My Gr. Grandmother is Lillie (Leille) Cook b. May 11th, 1856 Hamilton, Ont., marr: Walter H. Van Norman, by 1883 he had moved to Minneapolis, MN. and had a daughter. Lillie marr: 2nd Warren Howard Hayes Oct. 25, 1886 in Minneapolis. There seems to be agreement among secondary documents that the birth info. for my gr. grandmother is correct, but we have no proof. We think her father was named William Cook. On her death cert. her father is named as Cook (no first name) and her mother is listed as Mary McCrimon both born in Canada( and I have a Mary Cook lsited as a witness to her 2nd marriage in 1886 to my gr. grandfather in MN.) On a woman that is reportedly her sister I have a death cert. which does name William Cook as father and Mary McCruiri as mother both born in Canada.( My faourite theory on the difference in mother's last name is illegible handwriting misinterpreted by a clerk).The sister was born 1858-59 poss. Hamilton, Ont. Her name is Rosetta "Etta" Cook and she marr: Fred Blodgett 1890 in Minneapolis. This brief ahnrntafel chart for Walter H. Van Norman is somewhat speculative re: his parentage and needs corroboration. We know his name from his daughters death cert. We found a listing in a MPLS city dir. for 1883 for a Walter H. Van Norman who worked for a music (esp. organs) store. We assumed he died abt. 1883-86 when Leille remarried. 1. Mary Bell Van Norman b. Dec. 6, 1883, in Mpls., Hennepin, Mn, USA., d.

I am trying to contact relatives descended from Andrew Cameron. Andrew is my Grand Uncle, eldest brother of my grandmother Christina McCallum Gibson (nee Cameron). He was alive at 93 and met my parents in Toronto in 1956 along with other members of the family who lived there. This is the information I have on him and the others my parents met at that time.- Andrew Cameron was b. Sept. 25th, 1864 in Stonehouse Lanark. In the 1881 Census for 8 Janefield Place, Leith, Midlothian he was still living at home with his parents and his occupation is given as apprentice bricklayer. He is no longer with his family by 1891 when he would have been 26 so may have been married. He had a daughter called Lizzie while still in Edinborough, probably about 1900, as Lizzie seems to have been a contemporary of my father born 1900. Sometime after that he emigrated to Canada. My parents visited him in Toronto in 1956 and in her trip book my mother noted that he was then 93. She also mentioned that Lizzie now known as Mary and her husband Frank Smith were also there as well as: a Jim and Olive whom she did not identify, Lizzie's daughter Helen and 3 children, Sheila her younger daughter, Andrew her son with his son Andrew, Jane & Clive Cameron and their son Robert. If anyone out there knows of this family and can give me some recent details I would be so happy as none of my efforts thus far have met with any success. I believe that Lizzie and her husband retired to Florida but have no details. Please contact Robert Stewart.

COOPER, William: b. England, May 29th, 1852. William emigrated to Canada in the areas of Belleville and Peterborough. He marr. Elizabeth Barlow around that same time period and resided in Havelock, Ontario. There is no record of the marriage being registered. The names which I am attempting to follow up through this line are: Barlow, Cooper, Spry, Neal(e) and Rombough. I have a fair amount of info on the Spry line and can trace the Barlow's to the 1830's. The Rombough's go back to 1725, on the continent in Upper Rhone/Rhine area. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Harry Rose.

Please help: For the past 20 years I have been searching for my grandmother. She lived and died in Ontario but her birth place is unknown. She was born Sept. 12th, 1880, her father was Joseph Dutrizac, however, I have one document that says he was married to Margurite Lalonde/Lalond and another that came from the Parish Priest at Almonte, Ontario that says her mother was Adelaide. Her father Joseph remarried in 1886 to Julia Ann Lalonde/Lalond. I do believe that she came from the area of Almonte/Carleton Place and that her father came from St. Eustach. If anybody has any info. whatsoever regarding this family please contact Colleen
