McGoughs, McGeoughs, and McGeoghs in Canada in the Nineteenth Century |
This page collects data about McGoughs and McGeoughs in Canada in the 1800s — and through the census of 1911. The data is far from complete. This page is a loosely organized databank that I am gradually improving.
Canada is divided into ten provinces and three territories. Each of these entities may have different types of subdivision, used for various purposes. Counties of Canada. See also Government in Canada. Geographical Names of Canada provides a searchable database of place names. On this page, I list in alphabetical order the provinces and territories, and counties within those provinces or territories, in which I found McGoughs or a variant of the name.
My US census pages are organized by counties. The data below is also organized by counties. This may be confusing. In Canada, census districts are the same as voting districts, not counties. Though the census district may have the same name as a county, it may not include the same townships.
Ages shown in the Canadian censuses are the ages at the next birthday.
A primary source is the Canadian Genealogy Centre. Several of the censuses are now available there. A good place to begin a search is Getting started with Canadian Research on Family Search.
The 1851 and later censuses of Canada have been indexed on Family Search, the website of the Family History Library in Salt Lake city. The indexes are word searchable by surname, and I have found them the easiest way to find McGoughs in the censuses. Family Search also publishes Canada, Births and Baptisms, 1661–1959, an index to birth and baptism records from Canada.
Several of the censuses are also available on Ancestry.com, including the 1871 census that is not yet available at the Canadian Genealogy Centre. Automated Genealogy in its 1901 Census of Canada Indexing Project provides an index to every name enumerated in the 1901 Census of Canada with the personal data transcribed, links to images of the original census pages, and links to other records for individuals including census records from other years, birth, marriage, death, and other records. No registration or payment is required to view the index. The 1911 Census of Canada Indexing Project has now also been completed, and work is being done to add other censuses.
The Olive Tree Genealogy has a good section on Canadian Genealogy. For good lists of resources, see Cyndi's List—Canada - General Canada Sites and Cyndi's List—Canada - Census.
The Canadian County Atlas Digital Project contains a searchable database of property owners' names that appear on township maps in forty-three county atlases from 1874 through 1881. Digital copies of county and township maps are searchable. Menus for searching the maps include Choose a County, Choose a Township, and Choose a Town. By clicking on each map, visitors can find township maps that show property boundaries, improvements, and other details.
The Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection—Canada Maps and The Atlas of Canada—contain a variety of maps of Canada. See also the W. H. Pugsley Collection of Early Canadian Maps, part of Historical Maps and Atlases On-Line, which is part of Maps & geospatial data in the Digital exhibitions & collections of McGill University Libraries; the Electoral Atlas of the Dominion of Canada (1895) on the Library and Archives of Canada; and In Search of Your Canadian Past: The Canadian County Atlas Digital Project. Some additional maps of provinces are listed below under the particular province.
For a list of Internet resources, see my page of Links under Canada. See: Immigrants to Canada. A good list of links will be found under Genealogy Links in the Genealogy and Family History section of the Library and Archives of Canada and at Canadian Genealogy and History Links. For another comprehensive list of Canadian genealogical websites, go to Cyndi's List of Genealogical Web Sites on the Internet and look under Canada. See Emigration from UK/Ireland—Goughs/Goffs in Canada. See also the links under Canada on my Links page.
Proposed Amalgamation of Various Ontario Communities, compiled by Michael Dawber, points out: "The amalgamation, re-organization, and in some cases, total abolishment of Ontario counties, townships and towns, will cause headaches for historical researchers." This website helps straighten out the confusion. Census divisions of Ontario in Wikipedia can be useful.
CanadaGenWeb's Cemetery Project offers a free and searchable listing of over 18,000 known Canadian cemeteries.

OntarioGenWeb specializes in how and where to find Ontario research rescources. Their Census Project presents transcripts of the Ontario census from them 1790s through 1911. The website of the Ontario Genealogical Society is a worthwhile resource — especially OGS Indexes and Databases. A directory of maps of Ontario will be found on Ontario GenWeb.
The Ontario Locator helps to locate Ontario villages, towns, cities, townships, counties, districts and cemeteries, as well as some lakes, bays and land formations. Ontario was known as "Upper Canada" from June 10, 1791 to February 10, 1841, and as "Canada West" from February 10, 1841, to July 1, 1867.
Many of the gravestone references are from the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid.

