The Vear family lived at Capelton and Eustis Mines. Robert and Alice Vear had twelve children (6 boys and 6 girls) all born at Eustis Mines.
I am looking for information on Elizabeth Haldenby - mother of Robert Vear. She was born in Richmond, Quebec. ALso looking for data on James and Mary Vear, grandparents of Robert Vear.
The Caunters lived in the North Hatley area. Alice Caunter married Robert Vear.

Phil, could you give me more details about Elisabeth Haldenby. We do have some information on Haldenby families in Ontario. If you could include D.O.B wherabout she was last known to live or names of the other relatives I would check in the book of Echo Bay, Ontario. I am also looking for information on a Maud Haldenby. All we know of her is her name and she gave birth to my grandfather. It seems she is not related with the Haldenby's in Ontario, I am having trouble finding her anywhere. Thank you Marcel

In 1857 Mary Andrews Vear came to Canada with her three sons, James,William and Robert. Mygreat great grandfather is James. James was born in England in 1843, his brothers wer born in France, William in 1847 and Robert in 1855. Their father's name was Thomas. Unfortunately Idon't know where or when he died only that it was before 1861. Robert married Eliza Short 15-12-1874 in th Congregational Church. William married Elizabeth Haldenby 24-05-1870 in the Methodist Church. James married Jane McGee in approximately 1866 but I don't know where. If you are searhing for Haldenby try using Familysearch as there is a family history and pedigree in the Ancestor file. Someone has already done a great deal orf research.
This is about all I know going backwards with the family so far, I am still searching. If you are interested in knowing about more modern Vears there are a lot of them. I would be interested in talking about the family with you, as well as about the anscestor hunt if you are interested.

Great information. I will be happy to pass along any information I have on the Vears of Eustis Mines. My father-in-law was one of 12 children of Robert Vear and Alice Caunter. They were all born at Eustis Mines.
