Sheri, did you find out any information? Let me know as this would be an interesting piece for Merritton Matters newsletter.
My father and his brother lived in St Catherines and were placed in an orphanage in 1925 or 1926. I would like to know if orphange records would be available to me. We do not know anything about his family, and my Dad believed that he had a sister to that he never found. He did find his brother around 1980. we dont even know our nationality. Any information you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
My grandparents and mother lived in St Catherines 1920’s until 1932, would you be interested in my sending photos I have taken at that time of St Catherines area? Their names were Ernest and Mary Jupe, my mother Mina was born in St Catherines 1924, they lived in Lowell Avenue. My mother is 88 now and has many clear memories of St Catherines at that time. If interested, could you suggest email address. Many thanks Janet
I am trying to link johnathan Hagar married to azubah Hopkins to the correct line of hagars from either Massachusetts or New Jersey. Neither line, has a johnathan being born 1765, married to azubah. I have a paper written by Brian Nahri showing johnathan is descended from the family in Massachusetts, but the note say he is likely grandson of Joseph and grace Hagar, but johnathan claims his father was a John as well, but the johnathan born to Joseph and grace did not have a son named John. Ay help would be great.
I am still researching for my great grandfather Thadius (Timothy ) Hurly who left Ireland with his family during the Famine years and I believe came through Canada. HIs family settled in Wisconisn but can find no where abouts as to what happened to him. Did he die at sea coming over or from disease and buried in Canada? I would appreciate anyone else doing this research to contact me or have any answers. thank you Delores
I am researching the Niagara, St. Catherines and Toronto Railway. Do you have historical information and photographs of the operation? I am planning a visit to the area in the near future. I have read John Mills book of the same name but I’m looking for addition photographs. We acquired the last street car #130 from the NS&T line and had it at Rail City Museum when it was in operation between 1955 – 1974. Thank you.
hi Mr. Groman,the Niagara Falls Public Library has lots of pictures of the NS&T.
I’m carrying out research for an article I’m writing on the militia Camp of Observation established at Thorold from August to October 1866 following the Battle of Ridgeway. I’d greatly appreciate any help you can provide on this subject.
Thanks for your consideration.

We are a small Market Town on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds in England. In the 1800 Canadian buyers used to come to our,at that time, famous Sheep Markets looking for LINCOLN LONG WOOLS to take back to CANADA. As the sheep trade dwindled from the mid 1800 a lot of Caistor people decided to emigrate to Canada. I noticed on your site you talk about vanishing villages and one was called Caistor. Could this have been where our people moved to and settled? Do you know of or have any English roots from our area? We’d love to hear from you.
