[BOOK 1].
Names of Emigrants 1845-1847. Records of James Allison, Emigrant Agent at Montreal (Quebec Canada)
These records relate to immigrants arriving at Montreal (Quebec Canada) from Europe and United Kingdom in the 1840s. James Allison was responsible for providing provisions (food) and transportation to destitute immigrants who were travelling from Montreal to locations in Upper Canada (present day Ontario) for settlement. A typical record contains at a minimum the name of the individual, the date he or she is travelling, where the individual is going and how many others with him. Some records contain the name of the ship the person sailed on to Canada. Other records provide the name of the Ship the individual will sail on from Montreal to other parts of Upper Canada.
You may check Olive Tree Genealogy's online index to Records of James Allison, Emigrant Agent at Montreal (Quebec Canada) to see if your ancestor is listed. The online index is NOT the complete record!
[BOOKS 2-4] Canada Company Remittance Books 1843-1847 in 3 Volumes.
There is a great deal of genealogical information in the Canada Company Remittance Books. The Canada Company sent money to friends and family members of settlers in Canada. The books record the receipt of the sent money in England, the recipient, the sender, and the destination. Often the occupation of the recipient is noted, as is the exact location and relationship of the sender. This invaluable set of records in book form extracts the names of people receiving money, people sending money, where the money was sent (in care of), location of both sender and recipient, and notations of genealogical value such as "if recipient deceased, money to go to her daughter Mary". No online index available

This index was taken from passenger lists of more than 3,000 names found in the British Colonial Office records. A typical record consists of the name of an individual, date of arrival in Canada, and details to obtain his or her full record on microfilm. No online index available
