If that was the correct location then I guess it would be centre one fifth of this industrial section...
Karen will let me know if I'm wrong, as she is our land lady...  hehe
looks to be all taken up with railroad now...Centre road is now called Hurontario Street, or Hwy.10

The railroad ran through the middle of their house 
I'm trying to get a feel for it. I've downloaded the maps and will try to supperimpose. I think John must have given his daughter Jeanie part of the Lot when he moved to the land at Pearson. Letters mention that Jeanie was disabled in some way but I can't work out what was wrong.
Unfortunately, I don't have the Pearson address apart from a cousin saying that it was now under the airport. I'll check to see if the 1871 census has an accurate location for it.

So, does that mean that he didn't move and Lot 3 is the one under Pearson?
Hmmmmmm - just a patch of tarmac or something

Many a slip!

Short answer .... yes
Karen .... I'll sort you out the next time I see you 
I knew I could get your attention 
You are, of course correct
Gadget, I've been playing with maps all morning. I think it's just a tad SE to where the AirFrance plane hit the creek.
Google maps.

Thanks, Genie 
So, if the family had kept the land and all the others with closer claims than me had died, I'd not be too badly off !
I love maps

Sorry about the crash

Hi Jackie
Welcome to Rootschat and thank you for your kind offer
I think the property that we were looking for is now under the tarmac at the airport so I'm not sure if there's much to see anymore. A pity as I would have loved to have seen Uncle John's land.

Hi Jeff Yes she is. She's mentioned in the letter from John to James. I think she had a post office as well as wee Tom She never married. Have you got John's family details? If not, I'll dig them out. Sure, not hurray though, but thank you ! slowly getting back into it, but the film fest is another distraction! Gadget |

... a related question:
Has anyone had any experience / success trying to map pages in the 1851 Ontario census (particularly in the York County area) to lot and concession numbers?
There is often information in the census about the route the census taker took.
