Surname Inquiries

am looking for information on Charles Rouse Oles, twin brother George Oles - born approx 1831 in Brantford. Parents are Gilbert F Oles (born 1799 Haldimand, died 12, Sept 1883 Langford) and Sarah Rouse/Rausch born 183 London, Middlesex Ontario and died 20, March 1910 Langford.

Charles married Rachel Elizabeth Borland/Oles

George married Julia Williams

I can not find any documentation of them on census or elsewhere.

Gilbert Oles’ father was also named Gilbert Oles. He was born in Pennsylania. He married Elizabeth Brice in 1793 in Ft Erie. According to the History of Brant book, page 588, he settled in what became Haldimand County area, returned to USA in 1800 and died. She then moved with children to Mt Pleasant.

I am looking for a birth record for DONALD JAMES JOHNSTON. He was born in May, 1891 in Brunel/Stephenson. At the time of his birth he lived with his parents, Thomas Johnston and Catherine (McDonald) Johnston. Donald had several siblings: John, Robert and Thomas Jr. They were listed in the 1891 Census as living in the Brunel/Stephenson township. Thomas Sr. may have been working as a surveyor or potentially a "lumberman." We have been looking for a long time for his birth record or baptism record. Later in life Donald listed his place of birth as Orillia. However, the census in 1891 was taken only about 6 weeks before he was born so a birth in Orillia may be questionable. We have looked in Orillia area for records but found nothing. The family left Ontario in 1899 and moved to Duluth, Minnesota. My wife is the granddaughter of Donald. She is trying to locate birth records for him so she can claim citizenship as a descendant. Any information is very appreciated!

I am searching for a birth record or baptismal record for my great grandmother, Jane Eccleston, born to her parents John Eccleston and Mary Dacre Eccleston on August 6, 1876 most likely in or near Parry Sound. John Eccleston was a blacksmith and appeared on both the 1871 and 1881 Canadian Censuses. In 1871, John and Mary and their three eldest children (all born in England) resided in Etobicoke; in 1881, they and their eight children (including Jane) had relocated to Collingwood. I have found Methodist baptismal records for Jane's older Ontario born siblings stating that they were born in Essa and Hagerman, and I have found a birth registration for Jane's younger sister, Hannah, born in Parry Sound in 1878 so I have reason to believe that the family did reside there for a time. Family records for Jane (and her own reports on marriage and birth certificates) all indicate that she was born in Parry Sound, but so far I have been unable to confirm with a birth registry or baptismal record. Any suggestions are most welcome!

I heard through the grapevine there was someone looking for information on the Flumerfelt family. More specifically, George Cornelius Flumerfelt (1866-1942), buried in Foley Cemetery. He lived in Parry Sound, his first wife was Phoebe Culp (1870-1897), second wife Francis Clark (1866-1948). If anyone could pass that information on to that person, please let them know they can contact me. Thanks!
