On September 27, 1877, Cruth D. Gould (Goold) married Phebe/Phoebe Gregg, a widow, at Bracebridge. Phebe had several children from her first marriage and she and Cruth had a child, Alice, from their marriage. I am looking for info on Cruth, Phebe, Alice Gould, or descendants of any of Phebe's children from her first marriage. Phebe and her family may have been from Rosseau.

I'm searching for any information relating to William Grice and his family of Gravenhurst. William Grice was my grandfather on my mother's side. He was born in 1877 and died in 1927. He is buried in a cemetery in Gravenhurst, but I don't know which one. He married Ida May Cushman, born in 1886 and died in 1940 and they had nine children. My mother, Lillian Beatrice Grice was the oldest, being born in 1907 and her youngest sibling, Albert Grice, who was born in 1925, is the last surviving member of that family. I never met my maternal grandparents but there was a photo in the centennial edition of the Gravenhurst newspaper showing the members of the 1912-1913 Gravenhurst Fire Department and my grandfather was a member of that brigade. After my grandfather Grice died, my grandmother married William Rutherford in 1932. My grandmother is buried in the Rutherford plot at the Otter Lake cemetery near Parry Sound.
I would really be pleased if anyone could shed some light on this family. The names of the siblings, all born with the surname Grice, were: Lillian, Gilbert, Irene, Helen, Viola, Rosina, Josephine, Hazel and Albert.

Thank you.

Grose (maiden) wife of Edward Meads

I am looking for information about my great grandmother. Her maiden name is Grose and she was married to Edward (Teddy) Meads. She was buried in a pioneer cemetary near Yearly outside of Rosseau Ontario. She died around Dec 25 1883. I visited the cemetray when I was very young and I think it was on a side road just off the orad to Huntsville. I have checked theregular cemetary sources but I cannot find any record of her. Any assistance you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for information regarding the brothers Alfred England HUNT and Thomas England HUNT. Alfred HUNT (05 Apr 1859-13 Feb 1917) was married in England to Fanny SIMPSON (01 Aug 1860-1957) prior to coming to Canada. They arrived in Canada around 1879 and first settled in Brampton but moved to Bracebridge in the late 1880's. Thomas England HUNT (14 May 1865-28 Sep 1915) came to Canada around 1886 and was married to Mary Jane SITHES (20 Nov 1867-13 Mar 1938) in 1887. The brothers were both bricklayers as was their father John HUNT (Abt. 1832 - 6 May 1892). Their father died while visiting from England in 1892 and is buried in Bracebridge. Three other children of John HUNT and Mary TOOLEY came to Canada, Jesse, Harry and John George. The family came from Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, England.

The brothers and their families are living in Bracebridge in 1911.

Any information regarding this HUNT family and their descendants would be appreciated. I have been able to resolve

I found my grandmother first thanks to a nice gentleman from Canada who graciously looked up death regristrations for me. Her name was Phoebe Jane Stover b 12/13/1850 d 7/22/1923(error in the book and listing on cemetery page as Stoner born 1849 or maybe 1849 is right year and death registration is wrong, but it is my grams alright). On her death registration it listed her son as the informant, Clarence Hunter. He is also buried there as is his wife Elizabeth Brunson. Grandfather's name is Thomas Hunter and he is also buried in the cemetery.

I am interested to learn if there are folks in this area who may be related to this Hunter family or have knowledge of them. My father was Jesse Eugene Hunter b 7/31/1889, d 1966. He was supposedly born in New York but the family lived in Cooper'sFalls, Ontario. I have not found a birth record in Watertown, NY so I wonder if he was born there or in Canada.

Hopefully there is someone who can help me fill in the blanks. Family stories say there were 3 boys and 2 girls in this family, with my dad being the youngest. He was said to have older siblings and a sister who was already married when he was born.

I located other Hunters in the cemetery and wonder if they are also siblings to my dad. One Thomas E Hunter b 1871 and d 1956 could be a brother as older siblings said they thought one of the brothers was named Tom. This man was also married to a Brunson, Alice b 1886 and d 1971.
I also found a John L Hunter's name on Shirley McKenzie's grave and a child of their's. Mary Ann b 1941 , d 1945 in the Symington cemetery. Shirley died in 1954.

The girls names were thought maybe to be Phoebe and another rather unusual name. I found a Phoebe Jane Rogers, b 1874 and died 1952 in the same cemetery and wonder if she is dad's sister.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Dad had 11 children born between
1917 and 1940 so we are only 6 left and aging rapidly. Willing to share information on our family with any relatives.

Thanks muchly,
Penny (Hunter) Ganje-Barton

I am searching for my grandfather Frank C. Johnson who died in Parry Sound, on February 26, 1918 at the old General Hospital at the age of 39. He was taken to Logan's Funeral Home and they have a record of him being there in 1918, but the burial place had been left blank. His older sister Ester Johnson was the one who gave the information and she might have resided in Parry Sound at that time. I have check all cemeteries online through Murray Plesch website, but he is not listed with a stone. Somewhere there must be a record of him and where they might have buried him. Is there a Potter's field cemetery in Parry Sound as I do not think a stone was affordable at the time. Where would I look for such a record? He was born in Fesserton, Ontario on February 21, 1879 and his parents were James Johnson and Catherine (craddock) Johnson. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

I am inquiring about my father's family who settled in Monck Twp. My dad was Wilfred Bryson Clifford Johnston, born in 1922 in Monck Township. His father Wesley Johnston, no dob but date of death was 1938, and his mother was Jane Meeks, no dob and year of death was 1940. I do know that Jane was buried with her first husband, Herbert Meeks, place unknown, by whom she became a widow with 5 children. By the time Wesley Johnston married Jane Bell, he too had been married once before, before becoming a widower; this union produced 4 children. When Wesley and Jane married, this union produced 7 more children. My father grew up with brothers & sisters, half-brothers & half-sisters and step-brothers & sisters.
My father was also married to a woman named Alma Verna, last name unknown as well as her dob and dod. He enlisted in WWII, coming back to Canada and staying at the Gravenhurst hospital, where he met my mother, his soon to be second wife. Alma apparently divorced my father when he was overseas but I don't have a date either.
All I know is that I have a half-sister that is approximately 61 yrs old and I was raised in a family of 5 children. My parents were married in Kirkland Lake on February 10, 1949.
Could you help me out to find my father's family. I am stumped and don't have many leads as my father passed away at a young age of 56, on February 16, 1979

Sincerely

Denyse Johnston
