DURAND /
DURRAND : response
In specific answer to the query,
neither volume of A. Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada Before Confederation has any DURAND/
DURRAND references. Although probably representing a different family,
the name DURAND is well-known in the Hamilton area.
The Dictionary of Hamilton Biography refers to James
DURAND (1775-1833), Member of
the Legislature and Registrar of the Gore District, who was born in Wales. His daughter
Harriet DURRAND (1802-1856), wife of Peter Hunter
HAMILTON is buried in the Hamilton Cemetery.
As for the family mentioned in the query, Alexander
DURRANT, age 71, born Scotland,
a cooper, appears in the index to the 1871 census for the Town of Dundas, not far from
Hamilton. Alexander
DURRAND of Hamilton, cooper, served as bondsman in connection with
the 1834 marriage of Walter
BLACKHALL to Catherine
PELKENTON. Of possible interested is
a gravestone in the Hamilton Cemetery [no dates given] for one Alexander
DURRAND and wife
Adeline TALLMAN. Finally, the marriage of the couple in the query is contained in the marriage
register of Knox Presb Church at hamilton : Alexander
DURAND and Mary
MOFFAT, both of
Hamilton, married 7 Oct 1836, by banns, witnesses: : Frederic
SUTER and Thomas
ROLPH, both of Ancaster.

Feb 2003 issue :
LUNDY : (response)
The LUNDY Family by William C.
ARMSTRONG (1902) gives an excellent account for most
branches of this prolific Quaker family who came to Ontario.
Unfortunately, for Jeremiah
LUNDY (1780-1856) of Scott twp, there is only the statement that he
had 2 children by his first wife, Jerusha
STEVENS and several children by second wife Rebecca
CROSSLEY.
Perhaps all that can ever be done to identify these children is by the process of elimination,
considering the members of the
LUNDY family who are not known to fit elsewhere.
1. Jerusha
LUNDY .. research done decades ago by a researcher of the
HUGHES family (also
Quaker) shows that Eli
HUGHES (b.1812) was m. to Jerusha
LUNDY, who very likely could be
named for her mother. Eli may have died in Collingwood in 1862.
2. Nathaniel
LUNDY (bc1815) .. found in the 1852 census of King twp, 1861 Mulmur twp and
1871 Tosorontio twp, m. Eliza
McMARTIN in 1849. One of his sons was named Pearson Crossley
LUNDY, which could indicate a connection with Jeremiah's second wife.
3. Samuel LUNDY (bc1820) .. with wife Mary, found in the 1871 census of Scott twp.
4. Joseph LUNDY (bc1825) .. found in the 1871 census of Tecumseth twp, wife was appaently Mrs
Mary STEWARD/STEWART/STUART (m. 1848) and a daughter was named Rebecca.... after her grandmother?
5. Jeremiah
LUNDY (bc1829) .. 1871 census of Scott with wife Susannah. Could he obviously be
named after Jeremiah Sr, his father?
6. William
LUNDY (c1801-1881) .. with wife Mary (c1813-1899), both buried in the Quaker
cemetery at Schomberg and do not seem to fit anywhere else into the
LUNDY family.
7. Enos LUNDY (1823-1902) .. as stated in the query, he is almost certainly a child of Jeremiah, with a
daughter Rebecca S.
LUNDY who would no doubt be named after her grandmother.
