaps so. John and Margaret's daughter, Kezia (d. 20 Mar 1862) is also buried there.
Perhaps you could email me directly and we could exchange info?
Hi Irene, I believe we may share the same relatives. My gggGrandmother was Lavinia Ann Young who was the daughter of James and Catherine Young [Milloy/Mulloy].She married Jacob Parsons on Sept. 17, 1834. I also believe that my gg grandfather George Wilson's step father James Young may have been related to Lavinia. There is a great similarity among the names of the children. Do hope there is a connection. I have pictures of Catherine, Lavinia and Lavinia's daughters. My mailing address is box A120, R.R. #1 Coldwater, Ont. L0K 1E0. My phone # is [705] 686-7309. Hope to hear from you.
Amazing how all families carried the same names. One of the original Young brothers was named John (but he did not emigrate, died in the war). At this point I see no connection, but who knows. Our William married a Curtis, so there is no connection there. Is interesting your mention of Peel, as our William was in Peel in the 1850s. So for now we keep searching. Am really hoping to find out the 5th child who was already in Upper Canada when the mother (Eliza) emigrated in 51.
Working on the Wickens / Dobson / Moore / Thompson line in the Beaver Valley. Have descendents of Wm. Moore & Ann Holt, Percy Dobson & Ann Moore, Thomas Wickens & Emily Hurd, Charles Wickens & Martha Thompson. There will be more relations in the area but that's as far back as I can go - to the mid 19th century. As usual, any info would be appreciated.
I have also been working on this. Appears that Wickens and Hurd were Great Great Great Grandparents. Have a clear picture of later generations but would like to move further back. Have you any updates??

I'm anxious to share info with you!

searching for ancestors or information on John Fadden who married Emma Davis and settled in Grey County, Markdale around 1895 to 1930. They where originally from Brome Que.and
Leeds County Ont.
My gandfather, Danel Allan Boyd, came from Glowgow, Scotland in the 1890's and lived with his uncle (name unknown) in Owen Sound. In 1906, he married Margaret Jane Masson, a daughter of Judge James Masson of Owen Sound, and moved to British Columbia. I would be interested in learning more about his family, as I understand a large number of the Boyd family still resides in Grey County.
Hello. My ancestors came from Oxford, England and settled in Grey County (St.Vincent and Keppel Townships) in the early 1840s, therefore they are likely not related to your predecesors. There are still a number of them in the vicinity so be aware of the separate families.
