Hi Maggie,

Most of my Sanders family came to Ontario around 1865. I can find some of them on the Devon census for 1851
(but not all) and I have info on some of them settling or being married in Ontario in 1865. I don't have any
info on the Lake family except what is mentioned in my ggrandfather's diary.
