Johann Friedrich Jurt1

Pedigree
Father*Johann Gottfried Jurth2 b. c 1797, d. a 2 Apr 1871
Mother*Liese Bulkow2 b. c 1800, d. 29 Sep 1878
Relationship2nd great-grandfather of Richard Graeme Moffat
Last Edited15 Nov 2023
     Johann Friedrich Jurt was possibly born on 11 April 1835 at Drachhausen, Cottbus, Brandenburg, Prussia/Preußen (modern Germany).3 Alternatively, he may have been born circa 1834 at Germany since he gave his age as 47 in 1881 census and 56 in the 1891 census4,5; or, circa 1836 at Freidland ? Frankfort oder, Prussia/Preußen (modern Germany), according to his marriage registration.6 Alternatively, he may have been born circa 1831 at Germany since he was age 40 in the 1871 census but ages were often rounded to the nearest 5 years in early census records.2 Johann married Auguste Fredericka Emile Berger on 17 December 1865 at Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada.7,6,4,2,5
     Johann Friedrich Jurt died before 31 March 1901 since his wife was enumerated as a widow in the census.8
     He immigrated in 1862 to Canada from Brandenburg Prussia.9
     Johann Friedrich Jurt was described as a Dienstknecht (Service farmhand) in 1862.9
     Frederick and Augusta Gurt appeared on the 1871 Canadian Census of Algona Twp., Renfrew County, Ontario, enumerated 2 April 1871. Frederick was described as a Farmer and an Evangelical. Their children, Frederick, Anna and William, were listed as living with them. As were his parents, Gotlip Gurt and Elisabeth Gurt.2
     Frederick and Augusta Ewit appeared on the 1881 Canadian Census of Raglan & Radcliffe Twps., Renfrew County, Ontario, enumerated 4 April 1881. Frederick was described as a W. Meth(odist) and a Farmer. Their children, Frederick, Anne and Eliza, were listed as living with them. Ibelieve this is the Jurt/Yourt family because: 1) all family names and estimated years of birth except Eliz/Louisa are correct, 2) Frederick and Augusta were born in Germany, 3) phonetically "Ewit" sounds right (English enumerators probably had problems with German names.)5
     Frederick and Augusta Yurt appeared on the 1891 Canadian Census of Raglan & Radcliffe Twps., Renfrew County, Ontario, enumerated 6 April 1891. Frederick was described as an Evangelical. Their children, Frederick, Annie and Louisie, were listed as living with them. As were their granddaughters (Annie's daughters), Emma Doering and Rosanna Yurt. Note that Annie's daughter Esther is not enumerated which might support the 1891 birth date, if other primary documents did not give the 1890 date.4
     Frederick was enumerated near the household of Mary Sumach in 1891 so we can probably assume they were neighbours.10
Reference. [According to Appendix B page 297 in "Harvest of Stones" Yurt may be a Wendish name. Wends were a small Slavic group from "a vaguely defined area in southeastern Germany, approximately fifty miles southeast of Berlin." It further notes "The Wends understand only a little German, though they are all Evangelical Lutheran."]11
