  • Notes 

    • In the 1875 Historical Atlas of Brant County, H. Conkwright is on Lot 17, Concession XIV, 25 Acres, Township of Burford South, Brant County
      (From looking at the Atlas, I would say H. Cronkright has 50 Acres, the north west quarter, and G. Cronkright has 25 acres, the east part of the the south west quarter)

      From John Cardiff's Nornet
      Ranelagh -- former hamlet in Windham Township, on Lots 18 and 19, Concession 1, on Regional Road 25 along town line with Burford Township, Brant County west of town of Scotland. Apparently named for Ranelagh Park, near London, England. The 8 Mar 1882 British Canadian reported the Ranelagh post office had revenue of $50.87 and salaries of $16; the 14 Mar 1888 British Canadian newspaper reported the Ranelagh post office had revenue of $64.85 and salaries of $20 in the year ending 30 Jun 1887 [GPS:59.502/29.995]

      Ontario Locator - Ranelagh - Currently Exists; Geographic Location Windham Township & Burford Township, Norfolk County & Brant County
      (Lots 18 & 19 in the 14th Concession of Burford South would be across the townline from Lots 18 & 19 in Concession 1 of Windham)
