1871 or 1881 lookup - Peters

[Jacquie in Canada]

Census are not the most reliable source of information when it comes to age and birth place. Her age on the 1871 census could be an error by the enumerator or a lie or her ages on other census and the marriage registration could be a lie.

As for Frederick and Howard, they could have died or they could have used other names (gone by a middle name) on subsequent census.

Regarding Harry, he is a bit of a mystery. It makes me wonder whether he was not a brother of the younger Polly Ann since he was listed before her. It is possible that he was the son of Andrew, Anson or another brother or the illegitimate son of a sister of theirs. Unless some BMD documentation is found it may remain a mystery.

I found a possible death for Frederick Peters. This Frederick died 15 Oct 1878 at the age of 12 years, 5 months and 12 days in Olden, Frontenac County. There are no parents listed but the informant was "John Peters, grandfather". This matches up quite well with the Frederick who was on the 1871 census with Andrew and Malinda.

By the way, there is a death registration for Polly Ann Peters, 66, who died 4 May 1885 in Olden, Frontenac County.

I've also found a birth for Albert Peters, son of Anson Peters and Emily Bunder, who was born 25 Aug 1875 in Olden, Frontenac County. I wonder if he could be Harry?

Here's Emily's death........

Emily Peters (Albert was actually written but crossed out)

Date says 25 Aug 1875 (Albert's birth date) BUT is registered 07 Oct 1875 so I would think the actual date should be closer to the Oct one.

She didn't die in childbirth but from a liver complaint and heart disease.

Informant was Anson Peters, Husband

Emily was born in Ernestown, Ont

Religion Episcopal Methodist.

To me it looks like the Registrar(?) started to put Albert's birth on the Death Register?

Hi, my name is Kerry peters. My great great grandparents were Melinda and Anson peters. My grand father has alot of information on them because those were his grandparents. If you wish to know more and discuss this it would be of great help, so just let me know because I can get alot of information for those still wondering. I can trace Melinda wager back to 1660's and I also have alot of other information about the family. So please contact me because I am very interested in my family history.

Hello Grandpapeters

I'm not the original poster so am not related. I just wanted to welcome you to RootsChat.

Hopefully Bearluvin will come back up before too long. I believe that once you have made 3 postings you would be able to use the PM (Private Message) system to try another avenue of contact if you don't hear from Bearluvin on this message board.

Since several have expressed interest in this line, I would like to extend my offer to look up earlier family information. My files mainly cover 1700 to 1820 but my main interest is in family origins. Peters, Snyder, Babcock and Lewis families intermarried often in Eastern Ontario. I recently offered Bearluvin the following, but the posting is a bit old:
Your posting Sunday 19 April 09 mentions interest in the Peters family.
I have extensive research files for the Peters family from CT, USA that went to Eastern Ontario. I have traded information with Brant. I am a direct descendant of Samuel Babcock, born in Tappan, NY in 1735 whose daughter, Elizabeth went to Camden Township, Lennox and Addington County, Ontario in 1788 with her husband William Lewis. Their son, Thaddeus Lewis, born 1793 was an Episcopal Methodist Minister in the area from 1815 till 1866. Do you have any questions about the origins of the Peters line or connecting families?

I am the 4th Great granddaughter of William Lewis and Elizabeth Babcock.  Family information indicates that he was a Loyalist in the Revolutionary War.  Do you have any information?

I have lots of information and I am willing to share it. William b. 1754 served under Thomas Ward, John Byard and Captain David Babcock. William received two land grants of two-hundred acres each for his military service, Elizabeth was the daughter of Samuel Babcock, a Loyalist, and Rachel, also a Loyalist. My line is through Thaddeus b. 1793 m. Elizabeth Milligan; Timothy R. b. 1826 m. (1) Experience Holmes; Hugh T. b. 1848 m. Sarah Muir; Martha Lewis b. 1882 m. William Watson.
I have been very interested in the Babcock line and I have information available through relatives on Rootsweb. Please send me a personal message with any questions you have and I'll try to answer.

Hi - Just checking in after the new post.  I am still interested in information on the Peters line.  It's been a while since I've researched it so I need to refresh my memory.
