Hello, I'm new to this site, and have no query for now. I live in California, but have done some research on my Ontario roots both on-site and on the www. My great-great grandfather, John Laskey Aunger, a tin-miner from Cornwall, England, came to Canada (Northumberland County) in 1852, and eventually settled in Hastings County, working the iron mines at Blairton. My other Ontario lines that I am following include Brown, Dafoe, Holcomb/Holcombe, Pringle, Schoman/Shewman, Keller, Merriam and Wilde.

Answer for Timothy Hal - Timothy, Montreal is in the province of Quebec so you would be better to post your query in another discussion board as this one is for Ontario. You might also check Quebec Genealogy for help. Your time period (1816 birth) is during the British Regime. Vital statistics are preserved at the Archives Nationales du Québec

Our family is one of the first five families of European descent to have a permanent settlement (1742) in what is known today as Ontario (Windsor, across the Détroit River from Détroit Michigan.

Abigail -- All I can think of right now is Obits or Land Records - that might be most helpful to you

Lorine -- I have searched Frazer by all the variations. On her death certificate and gravestone it is spelled Frazier, but on her marriage license and certificate it is spelled Frazer. I have searched Halton's Historical documents. I did see that their was a Hugh Frazer that owned land but have not been able to connect him to the family. I have also wondered if the names on the death certificate on right. Thanks for the help!

Abigail - re your FRAZER search. You may already have thought of these ideas but in case you have not -- have you checked land records in Nassagewaya for David? I had a quick peek at the 1858 Tremaine Map for that township (which is in Halton Co.) and there is a Hugh FRASER living on Conc 11, Lot 5. Don't forget that FRAZER could be mis-recorded as FRASER, FRAZIER, FRASIER , etc.

I'd check the Abstract Indexes to Deeds for that specific piece of land to see when/how Hugh bought it, who he bought it from and who he sold or granted it to. It is very possible that your David is part of the family. See Searching Land Records in Ontario for more help with this

Also have you consulted the CLRI to see if your David was a first time buyer of land?

I don't know if you have seen Halton's Historical and Newspaper Records online. You can search newspapers, bdm notices, census, cemetery and other records here. It is not the only place you should look for these items but it's a great place to start!

Mickey - How lucky for you that an obit was written for your gg grandmother! If I were you I'd research each of the pallbearers - trace them back to find out how/if they connect to Margaret or her husband. Often pallbearers are family members so you may find the connection you need to Daniel or Margaret by tracing those involved in her funeral.
