BULLOCK

Can anyone tell me how accurate the Canadian Ontario Census are? My great grandfather was born in Brighton Township in 1852. There is only one family in this location at this time. I just got my hands on the 1861 census for the county and it did not include his name. He had a brother named Robert who was part of this BULLOCK family. The father is Charles, mother is Elizabeth. The 1861 cenus names them and a sister, Sarah, Caroline and another brother, Charles. My great grandfather was Carl Carlisle BULLOCK, b. 1852, d. 1934. Sometimes he was known as C. C. BULLOCK, but the census does not list him.

BROWN, KINGHORNE, HEWSON

I am attempting to piece together my mothers parent's families. These will be the ancestors of Robert BROWN, b. 1875 and d. 1946, who married Agnes KINGHORN at Port Hope in 1911. They raised five children.

Robert BROWN's father was Levi William BROWN, b. 17 Oct 1835, but may have used the name BRUN, BRUNNE or BRAUN. He may have been German in origin. He married Mary HEWSON.

Robert's wife is Agnes KINGHORN who came from Stalwart, MI. Her sister, Jennie KINGHORN married a William George BROWN, b. 1869, d. 1964 in Port Hope. There is a total of 10 siblings in the KINGHORN family. Robert BROWN and Agnes KINGHORN BROWN are at rest at Union Cemetery in Port Hope.

If you have any small insight or story to share related to these family origins, or the families they generated, please contact me at: Skip GOTTFRIED at witan1@aol.com

INSLEY

The parents of John William INSLEY were John and Fanny [Osborne] INSLEY. John is buried in Asphodel Twp, Peterbrough Co, but Fanny is buried in Percy Twp. The apparent reason for this is she lived as a widow with her son John William INSLEY, a barber in Warkworth and died there 30 Oct 1895. I have checked the OCFA and cannot find the place of her interment or burial. Can anyone help me on this?
