Looking for any info on Ransford Harvey Whitehead. He was in the 1871 census 22 years old Middlesex,East Sub-district Westminster. I am trying to find out his wife's first name. Her last name, I think was Munger. They had 3 children born in Canada. Oliver B. about 1873, Emma about 1876 Charles Eaustus born about May of 1878. Birth year might not be exact. Would there be a way to look at a marriage record. Ransford Whitehead was born in Ontario.Then he and the children came to Huron County, Michigan.Any help would be appreciated. Judy

There are still many Whiteheads in London, although I am unsure if they are the same family. There is a well known professor by that name at the local university. I did not find exactly what you are looking for, but the 1878 historical atlas of Middlesex County shows a "W. Whitehead" on the north side of Concession One, Lot 19., Westminster Township. Today this is Commisioners Road East, in London, Ontario. From the locaiton you give, very possibly the same family. The farm is just south of the South branch of the Thames River (there is a north & south branches of the river). The London city directory form that time period might have the family listed under westminster Township, and we have them here in the local public library, but I haven't the time to go down and look up my own research lately. :) Hope that helps some joe

Nancy, I am not related to Ransford Whitehead family. I am helping a cousin find info about the Whitehead family. I think she has been in contact with you, she is in Michigan. I have found some info on them for her. I have to send it snail mail to her maybe tomorrow. Either me or her will share info with you. I found out a little bit. Which I can't wait to give my cousin. She will probably share it with you. Also I found out Ransford Whitehead's 1st wife's name.Which I was excited about. I will be in touch with you soon or my cousin will be in touch with you. Judy

Are you still looking for Whitehead info? Have a good chunk on this family. I work with a group who are documenting Brick Street Cemetery. We are adding marking bricks for those buried in the cemetery that do not have grave markers. Emmeline Whitehead and her husbands bricks were just ordered this week. There Daughter Annie Connely is also buried in BSC, along with Williams Sister,and several other relatives.
