Caledon Township Concession 4 EHS annotated land records

Series consists of typescript copies of entries from the Abstract Indexes to Deeds books originally held at the Peel Land Registry Office, covering ca. 1806 to the 1920s or so. The files were compiled by staff working for Wm. Perkins Bull as part of his research project on Peel County. The files are organized by township, concession, and lot. In addition to key details about land ownership over time, Bull’s staff also added in information from the original surveyor’s diaries (1806-1820s) with regard to local vegetation and landforms then found on each lot, as well as additional information about people and families on the land gleaned from other records. The following townships are reflected in the listings: Toronto, Toronto Gore, Chinguacousy, Albion, and Caledon. Please note that no material exists for the Trafalgar Township lands annexed to Mississauga in 1974. These records therefore cover modern day Brampton, Caledon, and most of Mississauga. These records are particularly useful for those trying to ascertain the legal history of lands in the “Credit Indian Reserve” (CIR) in southern Mississauga, given the complexity of those surveys.
