1900 Census, New York - Aylestock

[DeniseA]

Hi All
I am looking for James William Aylestock born 1886 in Ontario, Canada.
I have searched the Canadian 1901 and he is not there that I can find (or others for that matter)    I have found him in Canada in 1911. Rumor has it, his father died when he was quite young and due to his mother (who was born in Canada) being very ill he was sent to live in New York, either an orphanage or possibly relatives, am trying to find some hints of where his father, who was born in the USA may have come from or passed through on his way from US to Ontario, Canada, prior to his marriage in 1884.
James goes by the name William in the 1911 Canadian Census, Ethnic Origin: black or possibly mulatto.  The name may also be spelled Aylstock, Ailstock or Alestock.
Any help much appreciated

Hi Denise

Could this be him?
Everything fits apart from year of birth (1884 not 1886)

I have a copy of this info if required

Agnes

Hope this helps

Thank you so much Agnes
I would say that is him, there aren't many Aylestocks spelled this way, and definately not born in Canada mostly Ailstock and a few Aylstocks and all born US + the fact he is in New York where he was said to be during the time after his father's death. The 1886 year is not necessarily a problem. I went with a date I found online    I was not able to find a birth registration for him but in 1911 the year is given as 1885, I just checked his marriage info and at the time of his marriage in 1909 he was 24. All fits and that gives me a time frame for a death of his father and/or mother
Thanks again

Hello people
Back again, didn't want to start a new thread as the search requested is basically the same

Just this morning I found James William's mother, Emaline Aylstock in the 1911 Canadian Census, living in an institution. I'm wondering now if she and possibly James Snr were also in New York during the 1900 census as a further search of the 1901 Canadian Census is still not showing any evidence of either of them.

A search of 1900 - New York, would be much appreciated for either:

Emaline Aylstock (this is the spelling used in 1911, could also be Aylestock or Ailstock)
b. ca1854, Canada
Ethnic Origin: Black or Mulatto
or
James Aylstock
b ca.1844, USA
Ethnic Origin: Same

Thanks in advance

I am a descendant of the Virginia/West Virginia Aylestock Family and have done a lot of research. I've been in contact with someone in your Canadian branch named Andre. We have a James Ailstock born in Virginia in 1802. Might this be your James Aylstock born in 1818? William, James, and Sally are all common names in our family.

I have a copy of the marriage certificate of James Aylstock (1844) and Emaline Johnston. James parents are listed as Sally Aylstock "born in slavery" and the name of the father is left blank. Might James Aylestock (1818) have been his uncle rather than father?

Hi o2bna10t and welcome to rootschat.

Since posting the Emaline request I have found she remained in Berlin, Waterloo Co. Ontario until her death in 1943

James Aylestock Sr. c.1844 USA is still my brick wall    All I know about him is what is on his marriage certificate to Emiline and that a newspaper announcement states at the time of marriage he was "of Elmira". 

James Aylstock ca.1818 USA and Hannah Aylstock ca.1819 USA, both are in Pelham, Monck, Ontario: he is head of household she is at the home of a young couple (maybe working there?) both James and Hannah state "married" I am assuming it's to each other   As you said my James Sr. (married to Emiline) put his mother's name as Sally and didn't know his father's name; so who is this couple? A couple of thoughts, uncle is one but there is also the possibility if James and Hannah's ages in 1881 are not correct they could be older and may even be Sally's parents making them my James Sr. grandparents. (I have another family member whose documented est. birth year ranged anywhere from 1814 to 1835)

I'm still following some recent leads regarding this James 1818 but any additional input you may have I'd be more that happy to hear from you. will pm you my email address

Hi all! I'm hoping some of you will be able to help.  Perhaps DeniseA?  I'm looking for any
information regarding my great grand father James Ailstock or James William Ailstock (same
man) approx d.o.b 1844 with birth place in the USA. S/O Sally Alystook. Moved to Ont. Canada
between d.o.b. and 1884.
Was married to Emaline Johnston of Ont. on 14 Apr 1884.
Marriage Place: Berlin, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
Marriage Registration Number: 011665.
A year later, on the 6th of March 1885 they had one son, William Ailstock (my grandfather).
This only child, William Ailstock , got married to Jemima Redella (Minnie)Lawson with d.o.b of 4 Nov 1888. 
On a 1911 Ontario Census I found, they had 2 daughters listed, both are my aunts and are
now passed away: Mabel d.o.b Sept 1909 and Mary d.o.b Feb 1911.
REF: Line no. 29 to 32 of page 7 of 1911 Ont. census District no. 133 North Wellington, Pell 
Township.

It was litteraly shocked when I found my grandfather's name spelled Ailstock in that Ontario
1911 census, especially since no one in all of my aunts or uncles had never passed on that
information to the Aylestock familly here in Canada, at least not in all of the years I was
trying to build my family tree. 
My dad's name and all of his brothers and sisters (perhaps only Mabel and Mary) has always 
been spelled Aylestock as far as I know.

I would really really like to know when did the Aylestock spelling came about or if the name 
Aylestock was it simply misspelled in the 1911 Ont. census?
A few years ago, at the time of my 1911 census finding, I contacted my only surviving aunts 
at the time "Rella Aylestock" but I was never able to get this resolved with her.
I believe all direct children of William Aylestock and Jemima Lawson have passed away now so
it might even be more difficult trying to resolve this mystery!

Thanks a bunch! 

Andre

Hi Denise, was wondering if you ever got any more info on the James Aylstock ca.1818 USA and Hannah Aylstock ca.1819 USA couple?

Cheers!