Here is a map of Durham county and an 1885 township map. Durham county is immediately east of York county, which contains metropolitan Toronto. Durham county is also immediately south of Victoria county, and the south boundary of the township of Ops in Victoria county corresponds to part of the north boundary of Durham county. In 1845, York county's North Riding included the township of Uxbridge. In 1852, Ontario county was created from York County and included the township of Uxbridge. In 1974, Ontario county was dissolved, and lands in the old Ontario county become part of Durham (Regional Municipality). See Municipal/Administrative history on Ontario County GenWeb.

Here is part of a posting of October 22, 2009, by Jeanie McCully on Roorsweb:
I think I should start by telling how I got where I am. My father told me his grandparents were John Karn and Mary Jane Wade, that he was a Civil War vet and she was a teenager when they married and had 3 daughters and that his mother and father were from Michigan. This was about all he could recall at the time about his mother's side of the family. I also recalled that my grandmother told me she had lived in Biloxi, MS. I found the Karn family in Biloxi in the 1920 US Federal Census (all three daughters, whom I knew personally, were there), and learned approximate birth years and locations for John and Mary Jane. It also said the girls were born in Alabama, so I started searching there. I found Mary Jane's parents there: George Wade & Mary Jane Wade. George was born in Canada in 1843. Searched again and found the whole family in 1900 in Wexford County, Michigan, then in 1880 and 1870 in the same place. Looking at the actual census images in 1880 & 1870, I
found George's parents, Dudley and Mary Wade. Dudley was born about 1819 in Canada, and his wife Mary was born about 1826 in Ireland.Now I started working on Dudley Wade. One of the first records I turned up was that there was a marriage record from the Brock District, Canada West, dated 10 August 1842: Dudley Waid married *Mary McQue*. For a long time, McQue was the name I tried to find Mary under, with zero success. This was 2 or 3 years ago.
This spring/summer, I found access on FamilySearch to scanned death records for the state of Michigan in the late 1800's, and found a child for George & Mary Jane Wade in the right county listed. But the real surprise was a few lines down: 28 Dec 1891 in Cadillac, Wexford County, Michigan, Mary Wade's death record. It listed her as born in Ireland, and her parents were *John & Sicily W . McDue*.
I thought, OK - someone on the marriage record must've had handwriting that made a capital D look like a capital Q - I've seen handwriting like that. But I got nowhere with McDue.
THEN: I found death records on seekingmichigan.org for George's brother Francis Dudley (Frank) and sister Lydia Emaline. Both had a line for name of father and maiden name of mother. Frank's listed his mother as "*Mary McGough*", and Lydia's listed her as "*M. E. Gaugh*". This confused me, until I found and read more about the surname "McGough" on the excellent website www.magoo.com. The lightbulb then clicked on for me: the reason she was listed as "McQue" and "McDue" by some sources was that McGough *basically rhymes* with those names! The "McQue" could even have been written as"McGue" and transcribed incorrectly - I've never seen the original record, unlike all the other documents I've used to support this line. And "Gaugh" falls into the list of variant spellings.
Now, I still haven't gotten any further, but at least I have found that there is a viable surname and others with it who may be able to help - and here I am! I really hope someone can make a connection for me in searching for a McGough family (Hugh, Sicily W, Mary), at least one of whom immigrated from Ireland to what is now Ontario prior to 1842. I've looked for variations of the names on every scanned Canada census I can find, but no luck.
A couple of clues I have uncovered (courtesy again of magoo.com) might be key to breaking down my brick wall, and might be familiar to someone reading this.
First clue: Dudley Wade (Mary's husband) was a witness to the marriage of"W(ater) Clark, yeoman, Southwold twp. (in Middlesex county until 1852, then in Elgin county) to *Jane McGough*, spinster, Ecford (Ekfrid in Middlesex county) twp. 31 May 1842 at Southwold twp."( This is 7 months before Dudley married Mary.) Jane McGough is documented there as the daughter of William McGough and Letitia Murdock, who later moved with their daughter & son-in-law (and other children) to Burtchville, St Clair County, Michigan. Maybe someone here recognizes this family and might know if William had a brother or other relative named John who fits the time frame.
Second clue: "1837 "Nov. 9 Mahon Boding to Rockseana Wade both of Southwold by banns. Witness: *John Magough*, Jacob Griffin." Ontario Marriage Registrations—London District Marriages, 1832–1853, Part 2. I had already run across Rockseana (Roxanna) Wade as a likely kinswoman of Dudley. So - proof that another Wade knew another possible relation of Mary. John Magough (also recorded as McGough and MacGough) of Southwold (which, by the way, is where Dudley & Mary lived before they left Canada) is documented as born on March 28, 1820, in county Mayo, Ireland. The date of birth means he could be Mary's older brother. If anyone knows any more about him: his parents' names, siblings, etc., maybe they could help me out. At least this possible lead gives me a place in Ireland to do more research, if it turns out to be my McGough family.

