All born Canada unless shown otherwise There is a lot of information about Alfred Brant COLEMAN, the following is an article from the "Burlington Historical Society" The following article by Dorothy Turcotte is taken from Burlington: the Growing Years. It’s one in a series provided by the Burlington Historical Society. Alfred B. Coleman was born in Woolwich, England in 1865 and came to Canada with his parents when he was still a boy. The family first settled in Hamilton then came to Burlington. At the age of 13, A.B. as he was known, worked on Mr. Bell’s Lockhart Road farm for 50 cents a day. He was always interested in building and as a young man taught himself to make and read blueprints. By the time he was 21, he owned the Ontario Street planing mill, which later became Nicholson’s. Soon he was fulfilling his dream of building homes. One of these was the ‘Gingerbread House’ located at 1375 Ontario St., across from St. Luke’s Church. This unusual building incorporates many interesting architectural features. Coleman lived in this house until 1899, when he purchased the Brant House property and built a huge modern hotel on the site and named it the Brant Hotel. It immediately became the holiday resort of choice for many Canadians and Americans. Steamers came from Hamilton to the dock in front of the hotel bringing crowds of guests for picnics and day trips. As soon as the hotel was completed, the Coleman family moved to Toronto where A.B. was involved in several major building projects. In 1909, he and his family returned to Burlington. On his return, he bought a small piece of property across the road from the hotel on the lakefront and called it his country club. A.B. began to develop the nearby property at the mouth of Indian Creek naming it Indian Point. First he made the development accessible by building a road and foot bridge. Then he laid out a six-hole golf course. Next, he built several large bungalows which he rented to wealthy patrons. This later became an exclusive residential district, with attractive stone gates at each of the two entrances. When the federal government expropriated the Brant Hotel as a military hospital in 1917. Coleman turned his attention to his country club. He expanded it into a fine hotel with fine dining and dancing and named it the Brant Inn. In 1937 he hired Murray Anderson and Clifford Kendall as managers. When A.B. Coleman died in 1938 this team purchased the Brant Inn from the estate and went on to make it one of the most famous night spots in North America. 1870 Family listed on Canada Passenger List - Richard (40), Elizabeth (37), Richard (17), George (15), Benj (13), Alfred (4) and Charles (2) 1871 St Lawrence Ward, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada 1881 Ward 4, Hamilton City, Ontario, Canada 1891 Nelson, Halton, Ontario, Canada 1901 Nelson, Halton, Ontario, Canada 1911 Burlington, Halton, Ontario, Canada Not happy with the death I had in 1923, I cannot find on Ontario deaths to 1938 and it is on the same day as Richard which is there, could be but it would be rather a coincidence. There is a Family Tree on Ancestry.com that says the death was in 1940. Have now found an Obituary in Burlington Gazette which I cannot actually look at without payment but it is for an issue on 9th October 1940 which I think proves that was when he died. (Changed to show he died in October 1940) I have found this which relates to Charles Findley, I have put in bold the relevant bit of information. This house appears to have been called "Idlewyld" and was at 1337 Ontario Street, Burlington, Ontario, Canada and was demolished in the end in 2004 THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF BURLINGTON BY-LAW NUMBER 1-1982 A By-law to designate property located at 470 Nelson Avenue, Part Lots 22 and 47, Registered Plan 65, in the City of Burlington, as property having of historic and architectural value and interest. WHEREAS by Section 29(6)(a) of The Ontario Heritage Act, 1974 S.O. 1974, Chapter 122, the Council of a municipality shall pass a by-law designating property to be of historic or architectural value or interest. AND WHEREAS the provisions of Section 29, The Ontario Act, 1974, have been complied with; AND WHEREAS no notice of objection was served on the Clerk of the City of Burlington; THE COUNCIL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF BURLINGTON HEREBY ENACTS AS FOLLOWS: 1. That property more particularly described in Schedule “A” hereto is designated for historic and architectural value and interest. 2. That this by-law shall take effect from the date of its registration in the Land Registry Office for the Registry Division of Halton (No. 20). 3. That a copy of this by-law be served on the owner and The Ontario Heritage Foundation. 4. That a copy of this by-law be published in a newspaper having general circulation in the municipality of the City of Burlington. ENACTED AND PASSED this 27th day of February, 1978. MAYOR: _____________________________________ CLERK: _________________________________ SCHEDULE “A” REASONS FOR THE DESIGNATION The exterior of this property is recommended for conservation as property having historical and architectural value and interest by the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee of the City of Burlington. The property was purchased by Mr. Charles Findley Coleman in 1890 and a building was subsequently erected. Mr. Coleman was a house and sign painter, paperhanger, decorator, grainer and florist. In 1918, he became Mayor of Burlington. The house is two and one-half storeys, flat gabled end. The four inch channel groove clapboard has been restored. The entrance is double-doored with glass insets capped by a transom light and stained glass. The window and door trim are of Greek or Classical Revival showing an angled pediment above the lintel and plain sideboard trim on the jambs. The round top window in the peak of the gable is interesting and the carvings above illustrates the "Gaiety of Gables" and is included in Anthony Adamson's book of that title. SCHEDULE “B” ALL AND SINGULAR that certain parcel or tract of land and premises situate, lying and being in the City of Burlington, in the Regional Municipality of Halton, formerly in the Town of Burlington, in the County of Halton, and being the northwesterly fifty (50') of even width throughout from front to rear of Lots forty-seven (47) and twenty-two (22) Eager's Survey, Plan Number 65; SAVE AND EXCEPT the lands described in Deed from Gordon Hall and Lillian Mary Hall to the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario dated on the 9th day of December 1952 and registered as No. l666l-Q for Burlington, as shown on Plan No. 203-4939 attached thereto. ALSO SAVE AND EXCEPT that part of the said Lot forty-seven (47) occupied by The Canadian National Railways. The above lands are as described in Deed dated the 12th day of October 1973 and registered in the Land Registry Office for the Registry Division of Halton (No. 20) on the 1st day of November 1973 as Instrument Number 376687. There is also information as follows which is for demolition of a Greenhouse built by Charles Findley COLEMAN, there is a picture accompanying the article of the Greenhouse. This appears to be one of the greenhouses originally owned by Charles Findlay Coleman, whose house was “Idlewyld” at 1337 Ontario Street. It was demolished in 2004 for low-rise residential redevelopment. Charles Coleman was in 1902 “one of the leading painters and decorators in this County”. "Mr Coleman also carries on a large and successful Florist business. He has a number of hot houses, giving employment to a number of men, and does a wholesale and retail business, finding a wholesale trade in the cities of Hamilton and Toronto, and a retail trade at home, Burlington. The principal flowers he grows being violets, roses, carnations and chrysanthemums. Mr Coleman is a young man, being 33 years old. His first work when a boy was with a florist, which business he learned, at the same time working at the painting after business hours. ... After a few years of hard work he bought a beautiful home with extensive grounds and there started the hot house business. His residence is one of the prettiest and most beautifully situated homes in Burlington." ("The Garden of Canada", p. 21) In 1918 he was elected Mayor of Burlington. His residence – like his brother’s residence, "the Gingerbread House” – was a masterwork showpiece of their building and decorating skills.

Most of the information we have found but some of it again has been taken from the same Web Site..

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.
