Sir;

     I  am inquiring to the digital reproduction and / or transcribing of the released Canadian Census for the purpose of free access in the study of genealogy.

    Do these documents (the census record) that have been posted on the "Library and Archive Canada" web site fall under copyright law of Canada and what is our government policies on this subject?

    I could not find any copyright marks or statements when searching the Databases.
    The only information I have been able to find is the policies I could find is:

 (partial statement)

Your second post is close but a different line.

He was my Grandfather d. 1988 in Norton NB
His daughter (Aunt Vina) helped with allot of the NB family.

Alberta was a Gray, my Great Grandmother.
Her Great nephew on the Gray side, Stan is working on the Gray line.

You haven't been rude, I've been off and on since May.

The child's name was William Barnes Baird.  We have no idea were his father came from.
We found Williams grave marker:

KI2M-003 = UPHAM PARISH - Upham St Peter's Anglican Cemetery
Located in churchyard in village of Upham. Compiled by Ernest Friars, 1980.
BAIRD:
04: Ann J. d. Sep 1870 ae 15 yrs 7 mos
Isabella d. Mar 1861 ae 11 yrs 7 mos
Infant daughter d. Jun 1866
Children of William & S. A. [....]
{sunk in ground - probably Baird}
05: William Baird d. Jun 1897 ae 86 yrs
wife, Sarah Ann d. Jan 1907 ae 90 yrs
06: Ella Annette Baird 1901 - 1971 {nee Fletcher}
Erected by daughter and son-in-law
Marian & Frank Allaby and family
59: E. Annette - see FLETCHER

I found Sarah Ann's death record in the NB government archive.
I've attached a pdf file of all the info I was able to collect on William's children.
As you can see I have very little to go on and my hunch is all I have.

I posted the original message on the Cunberland board.  Audery who lives in the area has some books on ships from Maryport and is willing to dig through them to see what she can find.  I'm not sure were the parish records are held.  If they are in the local area maybe I can get her to do a little snooping around for me.
