I'm looking for information regarding the death year of Moses &/or Anne Wall of Bentinck Township. Moses Wall was born around 1806 and had come from Tipperary County, Ireland before 1823 (possibly 1819). He was the father of Henry Wall & others. There is another Moses Wall in the Kincardine area but that is another family. I'm only looking for death-realted information on the Moses Wall of Bentinck Twp. I suspect the deaths occurred after 1860 --- they were originally Anglicans but may have attended Methodist churches by 1850s.
Thanks.
Farmlanes of Bentinck Township has an excellent section of the book that lists the inscriptions for some of the cemeteries in the Bentinck Township/Durham area. On page 816 there is a listing for Moses Wall died January 17, 1864 at age 68 years. This Moses Wall is buried in St. George's Cemetery also known as Switzer Cemetery which is located on Lot 16 Concession 1 NDR, Bentinck Township. The are also listings for other Wall family members.
There is an article with pictures of Wall family members on pages 499 and 500 of this book as well. The article is mostly on the Henry Wall family, and says that he was the son of Moses and Anne Wall who had come from Tipperary before 1823. Hope this helps.

A 21 year old James Wall was staying on property owned by Moses Wall & his wife Ann according to the Agricultural census of 1851. James was said to be from outside of Bentinck Township. Does anyone have information on this James Wall (born ca. 1830) living adjacent to Moses & Ann Wall? Death? Marriage? Living on the same lot and concession in 1851 with James Wall, was James Botteril & his wife (aka Maria Wall).

The information I have is this:
John McClean (1798-1902)married to Agnes Martin had a son William (1821-????) married to Eliza. They came to Canada in 1855 and settled in Annan. They had three children Sarah (1856-????), Elizabeth (1859-?????) and William J. (1864-????). This information is from the 1901 Canadian census.
I have just started trying to find information for my mother's family and am working on an inquiry. Her mother (Margaret Ransom) married Robert McLean, probably in Owen Sound. I have my grandfather, Robert's death date (Sault Ste Marie, Ontario in 1964, from an obituary, but am waiting (and hoping) for his death certificate to be sent to me. Since my mother and I are in the USA I am not sure if that will be a problem. My mother believes he was 81 when he died, which would place his birth in 1883.
When I saw the dates for your Robert McLean I wondered about the remote possbility that he might be a grandson?
My great grandfather Robert Mitchell moved to B.C. at the turn of the century for health reasons. He was born in Thornbury of a family of orchardists, producing apples. Would appreciate any family history. His grandfather or father came from Scotland.
Randy,
George Mitchell was a prominent businessman and apple grower in the Thornbury area. If you contact the L.E. Shore Memorial Library in Thornbury there should be material available about Mitchells. The apple processing plant and warehouse are still standing, although not use as originally intended.Good luck.

Because the Mitchell name showed up on my family tree recently, I have been collecting information on the family you are interested in.
The following is a short review of what I have to date.
Alexander Mitchell was born in the Lowlands of Scotland, December 1817 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. He married Mary Gillespie in about 1847 and settled on a homestead north of Heathcote, Ontario around 1848.
The 1881 Canadian household census for Collingwood Township, in the county of Grey East, Ontario District 155B Division #1, on page 21 records his household as number 95+. It lists him as farmer and bailiff.
His older sons had their own families by this census, and the oldest,Lieutenant John G. Mitchell was one of the early military men in the area. He became one of the most important individuals in the development and success of the fruit industry in the Township of Collingwood.
When the Ontario Government established experimental fruit station in the province, he was given a contract to continue his experimental orchards. In the late 1800s he was growing a wide range of fruits, such as cherries, peaches, pears, plums, raspberries and gooseberries as well as different varieties of apples.
The 1881 Canadian household census for Collingwood Township, County of Grey East, Ontario, District 155 B, Division #1, on page 23, lists his household as #112.
In 1905, John G, his brother George, and other fruit growers in the district formed a cooperative fruit marketing company which was named the Georgian Bay Fruit Growers Association.
The Mitchells always dominated the company and sons and grandsons guided it to great expansion during the years to follow.
I am interested in Robert Mitchell's relationship to this family.
I have information on other members of the family and would be glad to share it with you, if you can provide an email or snail mail address.
Am research my GGrandmother Effie (Sinclair) Ross. She married Robert James Ross around 1861 in Chatsworth, Ontario, (Grey County)then moved to Ingelwood to raise their family
Would be pleased to receive any information or advice regarding sources for research.

