Ann,

I don't know of any site that has or had this information.
But you can often find names of someone in Upper Canada/
Canada West/Ontario in local newspapers of the time.

I found mention of a distant relative back in the 1840s
sending money to Ireland when he lived in Guelph

<http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/guides/rg_212_newspap
ers.aspx>

has a list of all newspapers it holds
