Hi! Just a thought. There are the Drouin Records on-line. It used to be
thought that they only contained RC records, but my very "Church of England"
Bunch is on there. Don't know if they contain the Lakefield district or
not, but worth a try. I have some Dawsons in my line too, in Canada, but
they married into "my" Acton-Moore line in Montreal, in the latter half of
the 1800's.

Hi there,
I am away from home visiting family but will have a look at my genealogical
materials for Ematris when I get home to see if I can find any connection to
your Ematris ancestors.
My connection is through my maternal grandfather, Henry Wesh(aka Walsh) who
was evidently born there. His parents emigrated to Scotland when he and his
younger brother were quite young.I have some names of his ancestors in
Ireland but not much more than that.
I do not have the maps/government grants you refer to. My mother came to
Canada in 1927 and married an English born homesteader in Saskatchewan in
1929.I have his homestead records but they would not be of use for the
province ofQuebec.
If I find anything that looks useful I will let you know.
Please note my email address has been updated to

Cheers
Rosemary

government grants (100 acres) to settlers in the early 1800's that could
apply to a Joseph Dawson and his wife, Jane Fleming, who we think might be
from Ematris Parish, Monaghan County, Ireland (Church of England or
Protestant Scot/Irish). Joseph and his wife would probably have been born
in Ematris around 1780-1790 or so. I am also wondering about an Edward
Dawson, born in 1700's, who would have been granted land in the same place.
