Surname Inquiries

Looking for marriage of Phyllis Elizabeth Tonge to ? Ralph Simpson . About 1932 to 1936.

I am interested in information pertaining to my great-great grandmother Lucy Helena Monroe Simmons Burton. Born in 1864 (Bulite? transcribed incorrectly, I believe, perhaps Beloit, but no records found) Wisconsin, USA but lived and married in this area of Ontario. Her husband was named William Burton, they were married on December 23, 1885 in Muskoka with ties to Gravenhurst (marriage witness documents). She died at age 30 in June, 1894 in Parry Sound District, however, I am unable to locate any other life or burial information. I am also interested in learning about her father John Monroe Simmons and how he came to the USA from Ontario, and with his wife, Emily Misselbrook Simmons, had my great, great grandmother in Wisconsin. I can find no record of them afterward, but Lucy Helena (Elena or Nellie sometimes) returned to the Muskoka, Stephenson, Brunel area and lived out her life. My great-grandmother was born there and located to Toledo, Ohio where she worked as a milliner and where my family was raised. Perhaps John was a sympathizer in the Civil War and was killed? I don't know, but Lucy was known to be living with her mother and step father at age 17 according to a census document. I have extensive history otherwise, however, these missing pieces have plagued my research for several years. I just ran across this group and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

My family was in the area based on census and birth records between 1870-1890’s working in the logging industry (sawmill & logging camp). Moved to Alberta in mid 1890’s

Isabella Miller McLaren, wife of Thomas McLaren, evidently moved to the McKellar/Parry Sound area in mid to late 1800s from Sparrow Lake. Thomas McLaren is buried at Sparrow Lake.

Isabella was his second wife. Ellen McLaren, her daughter or stepdaughter? married John Maguire.

They took up land in Morrison Township in Muskoka, on Sparrow Lake.

Searching the history of Jesse and Abby Watkinson of Orrville as well as their ancestors. Interested to know when and how his father Ebenezer Born Sept 19, 1836 in England immigrated to the area in approximately 1871.

Hello ...

Do you have any genealogical records for Andrew Hunter and his family. The census records indicate he lived in Torrance in Medora Township in 1911 and Port Carling in 1921. He was a mason by trade involved in construction contracting.
