John Lyons Hall, Cumberland Township, Ottawa
« on: Wednesday 14 November 18 16:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Been trying to find information on John Lyons Hall, Cumberland Township, Ottawa, after his birth there in 1859 please.

Wesleyan Methodist.

Parents:  Thomas and Eliza Jane Hall

I have all information on Parents etc before 1859.


Can not find any information on parents or him after 1859 and would welcome advice on Sources I could check please.

I have tried quite a few times but so far end up with brickwall for anything after 1859.

Also, if Thomas and Eliza Jane Hall had a property there, are there records for dates they got it or left it?

I don't mind researching, so advice on Sources very welcome!

Thank you.

The actual image of the baptism indicates he was born on 26 November 1859 and baptized 6 February 1859, so one of the dates is wrong, and I'll guess he was born 26 November 1858.

Thank you!

Yes I often wondered if maybe they lived a distance away and maybe born Feb and not Baptized until Nov.

Rather than centering in on the Dates etc, it is finding him and his Parents after this that I'm trying to concentrate on.

For now.... I need to move forward in time if possible.

Advice on Sources etc to check Post 1859 welcomed please.

In the 1866-67 Carleton & Russell Directory, there is a Thomas Hall in Cumberland Township listed as living on Lot 12, Concession 1.  There is also a John Hall noted on Lot 13, Concession 5:

Thank you.

John would not be related to Thomas!

He did have a brother John, but he lived and died in Ireland.  Thomas Hall is the only one who went to Canada.

This Thomas shows up in the 1871 Census has 26 years of age, born in Ontario, living with a Sarah Kennedy, aged 60, born Ireland.  No wife or children with Thomas.