TONI (The Ontario Name Index) on the website of the Ontario Genealogical Society.
In an email of October 26, 2003, Peter James McGough III of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, who was born in Toronto, tells me that this Peter McGough and Helen (Marley) McGough were his grandparents:
"My grandfather for whom I was named after was one of 10 brothers and sisters and was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in I believe 1900 (Feb. 29th). Planters Peanuts was started in Wilkes-Barre and he started working for them in his early teens and moved to Toronto, Ontario in 1925 to start Planters of Canada of which he was President from 1925 until his retirement in 1965.
"My father who is Peter Jr. and was called Bud by all our relatives in Pennsylvania to avoid confusion with my grandfather, was born in Toronto in 1925 and he has two younger sisters named Helen and Sandra. All are still living and all grew up in Toronto. My grandmother was also born in Wilkes-Barre and her maiden name was Helen Marley. I noticed on your site that you list them as being buried in Woodside Cemetery in Kitchener which is correct. My grandfather died in July of 1986 at his home in Kitchener."
Peter McGough is listed in the 1910 census of the city of Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, as the ten year old son of James and Margaret McGough. In the 1900 census of the same city he is listed as the three month old son of James and Margaret McGoff.

An email of November 4, 2005, from Jim Tighe tells more of this family:
"I just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for all the work you and your family put into your McGough website. My mother discovered it and I have never seen her so happy at the resource you have provided, and now she is intent on completing the project she started shortly after my Grandfather passed away. She was especially thrilled when she saw her cousin Peter McGough had written you and his note on his grandfather in Kitchener Canada was included on your site. (Peter McGough that moved from Wilkes Barre was my Mom's uncle, her father was James P. McGough.
"He was not born at the time of the 1900 census. James P. McGough b. Jan 4 1906 d. Dec 9 1985. He was buried in Saint Patrick's Cemetery, Moscow Pa.

"I notice that you have posted on your website Michael McGough from Onslow in Pontiac County. I am a descendant of Michael's and thought you might be interested in adding the following information. Michael is buried in St. Bridget's Cemetery in North Onslow Quebec along with his wife, Honour Dolan. The couple were natives of County Mayo, Ireland and emigrated to Canada circa 1847. Their gravestones still stand in St. Bridget's cemetery. Their daughter Mary (1843-1873) married Michael Foran and were my ggg grandparents.

QC—Rimouski-Temiscouata Counties (Isle Verte)
Isle Verte
L'Isle-Verte is a small municipality on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River between Rivière du Loup and Rimouski in the province of Québec. John McGough, who was born in Ireland around 1820, married Angela Cote, who was born in Isle Verte on June 9, 1824. The marriage occurred on January 13, 1845, in the church of the parish of St. Jean Baptiste in Isle Verte. For a map of the villages mentioned below, see: Antoine and Pierre Roy along the Saint Lawrence River on Family pages for Maxime Roy and Henry Boucher (Our Roy and Boucher Family). Isle Verte is within #63 on the Map of the Old Québec Counties on this website. (Note that Aroostoook county, Maine, is almost immediately south—across either #62 Kamouraska county or #64 Temiscouata county; #65 Rimouski county is immediately east. See: The Aroostook War, by Scott Michaud, and The Border Dispute—How the Maine-New Brunswick border was finalized, by C. Gagnon.)
Angela Cote was a descendant of Jean Baptiste Cote (1670 - 1736) who became the fifth Lord of Isle Verte in 1711, and settled there in the same year. Côtés were Lords of Isle-Verte for 138 years from February 11, 1711 to October 23, 1849, that is, for 138 years. The ninth and last Lord Cote, also named Jean Baptiste Cote (spouse of Adele McClure), took over from his father, Barthélémy Côté, on November 20, 1846. The parents of Angela Cote were Francois Cote and Madeline Patoine. See: Cote & Cloutier: Surnames.

