  • Province of Ontario Volume 3
    IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND 1800 - 1900 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO VOLUME 3 - HASTINGS 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 EMIGRATED TO OR WHERE THEY CAME FROM. 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 HASTINGS COUNTY WAS ASSISTED IN A FEW 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.
