| Note | The 1851 agricultural census for South Dumfries shows C. Bawtinhimer with 100 acres on lot 4 of the 6th concession. The every-person census shows Charlotte with six children plus a John Bawtinhimer, age 86, evidently her father-in-law. The 1861 every-person census list the family beginning with Charlotte, age 46. Her name is immediately followed by son Levi, farmer, age 26. The family name is shown as Boltenhamer, or Bottenhamer. Or at least Bottenhamer is the interpretation of the handwriting made by the Brant County branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society when they performed a transcription of this census for Brant County. This transcription is not dated, but is surely before its appearancein images on Ancestry. The issue here is that Ancestry's presentation of the Agricultural census is to be found for all Brant County townships on images 240 thru 273. South Dumfries specifically is to be found on images 269 thru 273. Perusing the Brant OGS transcription, it becomes immediately obvious that there is a South Dumfries agricultural census page missing on Ancestry's presentation. This appears to be the first page and to include the property holder for C6-L4 which the transcription interprets as Bottomhammer. In the column for the given name appears a question mark. Because Library & Archives Canada then worked with Ancestry's presentation, the images appear to have omitted this particular agricultural page. The Brant County OGS transcription worked from the microfilmed images of this census. At one time, the Archives of Ontario had copies of these reels, though the reel headers were sometimes quite frayed. You researcher has not attended at the AO to see if these are still available there. Death reg. 001242-77 South Dumfries, Brant Co. Charlotte Bawtinhimer died Sept 7, 1877. Aged 63 years. Farmer's wife. Born Ancaster, Canada. Wesleyan Methodist. Physician and informant Dr. Lundy, Galt. |
