I have just found another of the 8 daughter of Archibald Cameron who
came to Five Islands, Colchester County, Nova Scotia about 1818. He was
married in 1822 to Jennet Hanning. Their 11 children were born between
1823 and 1848. I don't know where this daughter fits in. The only
references to her that I have found are a mention of her name in a list
of Archibald and Jennet's children written in a local history
publication and a reference in a deed found in the Registry of Deeds
office, Truro, NS which mentions Margaret Cameron as being the wife of
Allen McDonald and that in 1872 they were residing in Portland, Maine. I
know this is vague, but it's more information than I had a week ago!!
If anyone is researching in that area and has come across any reference
to this couple I sure would appreciate hearing from them.
Thanks,
Judi in Nova Scotia

As I do a wee bit of Canada work [in spite of my being a furriner!] I advise that long ago in 1802, there was no effective national Civil registration of Vital events, the only records being those compiled in Churches, for the sacraments of baptism, marriage
and burials.
So in Upper Canada your first goal needs to be, to focus on the particular church involved. Not an easy task as a rule. A town or village name might be a good start
Another good chance, will be if you put on this LIST the names dates and places of those persons you are focussed on. Some of us will then tinker with your data and find a "match".

WASHDAY
Years ago a Kentucky grandmother gave the new bride the following recipe for
washing clothes. It appears below just as it was written, and despite the
spelling, has a bit of philosophy. This is an exact copy as written and
found in an old scrap book (with spelling errors and all).
1. Bilt fire in backyard to heat kettle of rain water.
2. Set tubs so smoke wont blow in eyes if wind is pert.
3. Shave one hole cake of lie soap in bilin water.
4. Sort things, make 3 piles. 1 pile white, 1 pile colored,
1 pile work britches and rags.
5. To make starch, stir flour in cool water to smooth, then
thin down with bilin water.
6. Take white things, rub dirty spots on board, scrub
hard, and then bile. Rub colored don't bile, just rinch and starch.
7. Take things out of kettle with broomstick handle, then rinch,
and starch.
8. Hang old rags on fence.
9. Spread tea towels on grass.
10. Pore rinch water in flower bed.
11. Scrub porch with hot soapy water.
12. Turn tubs upside down.
13. Go put on clean dress, smooth hair with hair combs.
Brew cup of tea, sit and rock a spell and count your blessings.
* Paste this over your washer and dryer
