Montraul??
« on: Monday 23 March 09 17:17 UTC (UK) »
Hi,
     Has anyone heard or know of a village in Ontario called Montraul?

I am looking into my cousins line for her and she is adamant that her grandfather was from there and not Montreal.   I am out of ideas as far  as searching goes as all I get back is montreal.

There's quite a few "M" towns missing from that list.

There appears to be a Montreuil Lake, Ontario, Canada.

Could that be it?

Was your cousin's grandfather born before 1909? If so if you give us his name there might be a birth registration listed which will help identify the location.

I saw that too...I don't think they're actually that stoopid...I think it's a map for the benefit of somebody who's looking for Montreal, I dunno, it's in Canada somewhere, oh yeah it must be Ontario, I've heard of Ontario and it's in Canada..... Tongue

OTOH maybe they are that stoopid...

  Thankyou for your replies.

This was meant to be the easy part of her grandfathers life... where he was born.......obviously not!!   Grin

Her grandfather was Charles William..... b.1872 ish in Montraul Canada, ran away from a seminary when he was about 15yrs old, and went to sea. On arrival in Liverpool U.K in abt 1902 he changed his surname to Thompson or so the family was told. He said he would reveal his true name before he died unfortunatley he had a fatal heartattack and hadn't told anybody his name!

He named his daughters Eulalia and Rosa, we think this was after his mother or sisters.

 She did say she thought it was a fishing village....which probably doesn't help!

Thankyou all again and I will now go and have a look at the links!

I think it would be much easier to

1) find a seminary
2) go to sea, &
3) set out for Liverpool

from Montreal, rather than from some village in Ontario. The province of Quebec was and still is heavily Catholic and there were/are probably a dozen seminaries there. Montreal is a huge port which entertained innumerable ocean-going ships, and there was regular sea traffic between Montreal and Liverpool.

Also the terms "fishing village" and "Ontario" don't seem to fit well together, to me....

Just a few thoughts, cheers

Although I suppose you can have a seminary that isn't Catholic.... Tongue

I agree with China's thought's.  Ontario and fishing village just don't go together.

Do you have him on the 1911 UK census?
