My great, great, grandparents lived for many years near Forrestville, Charlottesville Twp., Norfolk County, Ontario. I am interested in corresponding with anyone researching the following surnames: WEDGE, MORDEN, PARKER, INGLE, PERSON (PARSON).

Mordens in Norfolk Co., Ontario
I have some information on that Thomas Morden family that I obtained from a researcher in Hamilton, Ontario. However, I do not know of proven a connection. My great-great grandmother, Cornelia Morden, was born at Township Flamboro West, County Halton (Ontario, Canada) in 1821. Her parents were Moses Morden and Annie Morden. I believe that Cornelia may have had an older brother (or another close relative) named Thomas Morden, maybe born about 1800.

Re your query on the Morden family. I have information on the family of a Thomas Morden. His son, Horatio Nelson Morden was married to my ancestor, Sarah Jane Washburn. Both are buried in Rock Chapel Cemetery. Any connection?

I have been researching the family of Robert James Parker 1791? - 186? and his wife Margaret O'Brien Parker 1836-1907 from the Port Dover area 1853 - 1878. Robert died around 186? and the family moved to Galt, Ontario and later to Hespeler, Ontario where my GGGrandmother, Margaret O'Brien Parker died in 1907. They had several children: Robert Jr., Catherine Parker Beecraft(my GGrandmother), Mary Parker Walton, Margaret Parker Walton, John, David, and Peter. Margaret Sr.'s sister was Catherine Emma O'Brien, who married David Kelly from the Norfolk area. One of their children, William E. Kelly was Crown Attorney of Norfolk in early 1900's.

Harvey married Ruby Pettit (father Alfred) had son Robert (my father) in 1924.
Please help with any direction or help you can provide. It will be heartily appreciated!

I have no records of Wedges in Niagara Falls, Ontario. However, there may be an undiscovered connection I am not aware of.

Rod,
Thanks so much for your response! You are the first who has responded to many messages left on quite a few sites. My grandfather's name was Harvey and it may be possible that he had a brother named Henry. I understand from my father (Robert - son of Harvey and Ruby) that there was some bad blood between Harvey and his father, John. My father tells of the only time he saw his grandfather. On a train platform, the family ran into John. Harvey completely snubbed his father and refused to acknowledge him. My father does not know any of details that caused this rift.
Whatever the reason, and it may have nothing to do with the brick wall I'm running into, but I can find nothing on my father's line. Of course, it does not help that my family is notoriously close-mouthed, doesn't ask questions, and is almost pathological about putting anything in writing.
Currently, I live in Philadelphia, my parents live in upstate NY. My father was born and raised in Niagara Falls, Ont. He had one sister, Helen, now deceased. If you can point me towards any records I would be very grateful.
Thanks again for your response!

Henry Wedge, son of John Wedge and Angeline Dell, was probably the grandson of Jacob Wedge and Mary Ann Steinhoff. Jacob was a son of John Wedge (d. Barton, Upper Canada, 1818). Contact me for details and references.

I have Angeline Dell b abt 1866 probably in Welland, d/o Jonathan and Elizabeth (Steinhoff) Dell. She md John Wedge (I have no date or location). I have a record that John & Angeline had children: 1. Gordon 2. Grace (lived in CA by Dewey Arthur Dell) 3. Violet Myrtle b 1906, d 22 Mar 1907 4. Harvey Isiah b 1894, d 19 Sep 1966, m Ruby 5. Hulda
Unfortunately, I recorded this when I was first getting started in genealogy and did not record the source. I presume that this is your Harvey?
Jonathan and Elizabeth had children: 1. Angeline. 2. Levi b 30 Oct 1867 probably Welland, d Brookfield ON, md Charlotte "Lottie" Hayward. 3. Byron b 17 Oct 1869 Crowland, Welland. 4. Clara b 25 Feb 1872. 5. Harrison Edmund b 21 Mar 1881 Crowland.
Jonathan was the s/o Thomas and Anna Rice (Tinney) Dell; Elizabeth the d/o John and Ruth (Misner) Steinhoff.
Angeline would be my 3rd cousin, 3 generations removed.
I only have record of a few Pettits: 1. Abram b abt 1808 md Elsina Steinhoff, Settled in Windham, had 8 sons-Lyman, Duncan, Finley, Abram, Ford, Isaac, Esmond, Walter & 6 daughters - Theresa, Melissa, Eliza, Louisa, Susanna, & Mercia. Could your Alfred be the same as Ford? (maybe Alford?) 2. Alche b abt 1788 US, d 16 Jan 1876 Welland md bef 1807 to Henry Dell Sr. 3. Elijah (1820-1890) md Margaret Ann Vincent, d/o Thomas Cummings and Chloe (Dell) Vincent, 4. Susan b 1844 ON, d Otterville ON, md 30 Mar 1875 Norwich, Talbot District, ON to John Dell. She was the d/o John Utter and Catherine (Strobridge) Pettit.
