I agree, I edit my locations to be what they were at the time of the event. Russ

I am wondering from your note, Mary, if the location in the source and source detail on ancestry.com use the place it would have been or is now? If they haven't used the original location it will make it all that much more difficult. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: M.

Brian, Canada locations are the next ones for me to straighten out and name properly as they were when the events happened. What a confusing history that area has! I believe that the 2 colonies before 1841 that you referred to were Upper Canada and Lower Canada.

Peggy, Canada West and Canada East were the names used in Colonial Canada from about 1841 until Confederation in 1867 when the separate Colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island combined into modern Canada. Before 1841 there were two separate colonies (do not remember what they were called). In 1841 the French and English colonies were combined into one colony called Canada. Canada West was the name given to the English colony in what is now the province of Ontario, Canada East was the former French Colony in what is now the Province of Quebec. The province of Ontario is divided into counties for local government purposes and the Grey you mention is one of the counties. It has now been combined and the present county is called Grey and Simcoe. The area is North of the City of Toronto. Not sure when Grey North existed, if it ever did as a separate county. Within the counties are smaller subdivisions called townships perhaps Grey North is a township name.
