Popey in Canada

Popey in Canada

Surnames: Popey, Platten
I have info and photos on several Popey families that immigrated to Canada in the early 1800's. They are descended from James Popey b. 30 Oct 1809 in Ashmanhaugh and Margaret Leak/Leake/Lake b. 1812 who were married 12 Oct 1829. I have the parents of both of these, but, I'm not positive of their identity. Anyways, the trail has gone cold on a couple of individuals, specifically Mary Popey who married Charles Platten. I'd like to track down some of her descendents to share info and photos. There was also a Canon J. C. Popey who died in Southern Ontario who was a nephew of Mary Platten. I'm willing to share what info/photos I have. I can be reached at imochrie@sympatico.ca Thanks much.

My Popey Grandfather came to Canada in the early 1900's. I believe that he is the Great-grand son of James Popey and Margaret Leak. He did not come to Ontario area. He came to Manitoba/Alberta area. He was in Canada to enlisted from Canada in WWI.

He was line is from James>William>Charles Alfred Popey. His name was William James Popey born in Rackheath 1889.

Hi, Tom, It looks like we are related then! :) James>Margaret>Charles>Ada>Reg>me My great grandparents came to Thunder Bay - then Port Arthur and Fort William in 1911. Charles' Aunt Mary was a younger sister to my Margaret Popey and your William Popey and she and her family came and homesteaded outside of Thunder Bay in 1901, I believe. J.C. Popey, a canon in the Anglican Church came to Fort William also. He was the son of Charles, brother to Margaret, William and Mary!! Those Popeys were adventurous!! Do you have any old photos of your William Popey or by any stretch, the parents, James and Margaret Popey? I have photos of the ones that I have mentioned to you that I can email. Feel free to contact me at imochrie@sympatico.ca
