How to find Canadian Records

[J.J.]

I might have found the wrong family, then...Perhaps Lucy went as Mary Lucy back then as well... back to the drawing board...or the censuses, that is

[J.J.]

Well, I looked for May Lucy no surname,Mary L. no surname and nothing close...Lucy Mary no surname & nothing close...Lucy McLaren no head of household with a huge date range...just Mary with surname brings uo the mother...Mary ann...
 I give up, this is a mystery   J.J.

Hello Paula42, I just found this site and am learning as I go.  I am a daughter of James Donald Gannon, who is the son of Peter John Gannon & Mary Lucy Elizabeth McLaren.  My father is a brother of Simon Peter Gannon who married Bertha Melinda Clattenburg as well as a brother of Mary Ellen Teresa Gannon who married Issac Archibald Clattenburg.  I have been researching my family tree and can go back 5 generations of Gannons and back to 1803 on my Grandmothers side McLaren/McBride and various Canadian Natives from the James Bay area.  I can possibly put you in touch with someone who may have more info on the Clattenburgs.  Are you still researching?

The family found in 1881 was the correct one, as here they are in 1901 with young Walter (also found above in Ontario deaths)  J.J.

Hello J.J., Thanks for the web info on the Gannons and McLarens.  I've visited the sites and gotten the information.  LindaLucy

[J.J.]

well, if you both still need to go back over the pond for the scottish ancestry,
you will find some awesome help over on the rootschat Scotland board...
Were these HBC or Northwest men, then?
The HBC archives here in Manitoba is fabulous !

Hi

Thanks for the help it is much appreciated. I have not completed as much research on the Canadian side of the family as I have on the English side. I have found the English side much easier, probably because it is closer to home and places that I recognise. I have not completed much on the Gannon side of the family as I became a bit stuck when it came to Peter Gannon and Lucy Maclaren so I left it for a while and only recent came back to it and have to admit to not getting very far along. I have not got so far as the name McBride.

So any help has been and is much appreciated.

Thanks

Paula
