MacNaughton, Robert c.1800: search for info

[RuthAnne]

Hello JHOCKIN -

I'm new to this genealogy business & I've been poking around looking for information on my great grandmother, Sarah McNaughton. I'm wondering if your Sarah & mine are the same person. How sure are you about her date of death?

I'm checking with my source; will post when have an answer

I'll be anxiously waiting to hear. The DOB's are the same but the DOD that I have is 31 JUL 1941.

here is what I've found, so far ( very busy right now, with a lot of "other stuff"):

Sarah Marie was my paternal great-great grandmother; her father was Malcolm J. MAcNaughton & her mother was Clementine Albee. Sarah was mother of Vera Charolette Ward Hockin, who was mother of (my dad) Wilbur Alexander Hockin.
I have birth date as March 28, 1865, in Argenteuil, Quebec. Death in 1941, in Neepawa, Manitoba. ( actual date - day & month - somewhere else in this pile of paper; I'll look "deeper", when I get time - likely to be at least a month)
also found this:


Sarah Maria McNaughton, the seventh child of Malcolm and Clementine
b. Mar, 28, 1865 at Dalesville, PQ, died at Neepawa, MB. in 1941. She married R.T. Ward, apparently at Lachute, Que. as at least the oldest child was born there.

Their children:
1. Vera Charlotte Ward b. Feb.11, 1889 at Lachute, Que. d. Feb. 13, 1947 in Big Valley, Alta. She is
buried in Stetler, Alta.
m. Albert Wilbur Hockin in 1913. He was born at Bowmanville, Ont. and died in National
City, Cal., USA. buried in the Glen Abbey Cemetery in Bonita, Calif. He died February 13,1947.

Their children:
1) John Gerald ( Jerry) Hockin
2) Iona Ruth Hockin
3) Muriel Hockin b. ? Muriel only lived a few weeks, she was born with a severe heart condition which is known as a Blue baby
4)Wilbur Alexander Hockin b. May 29, 1923.
5) Eileen (nee Hockin)Mellor

JHOCKIN -

Your Sarah & mine are the same. Your grandmother, Vera Charlotte, & my grandmother, Ruth Evelyne, were sisters. I knew about my mother's cousin, Dr. Gerry, but was not aware of the rest of the family. Nice to see how it all fits. When you are able to get out from under your current commitments, I'd love to "chat."

Happy Easter,

Hello:

Congratulations on your research!

While you were going through the Cornwall records, did you happen across any McCormicks? I've run into a roadblock with Jeremiah/Jeremie Lormandt dit McCormick, born around 1816, who lived in Cornwall after mid-1850s and married Pauline "Polly" Fex/Felx. Sometimes he is listed as Lormandt, sometimes as McCormick, and sometimes as Lormandt dit McCormick. His son is my great-great grandfather, who is listed at birth as Joseph Lormandt dit McCormick, but who went by McCormick all his life.

Jeremiah and Pauline had the following children:
Catherine, b. 1843
Margaret, b. 1844 (possibly Marguerite)
Bridget, b. 1846
Jocsette, b. 1858
John, b. 1850
Jane, b. 1855
Nelson, b. 1860
Joseph, b. 1861

I have been able to trace Pauline's line, but there are only question marks regarding Jeremiah.

(sorry this reply took so long)
I got most of my info from:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bi...hton::280.html

- most of the work was done by a (distant) relative, so, the answer is: I didn't search any Cornwall records, myself. Perhaps check the above website; or try contacting Gordon M, through that website? or contact Cornwall gen, soc.?