(The census return denotes John McGough and the children with a B for British, and Angela Cote with an F for French. There is an asterisk after the names of the children referencing an unusual "note in right margin." The note is in French and requires translation.The thrust of the marginal note seems to be that, even though the father of the children, John McGough, whose surname the children bear, was of British origin, the mother was French Canadian, and the family regards the children as French Canadian. Notice that the son, Thomas, age 7 in this 1851 census, lists himself as of French heritage, not Irish or British, in the 1911 census of Jacques Cartier ward of Quebec City, above.) According to information on his marriage certificate, John McGough's parents were Thomas McGough and Elizabeth McKenna. Thus far, I have seen no evidence that they ever left Ireland. John McGough was married on January 13, 1845, to Angele Cote at the church of the parish of St-Jean Baptiste in Isle Verte. John McGough died on May 29, 1875, at L'Isle-Verte, Rivière-du-Loup, Québec, Canada; and was buried on June 2, 1875, at St Jean Baptiste, L'Isle-Verte, Rivière-du-Loup, Québec, Canada.

Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan does not have counties; it has Rural Municipalities. The Municipal Relations Division of the Saskatchewan Department of Government Relations and Aboriginal Affairs maintains a Municipal Directory of these rural municipalities. In dividing this section of my web page, I have used numbered areas of the province of Saskatchewan published by the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society.
Rural Municipality Boundaries, published by the Government of Saskatchewan, contains maps detailing the boundaries of the rural municipalities. There is a List of rural municipalities in Saskatchewan on Wikipedia.
Saskatchewan Gen Web is broken Saskatchawan into 11 Saskatchewan Gen Web Regions to assist researchers in finding databases. The regions are geographically defined by the highways that are used for their borders and do not follow any physical, county, or rural municipality boundaries. An index of Saskatchewan Place Names is provided to facilitate the determination of which Saskatchewan Gen Web Region is needed for genealogical or historical research. See the explanation on the Regional Coordinators page. I use this system to separate the entries below for the province of Saskatchewan.
Many of the names in this section come from a database of Western Landgrants (1870-1930). Entering the surname McGough in their search engine produce eight entries. Entering McGeough produced six entries. This database describes homesteads by section, township and range. I found a map on the Internet that allows identification of sections, township and ranges with a nearby town on a railroad line: CNR Historical Map—Saskatchewan. This map was published by the "Department of Colonization and Agriculture" of the Canadian National Railways, and contains instruction on how to find land on the map from a reference to the section, township, and range.
"Townships are numbered from south to north starting at the U.S. border. They are numbered from 1 to 129 and 141. Ranges are numbered from east to west starting from each meridian, except for the west-to-east numbering used for the Principal and East of the Coast Meridians. They are numbered 1 to 34."

Parry
Bernard McGeough acquired, between February 26, 1910, and March 05, 1910, as a homestead: Part SW, Section 12, Township 10, Range 20, Meridian W2. Northeast of Parry (Area 1—#99) (Saskatchewan Assiniboia sector, Saskatchewan South Central sector) (about 11 miles north of the town of Pangman). Parry is a hamlet on highway 622, about 45 miles south of Regina, and about half way between Regina and the Montana border.

Devereux's notes says that he had two sons, John and Joseph, another boy, and eight girls. The John listed immediately below was probably a son, and Joseph L. McGeough listed under Area 4 may also have been a son.

