Hi Mike
I don't think that your Peter Gordonier is the same Peter that I am looking for.The Peter I am looking for resided in Trenton.I found a "Petter Gordienier" in the 1871 census for Trenton Village.This is what the census said:
Petter Gordonier born Quebec, 46 years old (born 1825), ethnic origin German, occupation Farm Servant.Wife E. Mary born Ontario, 40 years old (born 1831).The "E" could stand for "Ellen". Daughter E. Harriet, born in Ontario, 11 years old (born 1860).The "E" could stand for "Elizabeth".The approx year for the daughter is close to what her death certificate says for year of birth which says 1863.Elizabeth used "Harriet", "Ellen", "Elizabeth" for first and middle names for her daughters.So I beleive that this is the right family that I found in the census.
I don't have any other information on the "Gordonier" family.Sorry I could not help you with your "Gordonier's".But thank you for your information you posted.
