My ancestor, William Howard, purchased LOT C, East Gore, Township of Grimsby, Lincoln County Ontario, Canada, in 1817 (Source: Film #170114, Abstract Index Books, 1798- 1957, Lincoln County (Ontario) Registrar of Deeds). It was sold in 1863 by the widow Mary Howard, per Instrument #13990.
On 11 June 2014 I viewed Grimsby Township [Deed Book]...D...Film 170117 and copied Instrument #13990 (abstracted below):

Instrument Date: 30 November 1863

An expanded view of #13990:

Working backwards, Instrument #5222 (Film #10151) is needed to view the transaction where William Howard was the Grantee for the above-described parcel of land.