The town of Govan (#250) is about 10 miles south by southeast of Nokomis in the Saskatoon Gen Web Region (#8). The town of Govan is almost exactly where Joseph L. McGeough acquired his land. Here is a posting on Ancestry.com by Denis McGeough on February 5, 2005, under "McGeoughs from Vesta, MN area: "My gf (probably John A. McGeough) emigrated from Vesta to Govan, Sask, Cn in 1905, with another brother Joseph and farmed there. I was born there as well as my father. Looking for his father's name and any siblings." Based on this note, it is safe to say that this Joseph L. McGeough was probably the son of the Josef McGeough who is listed in the 1900 census of the US in Redwood County, Minnesota.
Joseph L. McGeough's older brother was probably John A. McGeough who acquired land in SE 15 28 21 (Township 28 Range 21 W2), in the Nokomis District. See: Nokomis History—Western Landgrants—Nokomis & District. He is listed in the 1900 census of Redwood county, Minnesota, as the son of Joseph and Mary McGeough: John A. McGeough, age 17, born October, 1882, Minnesota, at school. (see below). His younger brother, Joseph, was listed as age 10.
By letter of February 2006, Anne McGeough Klotzel of Regina, Saskatchewan, tells me that she is the 49-year old eldest granddaughter of Joseph Lawrence McGeough, originally from Vesta, Minnesota, who farmed in the Govan region. She tells me that Joseph Lawrence McGeough died in 1978, and that he had five children, one of whom was her father, William Joseph McGeough, who is 79 and still lives and farms in Govan.
Semans
John A. McGeough acquired: Part: 6, Section 15, Township 28, Range 21 Meridian, W2. At the village of Semans (Saskatchewan Regina sector, Saskatchewan South Central sector), about 13 miles east by south east of Nokomis (Area 6—#280), about 67 miles north of Regina. [Name : Semans. Province/Territory: Saskatchewan. Feature type : Village. Location : 22-28-20-W2 Latitude - Longitude: 51° 25' 00" N - 104° 44' 00" W. NTS Map : 072P07 CGNDB Unique Identifier : HATPD] Western Landgrants (1870–1930). He was almost certainly the older brother of Joseph L. McGough, listed immediately above, who is listed in the 1900 census of Redwood County, Minnesota, as the son of Joseph and Mary McGeough: "John A. McGeough, age 17, born October, 1882, Minnesota, at school."
Regina
Mary McGough. Henderson's City of Regina Alphabetical Directory for 1911 at page 321 lists Mary McGough, a nurse, living in Regina (area 4 #159) (Saskatchewan Regina sector, Saskatchewan South Central sector). Western Landgrants (1870–1930).
Simpson
Patrick B. McGeough acquired: Part: SE, Section 17, Township 29, Range 26, Meridian W2. About five miles west of the village of Simpson (Saskatchewan Regina sector, Saskatchewan South Central sector), 15 to 20 miles west by northwest of the northern tip of Last Mountain Lake. The town of Nokomis is 20 miles east of Simpson. This may be the Patrick McGeough who, in the 1900 census of Redwood county, Minnesota, is listed as the 21 year old son, born in December of 1878, of Josef and Mary McGeough. He had younger brothers, John McGeough, age 17, and Joseph McGeough, age 10, both of whom moved to Saskatchewan. See Area 6, below, and see my page: McGoughs and McGues in the 1900 Census of the United States under Redwood county, Minnesota. Or he may have been a son of Bernard McGeough listed in the 1900 US census of Shieldsville, Rice county, Minnesota, as follows: Patrick McGeough, age 16, born September, 1883, Minnesota, at school. Two of this latter Patrick's brothers, may have moved to Saskatchewan in 1905. See the entries above under Saskatchewan, Area 1—Parry. Patrick McGeough, the son of Bernard and Mary McGeough, was living with his parents in Shieldsville in both 1910 and 1920.]

MCGEOGH/MCGEOUGH, Margaret-Canada
Stacy, If you are who I think you are, I have alot of information for you. Is your father Robert Brazil McGeough born in Simpson, Sask, Can.? md to Sharon Mollison from Govan, Sask? If so you grandfather would have been Bernard Benjamin McGeough and he married Monica Diamond. He as born in Govan, she in Young, Sask. If this is you,then I grew up with your mother and her brothers Ray and Rick in Govan. I have access to a published book with tons of McGeough history in it which you can get for a donation.

Re: MCGEOGH/MCGEOUGH, Margaret-Canada
I have a pedigree type file on all of David Scott Blakley Mollison that I have on my Ancestry software. ... I am not a Mollison but grew up with Glenn Mollison's children in Govan Sask, Cn. Since I was doing McGeough ancestry and there is a carry over with McGeough's marrying Mollisons, I went ahead and was able to pull a lot of the David Scott Blackley Mollison info from the Govan 75th anniversary edition of " Last Mountain Echo's". Email me and I will sent you the files that I have. Glenn Mollison's children were Sharon, Ray and Rick. Sharon married Robert McGeough my third or fourth cousin who was born in Simpson Sask. Robert's grandmother and my grandfather were brother and sister.

The 1906 census of Saskatchewan, District 15 (Qu'Appelle), subdistrict # 17, at page 3, house 37, row 18, lists John McGeough, single, age 27, born in the USA, who immigrated in 1905, on section 12, township 10, range number 20. Next door is, at house 38, row 18, is Barney McGeough, single, age 24, born in the USA, who immigrated in 1905, also on section 12, township 10, range number 20.
