Hi All, I've discovered some of my Pencil/Pencille family in the 1851 living in Reach Township. Are there any cemetery records online for this township? Looking for John Pencil, Jr. and/or Fanny (Frances?) Jackson Pencil.
John Pencil, Jr. was about 76 yrs old on this 1851 census so I suspect that he probably died in Reach Township. Thanks.

Hi Elizabeth, My great-great grandparents are buried in Gordon Church Cemetery, Angus Cameron and Euphemia Begg. I have photos of most of the stones at St. Elmo. I am sure there is a Campbell or two in the set of pictures. Check this page and scroll all the way down to St. Elmo:

Bob~
I tried to leave a comment on your wall without success.
I'm wondering if we have a connection. I'm descended from Malcolm Campbell, son of Duncan, who emigrated to Canada c. 1802 from Glenelg, Scotland. Malcolm's farm was very near St. Elmo and Charles Gordon's church.
If that rings any bells, I can look up further details.

Hey Myo, Welcome!
I would recommend adding a little more information. There are thousands of Campbells across all of Canada. Mine were from the Stormont and Glengarry counties of Ontario.

Hello Everyone
I am looking for info on Charles Hamilton Carr, arrived Boston, MA Aug. 10, 1885 with his brother Alexander (my gr grandfather). They were going to Halton/Milton, Ontario. I suspect to meet up with their sister Mary Louise Carr Taylor who had married in Oakville in 1883 to Benjamin Handley Taylor.
I have found info on Alexander and Mary Louise from this time forward, but nothing for Charles. He was 14 and Alexander 16 at the time they arrived in North America.
On Mary Louise's marriage certificate, her witness was Flora Adelaide Carr. Another mystery as I have not found this name since.
Alexander's wife was Annabelle Montgomery, descended from Samuel Alexander Montgomery of Mono, Ontario. I can only hope that Charles was also around the Orangeville, Ontario area and I have just missed him by a few years somehow.
Also, looking for anyone searching the Carr name in Ontario - my ancestors are from Galway, Ireland.
