That sounds interesting Lisa, I have gone thru census in Renfrew and big church there, that was a while ago, i go thru it every now and again, but dont find anything. I was wondering if it be worthwhile to join the Ottawa valley gen society, maybe even the Pontiac one. I dont know, will keep trying myself I think for a bit. Thank you for your help Lisa.

Absolutely no problem, I am glad you are helping me with your experience. And the lady on the website you sent, researches in Quebec so must read and speak french, So is two thumbs up in my book. lol, am keeping her site and writing her. also, East Twps up toward Montreal is how I see it, and many from Ireland and wherever, landed in Montreal and came down or went in to Ontario.

Hi Lisa, Pontiac County is not in the Eastern Townships, they are south east and Pontiac Cty is south west. Pontiac county is in the Outaouais region, just across from Ottawa. But this lady in the Eastern townships might have access to records that I never heard of! So is a good thing and i will hang on to her. Thank you

I have a bit of my tree on Ancestry, a little thing abt that i dont understand tho. Otherwise there is that tree already on genweb i think it is. Although that looks to be from the initial one Homer started, so not up to date like mine. Maybe I should make a new one but I dont know how.

I have not seen this web site before. She is over there and would certainley know where to search or have access to records that I don't. I will use this for sure.

hi Lisa, do not think these Mannings are mine, none of the names look familiar and Tom's dad said Mary's mother came from Ireland. I think the name got changed in English, maybe it is Manny or variation of it.

Those are the trees that were put up and nothing was verified. I am putting up new ones on ancestry, verifying everything this time. I want to be able to write a family history for my daughter and know that the information is correct. And thank you again for all the information. Do you keep hard copies of your information??

Hi Lisa, I appreciate your help, it is very kind of you. These Hamilton's get me so frustrated sometimes. I think, that Wm John Hamilton died in Quebec, becaue that is the last place I have him on the 1881 census, but Sheenboro Que. is so close to Renfrew, Ontario is hard to say really. The story in the family is Wm. was a carpenter and left home to work someplace else and never came back. But, the only job I have found Wm doing is farmer. He never owned land always worked on someone elses. I keep hunting thru the census! :)

Hi Lisa, thank you for your help. That is not my Wm John Hamilton. I have him in the 1881 census in Sheenboro Que. in the 1891 census his wife Mary Manning is listed as a widow and her and the children are living with relatives in Sheenboro. I have never heard of Seeleys Bay but I suppose anything is possible!

Lisa....Do you know where I can find older newspaper archives but specifically obits from about 1909?

Lisa, If you do find something in the Cumbria archives I might be able to have a look - it won't be soon but I need to go back there to chase some of my Alnwick [surname] relatives.

Hi thanks, Bridget immigrated here in 1889 according to one census, her son was born in 1893. Edward Bernard, WW2 registration says Edward Patrick Bernard all the records from 1900on say she was a widow. I am trying to find out where and when she lived with her husband Bernard. we know it was before 1893 so he had to die between 1893 and 1900 because the 1900 census had her in Pittsburgh with 7 year old son edward and she was listed as a widow then.

I have tried to attach the image, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Hay Lisa, Just like to thank you for all of your help. I now know because of you that my grandmother real mother was not Olive B. Davidson but Josephine Parker. Josephine died when my grandmother was every young, that's why she put down Olive as her mother. Again, Thank you. I still don't understand the Murray . My sister said granny was married before she married Grover H. Rickman for a short time. But I can't find it. There wasn't any children from the first marreig.
