Regarding the original query...Looked into the area again, and there are a lot of businesses on the location where Jeannie (with the Irvins in 1881  ?) was living...especially location number four. So the CNR Rail does go right through the centre of the two present day streets,but would have been the western side of the actual property, I think?...Patrick Curry's would have been on the other side of the track...so the property should be visible to this day, although nothing of great view, as it is now industrial type property.

I looked into the 1881 to see what path the enumerator took, but it just made me dizzy as it seemed a bit random...yes, I need to get a life ( Tongue  I did a lot of USEFUL things today as well )...also Brennans are probably BANNANE...http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e328/e008186575.jpg
Here's the map Karen found and the newer version together...

well, not under the "airport" tarmac, anyway...Maybe Karen can just look at all the maps just to be sure...
Unless, perhaps even that area is now all considered airport property?? ....I don't know, don't live there, I just can only see the maps...

Hard to know what is on the property...might still be tarmac or just hard land Grin (It IS shown as grey just like the airport tarmac).... but it  won't be very interesting to look at, regardless, being that it's no longer residential and now a more industrial area with the rail running through it....You could google earth it to see what it looks like from above.

Well, I've got  Torbram Road  and the airport  but can't locate Eles Ave*  Undecided

What number is the freeway intersection?


Added - is it Steeles Ave E   - if so I've got it  Grin

Added 2 - looks like it could be that stream close by Delta Park Blvd and Tracey Blvd

Yes Steeles... I cut out just the area, but to see whole area & the bordering streets, just look at the link posted in reply # 30....(Centre road is now called Hurontario Street, or Hwy.10 )

South of Clark Boulevard ...Walker Drive runs through the centre of it. Carson Court on the left of it....

I was hoping to find some business addresses along Walker Drive, but it seems to be more of a feeder road
so just the few mentioned on the earlier reply

Carson Court addresses:
