IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND 1800 - 1900 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO VOLUME 1 - FRONTENAC COUNTY COMPILED BY RUSS WALLER INTRODUCTION CHOOSING A TITLE FOR THIS SERIES OF BOOKS WAS SOMEWHAT OF A PROBLEM. SINCE CANADA IS LEGALLY A BI-LINGUAL COUNTRY (ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY MORE AND MORE MULTI-LINGUAL) THE TERM "ENGLISH" CONNOTES LANGUAGE RATHER THAN ORIGIN, AND IS ALMOST ALWAYS USED TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM "FRENCH". IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND WAS CHOSEN AS THE LEAST CUMBERSOME ALTERNATIVE TO ENGLISH IMMIGRANTS. THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN A FULL GENEALOGY OF ANY ONE FAMILY. IT IS INTENDED AS A FINDING AID, ASSISTING RESEARCHERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC TO DISCOVER EITHER WHERE THEIR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OR WHERE THEY EMIGRATED TO. IN MOST CASES, THEREFORE, NOT ALL OF THE KNOWN CHILDREN ARE INCLUDED IN THE "ISSUE" COLUMN. ALL THOSE BORN IN ENGLAND ARE LISTED, IN ORDER TO ASSIST ENGLISH RESEARCHERS TO IDENTIFY A PARTICULAR FAMILY, BUT, OF THE CHILDREN BORN AFTER EMIGRATION, THE ELDEST SON IS USUALLY THE ONLY ONE LISTED. A DAUGHTER IS LISTED IF THERE IS NO MALE ISSUE, BUT HER NAME CHANGE AT MARRIAGE MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE HER. THE PROBLEM OF TRACING FAMILIES WHO MOVED ON FROM FRONTENAC COUNTY WAS GREATLY ASSISTED IN MANY CASES BY THE ALL-ONTARIO INDEX TO THE 1871 CANADA CENSUS, COMPILED BY THE ONTARIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY. THIS INDEX IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE WORLD-WIDE-WEB. THE DATE OF ARRIVAL OF MOST IMMIGRANT FAMILIES IS, UNFORTUNATELY, NOT KNOWN, BUT, FOR THOSE FAMILIES LISTED IN THE 1901 CENSUS, A SPACE WAS PROVIDED FOR THE YEAR OF IMMIGRATION. NOT ALL FAMILIES TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT. A FAMILY'S PLACE OF ORIGIN IN ENGLAND IS SELDOM RECORDED IN THE CANADA CENSUS, BUT CANADIAN MARRIAGE REGISTERS AND VITAL STATISTICS RECORDS, WHERE THEY WERE AVAILABLE, HAVE PROVIDED SOME INFORMATION. IT IS HOPED THAT THOSE PERSONS WHO FIND THEIR ANCESTORS IN THESE PAGES WILL CONTACT THE AUTHOR WITH WHATEVER FURTHER STATISTICS THEY HAVE ASCERTAINED. DATA WILL BE INCLUDED AND CONTRIBUTORS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED IN FUTURE PRINTINGS. VOLUME II, COVERING LENNOX & ADDINGTON COUNTY, IS NOW IN PREPARATION, BUT IT IS THE AUTHOR'S HOPE THAT PRIVATE RESEARCH PUBLISHERS IN OTHER PARTS OF ONTARIO AND ACROSS CANADA WILL TAKE ON THE PROJECT IN THEIR OWN REGIONS. INTERESTED PERSONS MAY WRITE OR CALL: RUSS WALLER, 114 ROBERT WALLACE DRIVE, KINGSTON, ON, K7M 1Y2 - 613-542-9310 ORGANIZATION SURNAMES ARE LISTED ALPHABETICALLY, ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR AN INDEX. THE PARENTS COLUMN INCLUDES THE CHRISTIAN NAMES OF SINGLE PERSONS. DOUBLE SPACING IS NORMALLY USED THROUGHOUT, BUT SINGLE SPACING IS USED TO GROUP TOGETHER AND DESIGNATE AN OBVIOUSLY RELATED FAMILY (SEE "ABBOTT" FAMILY, PAGE ONE). IN SOME CASES, THE FATHER'S NAME IS REPEATED TO SHOW A REMARRIAGE. (SEE "ADA" FAMILY, PAGE ONE), WHERE THE FIRST WIFE'S NAME IS UNDERLINED TO SHOW THAT HER NAME IS REPEATED LATER UNDER HER SURNAME. TO SAVE LINE SPACE, BIRTHYEARS IN THE I9TH CENTURY ARE SHORTENED TO '--. IN THE I8TH CENTURY, THE FULL YEAR OF BIRTH IS GIVEN. m INDICATES MARRIED. OCCUPATIONS ARE SEPARATED BY / FROM ENGLISH PLACES OF ORIGIN. IMMIGRATION YEARS ARE SHOWN IN SQUARE BRACKETS; ['--]. IN THE ISSUE COLUMN, CHILDRENS' NAMES ARE PRECEDED BY = AND SEPARATED BY ; UNDERLINED CHILDREN WITH SPOUSES ARE REPEATED IN THE PARENTS COLUMN UNDER THE MALES' SURNAME. IN THE SAME COLUMN, SQUARE BRACKETS WITH S/O (SON OF) AND D/O (DAUGHTER OF) ENCLOSE THE NAMES OF PARENTS WHO PROBABLY REMAINED IN ENGLAND. iii MOST OF THE LOCATIONS IN THE DESTINATION COLUMN ARE TOWNSHIPS IN FRONTENAC COUNTY, WITH CONCESSION AND LOT NUMBERS SHOWN WITH A DASH BETWEEN. A STREET ADDRESS INDICATES LOCATION IN THE CITY OF KINGSTON. THE > DENOTES A LATER MOVE OUTSIDE OF FRONTENAC COUNTY. CEMETERY LOCATIONS ARE ALSO SHOWN IN THIS COLUMN. THE DOCUMENTS COLUMN IS PRIMARILY A LIST OF THE CENSUS DOCUMENTS FROM WHICH THE FORMER DATA WAS OBTAINED. THE CITY OR TOWNSHIP APPEARS FIRST, FOLLOWED BY THE YEAR, THE DISTRICT AND THE PAGE NUMBER. THE COLUMN ALSO CONTAINS DESIGNATIONS OF MARRIAGE REGISTERS AND VITAL STATISTICS DOCUMENTS. ABBREVIATIONS (GIVEN IN A TABLE BELOW) ARE USED EXTENSIVELY. MOST OF THE SOURCES CITED, INCLUDING THE CENSUS MICROFILMS, CAN BE FOUND AT THE KINGSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY, MAIN BRANCH.
