James McCue X 2

There are 7 men listed as "head of household" in the 1871 Canadian Census.

In my post of September 1, 2011, I listed information from the 1871 Canadian Census pages 18 and 19 of the enumeration for Melancthon Township. There is a different James McCue listed on page 48 of the enumeration for Melanchthon Township:
James McCue
Sex: Male
Age: 53
Place of Birth: IRELAND
Religion: Roman Catholic
Origin: IRISH
Occupation: FARMER
District: GREY SOUTH (036)
Sub-district: Melancthon (D)
Division:1
Page: 48
Microfilm reel number: C-9951
Reference: RG31 — Statistics Canada

I believe it is this James McCue, born circa 1818, that is married to Sabina, and is Hanora "Annie" McCue's father.

I do believe the two men are related in some way, but in what way remains to be discovered. I've been corresponding with a woman who is a great grand-daughter of James of the 9/1/11 post, and it will be fun unraveling what our relationship is.

Ontario Marriages

A compilation of marriages from Ontario, with the following information:

2666-89 Timothy CURREN, 32, farmer, Canada, Melancthon, s/o Jeremiah & Bridget, married Annie McCUE, 21, Canada, Melancthon, d/o James & Sabina, witn: Francis DAVIS of Gartand Forks & Barbara McCUE of Melancthon, 4 March 1889 at Melancthon twp

This is confusing, as it lists Tim's dad as "Jeremiah." Tim had a brother named Jeremiah, but so far as I know, his dad's name was "Darby." Is it possible that "Darby" was a nickname?

Naturalization Papers

Found at Ancestry, a naturalization roster for Clearfield County, PA.

Nicholas Heisler, application filed 1 Dec. 1840; arrival 5 June 1831, Baltimore, MD; naturalized, 5 Sept. 1848.

This corresponds with what I know about Nicolaus Heisler.

Hafeneder?

Ancestry is sponoring 15 days of free database searching. Tuesday's data base was WW1 Personnel Rosters from Bavaria, Germany.

There were 141 entries on men with the last name of "Hafender." Pretty close to Hefenieder, in my opinion. Clearly, more work is needed on this topic. Names included Georg, Heinrich, Johann, Josep, Franz, Xaver (Xavier?)

Jailbirds in the Family Tree?

Probably everyone has some. I found some possible relatives on a list of compiled Ontario jail records. More research is needed to find if they're relatives:

Curran, Darby; age 35; Owen Sound Jail, 1859 [Owen Sound was the county seat of Grey County, described as "a lively port on Georgian Bay)
Curran, Felix; age 23; Brockville Jail, 1848 [Leeds County]
Curran, Mary; age 20; York-Peel Jail, 1855 [Toronto]

McCue, Michael; age 75 [hope this is a typo!]; Home District Jail, 1842 [in Toronto, included prisoners from Simcoe County]
McCue, Peter; age 24; Cobourg Jail, 1852

My recollection is that the dob for Darby is about right, i.e., 1824. If Felix is a relative of Darby's [perhaps a brother, dob ~ 1825], and they came over about the same time, they emmigrated before 1850. Mary Curran's dob would be 1835.
