Ontario is the most populous and second-largest in area of Canada's ten provinces.
Ontario's right to Northwestern Ontario was determined by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1884 and confirmed by the Canada (Ontario Boundary) Act, 1889 of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Ontario is bounded on the north by Hudson Bay and James Bay, on the east by Quebec, on the west by Manitoba, and on the south by the American states of Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
This is the story of a young man who left Aboyne in 1844 at the age of 21, to seek his fortune in Canada.
Aboyne parish in 1841 had a population of 1138; the village itself had a very commodious inn, the Charleston Inn with 42 year old John Birse as the publican.
The people of Aboyne were orderly and industrious, shrewd and intelligent, well informed in the principles of religion and regular in their attendance at church.
