I'm researching my WOODHOUSE ancestors from around Guelph, Wellington Co., Ontario. If anyone has this family connection, I'd love to exchange information with you.

Hi again Mickey (cousin Mickey!). I'm not totally convinced by the Bradt society reasoning :-) The 1861 census for Barton (Wentworth Co.) shows a Stephen Bradt age 22 born Canada with Walter Bradt 66 b USA, wife Elizbeth age 70 and 2 siblings Jacob 23 and Elizabeth 26.

Walter Bradt is not my line. Mine is Maria Bradt who had the illegitimate son Isaac Van Valkenburg aka Vollick. He was a Loyalist in Butler's Rangers. You can read about the Bradt family by clicking on the link in my first post here, also Ryckman.

for Lorine McGinnis Schultz- Lorine, Stephen Bradt's parents (according to the Bradt Society) were Simon Van Antwerp Bradt and Elizabeth Young. (by elimination they say for who was in the area at the time he was born). Simon was the son of Andries Bradt UEL, and Rachel Ryckman. Was your Walter their son also?
Yes, I gave some of Ron's info to him on the Daniel and Margaret children (formal first name for me is Margaret) ! thank you so much. Still trying to sort the Smith's is almost futile.
I think we tie in through the Ryckman's too. I have some indo on them.. Also on the Rymals, whom the Smith's and the Bradts married into I believe. Will have to check that out. Know for sure the Smith's did.

For Mickey McCall - Mickey, I'm a Bradt descendant too. My line daughtered out with Maria Bradt's son Isaac Van Valkenburg aka Vollick, a Loylist in Ontario.

I think we connect through the Ryckman family too. Your Emily Ann's parents were Stephen Bradt and Mary. Were Stephen's parents Walter Bradt and Elizabeth?

One thing you can do when you are stuck on a line, is search the siblings.

So find your Daniel and Margaret's children and search all of them. You may find more info in a death record or obit or marriage or... look for witnesses at marriages, informants at deaths. Remember all those siblings share the same grandparents (who you are trying to find)

Ronald Cox has a nice list of children for Daniel and Margaret, with dates.

Hi I am searching Wentworth Co., and Hamilton Co., for Smith's and Bradts. My Ira Smith and his wife Emily Ann Bradt were born in Wentworth Co, 1866-1868. They went to New York, she died and was buried in Barton Twnsp. He remarried and lived in Rochester with my Grandfather. I do not have any death or burial info on Ira. And I cannot find back any farther on his side than his father and mother: Daniel Smith and Margaret Jane Young.

For genesnoopy: You won't find more than "Ireland" as a place of birth on the census records, so you need to look in other records - their death records (if they died late enough for birth place to be recorded), their children's death records which may list more than Ireland, obituaries, etc. It isn't just death records you should be looking for though.

I had exactly the same problem as you do - trying to find precise locations in Ireland where my McGinnis family were born or lived. See Carnival of Irish Heritage: My Key to Ireland to see how I finally found my Irish ancestors' place of birth. You might also get ideas from Tracking the Elusive Fanny Downey McGinnis.

DYER family settled in PERTH CO., after coming from Ireland, ...includes Owen , Bridget, all their children were born in PERTH CO. looking for info on birthplace of Bridget b. abt 1816 and Owen b. abt 1821...in Ireland...Canadian census records just say they were born in Ireland.

My family line in Ontario is;
Cohoe - Pelham and Norwich, primarily
Willson - Norwich
Plus assorted others!
I just returned from a trip there. The Norwich Archives are great!

My grandmother was Vinetta Tremaine BUTCHART, sometimes spelled BUTCHARD. She was born in Mildmay, Bruce County on May 19, 1889 to Edward Neil BUTCHART and Maria MOYER. Edward was born in Carrick Township in 1863 and Maria, the daughter of Aaron MOYER and Veronica BOWMAN, was born in New Dundee, Waterloo County in 1866. I have a lot of information to share on these families and I'm always looking for more.
