Hello,
I am looking to find the names of ancestors on Concession 2, 3 and 4 EAST of Yonge Street on Lots 1 through 10 in York, Ontario. I understand there is a 1890 map of York, Ontario that shows the names, but I cannot seem to find it on the internet. I am hoping that you can help me. Are there any later maps of York which would also show the lots and the owners? Thank you in advance.

I am attempting to find out any information on Arthur Martin. I know he was born in Ireland as was his wife, Ann (no maiden name known), who also was born in Ireland in 1797. In Patricia Hart's book "Pioneering in North York" she has Arthur listed on Lot 4, Concession 4 east of Yonge Street settling there in 1840. The 1861 Census of Canada has Ann Martin living with her son, Samuel Martin, and his family on the same lot and concession. All of my attempts to find information on Arthur or his wife, Ann, have failed. Ann Martin does not appear in the 1871 census with her son, Samuel, so I am thinking she died sometime between 1861 and 1871, but I have been unable to find a copy of her death certificate or a place of burial. Are there any records of a land grant or patent given to Arthur Martin prior to 1840? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I do not know if this is the correct board to post this question. In my research of early settlers on Concession 4 east of Yonge Street I find 2 Samuel Martin families, one on Lot 4 and the other on Lot 2. Both Samuels are married to Reid women - one is Elizabeth Reid born about 1832 in Ireland and the other Rachel Reid born on September 11, 1827 in Ireland. My dilemma is that I am trying to determine whether the 2 Reid women are sisters and they married men with same given and last name. I have tried to find results in Familysearch and other internet sites and have been unsuccessful. Would you have any suggestions for me? Thank you in advance.

I am looking for any information regarding an Alexander McCormack, John McCormack and Thomas McCormack. They are listed in the Toronto City and Home District Directory for 1837 as living on Lot 1, Concession 2 east of Yonge Street. I do not know if they are father and sons or all three brothers. The spelling of their surname is unusual. They would have been farmers I would imagine considering the early date. Any information would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I am looking for any information on Francis Johnston. He was born about 1815 in the southern United States. He was a refugee slave and in the 1840s travelled by underground rail to Ontario, Canada. Francis died in 1860 in York leaving his wife, Sarah, and 4 young children, Alexander (, Sarah (7), May or Mary (5), and Mabel (3). Sarah died in 1862 in York.
