A search of Pallot's marriage index as transcribed for and posted on Ancestry.com resulted in a marriage for Charles Dimond and Catherine Paterson during 1830 at Rappington, Somerset. During research conducted many years previous, the same marriage had been found in the original parish register of Paddington, London. However, the place of origin of the bride's family still has not been discovered to this day and it was hoped that a search of Ancestry.com would possibly turn up a lead for that lineage. A microfilm of the Rappington, Somerset Bishop's Transcripts was ordered and examined. What a disappointment! There was no marriage at Rappington for Charles and Catherine. A second search on Ancestry.com in Pallot's marriage index, to verify the first information found in their index, turned up an image of a second index card, this time for Catherine Paterson. Very clearly one card says that the marriage took place at Paddington. The other card is very difficult to decipher - neither Rappington, nor Paddington can be gleaned from it. It would appear that there is at least one error in the searchable index of Pallot's marriage index as posted on Ancestry.com.
Land grants clearly indicate that Peter of Niagara Township, circa 1796, obtained land in Gainsborough. Those grants also confirm that this man was the son of George Cockle of Niagara, one of Butler's Rangers and the original Caughill settler. The Gainsborough land was subsequently deeded to his two sons Peter, Jr. and William, both of Gainsborough
CRANNELL, Levi
Albany, New York, U.S.A. and
Carleton County (Ottawa), Ontario, Canada
  
The parentage of Levi Crannell, Sr. of Ottawa has now been proven to be Henry Crannell and Eliza Crouch of Albany, New York.
Also overturned are some of the "facts" as reported in the March-April, 1985 issue of The Humboldt Historian. That article indicates that Levi Crannell "...died in 1927." and that he was of Toronto. The only two Levi Crannells that had connection with Ontario were Levi Crannell, Sr., as noted above, and his son, Levi Wilfred Crannell. Mr. Crannell, Sr. died at Ottawa on 21 October 1930. Levi Wilfred Crannell died at Ottawa on 7 July 1946.
LANE,
Daniel
Gainsborough Township, Ontario, Canada
Through extensive searches of civil registration certificates, land petitions, census and statistical assessments it has been determined that Daniel Lane of Gainsborough Township was the son of Alexander Lane and Lena Moot.
Extensive research into the ancestry of the
Vienneau family of New Brunswick and Acadia produced several
genealogical claims concerning the parentage of Magdeleine Louise
LeJeune, the second wife of Jean-Baptiste Vienneau. Inasmuch as
the research had been undertaken to document and support a claim
of native ancestry it was imperative that all claims of native
ancestry of each family member be followed through to
conclusion, whether that conclusion produced the desired result or
lead to a false end. All claims of the LeJeune native grandmother
of Magdeleine Louise LeJeune have now been overturned. This is not
to say that somewhere farther back in Magdeleine's ancestry there
is not a native line, but her immediate family has now been
confirmed through preponderance of existing evidence, elimination
of all other likely individuals named Magdeleine LeJeune and with
the assistance of Volume 4, Pisiquid, Cobequid, etc . by Bona Arsenault.
Magdeleine's father was
Eustache LeJeune, the son of Martin LeJeune and his second wife,
Marie Gaudet. Most published claims of Magdeleine's
ancestry, including those available via the internet, have
erroneously placed Eustache as the son of Martin LeJeune's first
wife, Marie-Jeanne Kagijonais who was a Mikmaq. This
connection is in error. Firstly, Eustache LeJeune was born
during 1714 and secondly, Martin LeJeune had married Marie Gaudet
shortly before 1700.
REHEL,
Antoine
Rimouski, Gaspe, Quebec, Canada
Extensive searches of original
Gaspesie church registers and examination of already published
dictionaries have proven that Antoine Rehel (a.k.a. Reyle or Rail)
of Perce was not the child of Madeleine- Alexandre, a
"sauvagesse", and Julien Rehel. The only child born to
Madeleine-Alexandre was christened and buried on 1 January
1743.
If Antoine Rehel is the son of Julien
Rehel then he is the child that was christened at Rimouski during
1752. In that entry the child christened was a male but his
name was left blank.
Bridget Rucke was the wife of John
Taylor of Shadoxhurst and this fact is not disputed. What is
disputed is the misinformation concerning the identity of
Bridget's father, which can currently be found on the world-wide
web. There are at least two postings of misinformation - one on
the World Connect Project of RootsWeb, and one in Ancestral File
of familysearch.org. I believe that the first mentioned instance
of error - the World Connect Project information - was made as the
result of non-verification of sources used to compile the second
mentioned instance of error - Ancestral File.
In both instances the reputed father of Bridget Rucke has been erroneously given as being Philip Chute. Bridget's father was, in fact, Richard Rucke, one time mayor of Rye, Sussex, England. How did this error come about? From my research I have discerned that the Mediaeval Families Unit of the Genealogical Department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints incorrectly entered the information found in a footnote to the Taylor genealogy that is set out in Burke's Commoners. Page 238 of volume iv of Burke's Commoners states:
"He [John Taylor] m. secondly,
Bridget, daughter of Richard Rucke, of Rye, and by her (whose
will was dated in 1619) he had issue,..."
The reference to Philip Chute refers to the first wife of the same John Taylor, who was named Elizabeth, "eldest daughter of Philip Chute, of Bethersden,...".
This error has been brought to the attention of the Mediaeval Families Unit and a Post-em Display was added to the information of the World Connect Project. Unfortunately, my Post-em Display has now been removed from the World Connect Project but the information not corrected and I have been informed that information submitted to Ancestral File by the Mediaeval Families Unit is rarely, if ever, amended.
