John,
I am curious which families you are researching.
It seems that most of the families living there at that time ended up
related to one another.
I have done a fair amount of searching of the Mills and Freeman familes
along with their married into familes in Concession 2 in the lots numbering
in the 20's.

> I am interested in identifying locations of Crown lots which were granted
in West Flamborough in the 1820s but am not sure how to proceed. As I
understand it the boundary between Coote's Paradise (Dundas), and West
Flamborough was at that time West Street, with everything to the west of
this being in West Flamborough and everything to the east being in Coote's
Paradise.

records. It is pretty easy to spot on a map the lots in Dundas as they are
listed in the registry records by street name - e.g. lot 2 in the block
north of North Quay - and these frequently show up even on modern maps.
However in West Flamborough they are listed only by Concession number - lot
20 on Concession 1, for example - but I can't go further than that as none
of the maps that I have been able to locate show these numbers.

someone can help me to relate the concessions in West Flamborough in the
1820s to street names or other landmarks that are there today so I can
pinpoint just where the lots from the land registry records are. I think
that I heard at one time that Governor's Road was Concession 1 but I'm not
sure of this. Any hints or guidance will be very much appreciated.
