Richard Belchamber deserted his ship and was tried in St.Johns,Newfoundland in May 1815.He was deported back to the UK,then transported to Australia in 1816.Would there be any paperwork available in Canada about the trial.

Nevermind, I found the other Montreal directories on archive.org. Thanks.

Thanks guys.

 

Mary Lou, I did find the 1861-62 Montreal directory entry for Elias, but that was the only one. I had been inclined to believe the family had moved on, until your mention of another 5 years worth of entries. I would appreciate the other entries greatly, thanks.

 

Beverley, yes that is the family. I've since found an obituary for the eldest son Elias William, and it did mention his two brothers George and Thomas having lived in Boston. I traced them to Brookline and another area on the other side of the city.

 

Thank you both!

Death 1866 Montreal, Quebec, Canada

 

Spouse: Jane Morris

Birth 1802 England

Death 1874 Montreal, Quebec, Canada

 

Children: George

Born 1836 Ireland

Death 1 Jan 1913 Brooklin, Mass

Hope this helps,

Beverley.

Hello John,

 I did locate Elias in the Montreal Directories from 1861 - 1866. I can send those entries to you if you like. Please let me know if you want that information.

Regards,

Mary Lou

Thanks Al, but my suscription restricts me to Australian and UK collections. I may have to consider an upgrade, but right now the price increase wouldn't be justifiable.

Hi John Patten;

You mention you have an Ancestry subscription, so you should check out the Drouin Collection.  It has a lot of vital stats records.

Hi, I'm researching a gentleman by the name of Elias MORTIMER (b. abt 1811 England) and his wife Jane (abt. 1811 Ireland). They appear in the 1841 England census for Hastings and later are found in the Quebec census of 1861, sharing a home with their son George and his family (wife Sophie).

 

I'm unable to locate Elias or Jane's deaths or locations after 1861. Their children eventually went to Minnesota (son Elias) and Boston (sons George and Thomas).

My primary research area is Aboriginal Australia, so I'm a little unsure of Canadian resources outside of my Ancestry subscription. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