Looking for any information on Henry Weaver who married Frances Jane Wright. They had a son Percy Weaver, born 1893 in Brooke, Sarawak TWP. I am also interested in knowing what regiment Percy might have served in. He was in the service in 1916 when he married Alice Dixon in Owen Sound.
My husband's uncle Roy Alexander Mohrhardt was born in Tara, Ontario in 1919. When his mother Bertha (Locke)Mohrhardt died in 1931 while working at Alex Leslie's farm in Derby Twp. he & his sister & brother were orphaned. The Leslie's buried Bertha in their plot in Greenwood Cem. in Owen Sound. Then the children lived with their grandmother Mary Anne (Downey) Locke, Doig in Tara until she died in 1933 and they were separated and a family by the name of Banks took Roy into their family and educated him and treated him well. I'm not sure if they ever actually adopted him. I haven't been able to find any info on them but would like to know the story to add to our family tree.

I would like to correspond with anyone familiar with the history and genealogy of the Proctor family in Grey County. What I know is sketchy at this point: My great great grandfather was William Proctor. He was survived by his wife Mary Webb who passed away on 27 April 1930 in her 85th year. The funeral service was held at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Richard Solomon, on Gershom St., Meaford, Ontario, on Tuesday the 29th and at the Thornbury Baptist Church. Internment at Union Cemetery, Thornbury, Ontario. Their children included my great grandfather Edward Thomas Proctor (a.k.a. Thomas Edward) who may have been born on 21 Oct. 1868 in Kimberly, Ontario (Township of Euphrasia, Grey County). According to the 1901 census his birth date was 11 Oct. 1869. The Ontario Archives Marriage Register (MS 932, Reel 80, Registration # 010969) says he was 24 on the date of his marriage to Agnes McKillican on 21 Feb. 1893 in Alliston, Ontario. His siblings may include four brothers (Jonas, Louis, Bill of Alberta and George of Georgetown) and two sisters (Mrs. Richard Solomon and Mrs. John Randle). Both Edward and Jonas or Joe moved to northern Ontario and are buried in the Webbwood Ontario area.
My husband's uncle Ted (Edward Arnold) Teed b in Duncan in 1906 married Velma A. Proctor. They are buried in Thornbury-Clarksburg Cemetery in Collingwood. I don't know her parents names. I attended Perth Collegiate with a Wade Proctor in late 1950's. My William Moore ancestor married Mary Proctor in Tyrone, Ireland in mid 1700's. If any of these names connect please let me know.
i was able to finally get up to meaford, ontario, lakeview cemetary. i found a grave for marion chambers/heipel, her stone has a beautiful photo of her and the dates 1922-1997. i wonder if anyone can help me find her relatives in either meaford or owen sound. i believe she was my fathers aunt, my aunt marion was also named after her. thank you,

John Udell b. Circa 1833-35 Grey County, Ontario, Canada
by
I have been searching for years for John Udell. All I know is that he was born in Grey County, Ontario around the early 1830's(possibly 1833-35). Married Emma Collins (unknown where), moved to Michigan (unknown when) and died in Michigan 1879.
I realize this isn't a lot to work with, but hoping a resident Grey County expert might offer some guidance.
I just found your request for information on John Udell Grey County Ontario. I have a John Udell in my family, I don't know if this is the same person or not. John Udell was born 1835 or 1836. He Married Isabella Blakey May 5 1854 in Uxbridge Township. They had at least 3 children. 1. Henry Udell born 1856 2. Katherine Udell born 1859 and 3.Silas Udell born May 28 1862.
We do not have any information on where John or Isabella ended up. We know all 3 children lived in Osprey Township Grey County.
This may be the same people as Isabella's Sister Angleine Married David Hamlin and moved to Worth Towship Michigan about 1850. Please let me know if this is possibly the same people.
Researching marriage record of CATHERINE (Healy) JACKLIN in Egremont Twp., to JOHN CRONIN/CROMAN. This would have been between 1861 and 1885.

I am reading a death notice from 1933 of a person who lived in Bentinck Township, on the Durham Road near Vickers, at the Rocky Saugeen. The family happens to be Wilson & Wiggins. My question is where is this located on the road to Hanover or on # 6 Highway heading for Chatsworth from Durham, Ont.
I am Interested in obtain a copy ot the Bentinck Township Book. Where could a person Purchase one.
David R. Bradey
David - The location is in Bentinck on Highway 4 heading toward Hanover. Vicker's Corners is about halfway between Durham and Allan Park.
There is a map in the book Farmlanes of Bentinck which shows the exact location of Vickers Corners. This book can be purchased - at least as late as September 2003 - in a bookstore right on the main street of Durham just before you go up over the river, on the right hand side of the road. I believe it can also be purchased through the Grey County Archives on their website and it may be available through Global Genealogy in Milton if that is closer.
My husband is a Wilson descendent and Fred Mott and I have been exchanging information for a number of years. He sent me your file, and I have a few questions. Please e-mail me and we can talk.
Thanks for your directions on Vicers Cornors. After I posted my message, I fund Fred Motts Map which helped a lot of the Durham area. I will be e-mailing you direct.
I have the paper death notice for Mrs. James Wilson ( Mary Wiggins).
E-Mail me direct.
