George McPherson 1862 York Factory HBC passengers

[J.J.]

Wonder if this is your man as Rodric Mcferson Algoma Dist. 1901, woodsman...It could be as not far from where his future wife lives... You could see if he can be followed thriough the census. I tthink it says N.D. ( Northern District) http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/census/ViewFrame.jsp?id=29488&highlight=32  The date is close to that of John Robert...wish we had 1891
Herfamily is next to Morriseau who were mistranscribed as Morrison...altho it is clear as day.

have you looked at any Anglican Church records...Not sure if any of these Parishes were close to York Factory or not...CHURCHILL, Keewatin Diocese?  http://surreylibraries.ca/files/genbook15web.pdf

A lot of these records, I did not think to look them up until recently. I am now thinking that I will reward mysrlf with a trip to the archives once this course is completed (in a couple weeks). I will have a nice list of microfiches that I will want to explore.

You'll need to see where those parish records are archived. You may be able to order to view through interlibrary loan or be available at an archive near you (see bottom of page)

Found the lists for Prince of Wales and he is not on them...You will need a huge amount of time in order to look through ship's lists... I suggest asking Ms. Briggs by email if they have any further information on your men, and if they have suggestions for you prior to your visit...as it is so much work and coming from out of town all preparations prior may help

Hello everyone...
This query is titled:  MB. 1862 York Factory HBC passengers so please let us continue only if any ancestors may have on that voyage.

Lauraine .....here is something...occupational biographical sheet on HERD, David J.  http://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/biographical/h/herd_david-j.pdf

For those searching... ships/dates for HBC voyages to Canada   http://hallnjean.wordpress.com/ship-lists/

DitzKnitz & Burntwood, don't be alarmed ....admin has split the thread to make a topic all your own!  The last post I made above was half a stray, as the top part was for the initial thread, but I have reposted it back there. The bottom half may still come in handy if you haven't located the ship's  list for George McPherson born 1840-42 Tingwall Parish who signed up 1861.

This thread also covers Samuel Grey, whose daughter married George McPherson.

Hello. I found this forum while filling in my family tree. You've helped me to fill in more direct family, if I've followed my leads properly. Samuel Grey Sr is my Gr Gr Gr Gr Gr Grampa. Rory (Royie, Roderick) McPherson is my Gr Gr Gr Grandpa. What info were you looking for about him?
