Archives: H - 11-1 West Lake Register of Births & Deaths 1829-1866 This register book is held by the Canadian Quaker Archives and Library in Newmarket, Ontario. In 2005 the original document was digitally filmed and the resulting transcription was posted on the Quaker Archives web site. The pages of the original document were not numbered and the image numbers below refer to this digital copy. The text was transcribed as written so researchers must consider the many variations in spelling when searching the transcribed text. Transcribers notes are in square brackets and hard to decipher words are indicated with question marks. This updated and proofread transcription is donated to the Canadian Friends Historical Association (CFHA). It is made freely available and supports search, cut and paste. CFHA will officially grant linking privileges to organizations that support this free access. The original transcription was coordinated by Randy Saylor and the transcriber was Tom Pollard. The recent work of updating and proof reading was done by Carman Foster. CFHA wishes to express its gratitude to all those who worked on this project. West Lake was established in 1803 as a Preparative meeting under Adolphustown Monthly Meeting. West Lake first built a meeting house on Bowerman Hill just west of Bloomfield. Due to growth, in 1817 a new and larger meeting house was built in eastern Bloomfield on the site of the current Bethany Christian Reformed Church. The old burial ground survives south of the road across from this meeting site. In 1821, West Lake was established as the Monthly Meeting and Adolphustown became a Preparative meeting. Subordinate meetings were Green Point, Ameliasburgh, Haldimand and Cold Creek. This register was started by the Hicksite Quakers after the separation in 1828. After 1828 there were now two separate Hicksite and Orthodox Monthly meetings. The old meeting house and burial ground remained with the Orthodox Quakers. The Hicksites built a new meeting house at the west end of Bloomfield. The Hicksite Burial ground is still active and situated west across the street from where the meeting house stood. Researchers are requested to cite the transcription when incorporating passages excerpted from this transcription. Please note that CFHA welcomes written comment, submissions and research related to the Canadian Quaker experience and legacy for publication consideration in The Meetinghouse newsletter or the Canadian Quaker History Journal. Please contact chair@cfha.info for additional details, and see also the submission guidelines provided on the CFHA website. This is a complete transcription and it is hoped that researchers will find it helpful. A microfilm done in 1974 is available at the Archives of Ontario. A more recent filming of the original minute book done by Ancestry.com is on line with a searchable nominal index. This full transcription and
the Ancestry images will complement each other.
