| ALEXANDER HAMILTON WINGFIELD |
Alexander Hamilton Wingfield was born in Blantyre, Lanarkshire, Scotland August 1, 1828. He immigrated to Ontario prior to 1864 when he married Margaret Malcomson in Hamilton. He was a railway shop worker and was later employed at the Custom House in Hamilton, Ontario. A description of the Hamilton Custom House and the ghost that haunts it can be found at: http://www.hauntedhamilton.homepage.com/customhouse.html Alexander Hamilton Wingfield also wrote poetry and prose and was quite well known in Hamilton. Alexander's granddaughter still lives in Hamilton and we met online. She has pictures of my great-grandfather J.J. Sanders from 1938 when he visited. I have his diary which details the trip. True connections! Copies of Alexander's poems can be found using the search facility at: |
| NELLIE LETITIA MOONEY MCCLUNG | Imagine my surprise at finding Nellie McClung in my family tree! Her father is John Mooney and I am related to his first wife Margaret Shouldice. Nellie, of course, is famous for "The Persons Case" which determined that women were people under the law and allowed to run for the Senate. Thank you to another genealogist Elizabeth who sent me this updated information... "Led by Emily Ferguson Murphy, they were trying to open the Senate to qualified females, and the word "Persons" in the relevant clause in the BNA Act was interpreted as men only. They succeeded at last with the "Persons Case" decision by the Law Lords of the Imperial Privy Council on October 18, 1929.".
