AINSLIE

AINSLIE/AINSLEY : The following family with an English sounding name appear in the 1861 census for Inverness Tsp, as all RC, and all born in Lower Canada. They may be descendants of one of the Ainsley soldiers who came over with Wolfe's army in the 1750s, mustered out in Lower Canada, and were francicized along the way through marriage. (There was a Thomas Ainslee from Jedburgh, Scotland who came to Lower Canada before 1766 and settled at Woodfield, LC. He was Collector of Customs and married Mary Potts. They had a son Thomas Phillip Ainslie b 21 Aug 1766 in LC. This is only one of the early Quebec Ainslie families, and may not be the correct connection for the following family.)

both John or Jean or even Jean-Baptiste......a bit confusing!
