Lookup Request – Vaughan Township Land Registry Abstract (Lot 47, Concession 1‑W)
Dear Archives of Ontario,
I am conducting genealogical research on my ancestor Thomas Wilkie, who died in 1840 and owned Lot 47, Concession 1 West of Yonge (1‑W) in Vaughan Township, York County.
I am seeking a copy or transcription of the Abstract Index to Deeds for this lot, particularly covering the period 1840 to 1870. I am especially interested in any transactions involving:
- Agnes Wilkie (widow of Thomas Wilkie)
- Their daughters: Jane (or Jean), Janet, and Margaret Wilkie
- The Brydon family (Margaret’s married name)
- Any indication of when the land left the Wilkie family
If possible, please include the instrument numbers, dates, and names of grantors and grantees for each transaction on this lot during that period.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Roberta

Takes a bit of work, but the abstract of deeds should also pop up as I've seen them for other searches I've done.
