    Default Justin family of Ontario

    Looking for the Justin family that came to Canada, from Southern Ireland.



    I think William Justin lived in Guelph in the 1920's



    Sidney Justin and his sister Hannah.



    Sidney married Leona ? a Canadian girl and they had a son call Herbert.



    Hannah Justin married ? Ashworth and they had a son called Cyril Ashworth who died about 2000.



    Justin is an unusual family name and there cannot be that many that originated from Ireland.



    All help would be much appreciated.

    Hi Lance



    Do you have any other info? There are quite a few Justin's in Canada giving their birthplace as Ireland.



    Do you have any idea of William's birth year or when he may have emigrated? Were the others you list his children?



    Do you have any idea on when the others may have been born?

    William Justin was living in Guelph/ Toronto in 1922.

    There was another Justin from Ireland, also living in Toronto in 1886.

    Charles Justin Matthews was born 14.05.1886 in Toronto of Irish parents, Susan and Charles. They had also stayed with a Justin relative.

    I have made a list of all the Justins that were born in Co Offaly and County Laois.

    The other Justins I mentioned were

    Taken from the 1911 Census for County Offaly (King’s County), Eire.

    Thank you for all your help with my Justin project.



    I only have to find the birth details for the son of Harcourt and Edith Leona Justin. Think his name was Herbert.

    Hi



    I don't think I can be of much help there, as it looks likely that he would have been born in Detroit sometime in the 1930s? Unfortunately the Michigan BMD records for that period look locked up tight and I have found no way of accessing them online.



    Harcourt's naturalization record notes that he was deported from Detroit in 1938. In the 1930 census he is shown as an Assembler in an Auto Factory. This makes me wonder if he became involved in the Union militancy (United Auto Workers Union, UAW), that occurred in the automotive industry in Detroit during the mid 1930s.



    So had their child been born by then – who knows. One assumes that Harcourt and Edith then went to Canada, perhaps to stay with his in-laws, as we know that Harcourt travelled from Quebec to Liverpool in 1951 – he travelled alone and was making his way to South Green, Co. Kildare, Eire. I can find no further records for Edith.



    However, the following gives you a little more on Edith and family.



    Ontario, Canada Births, 1869-1909
