The accepted story is that the Readys immigrated from Ireland, and were given a land grant which is now the centre of the town of Perth. Relatives told them that Perth was not an ideal area, and that they should move to Bastard Township on the Rideau as there was plenty of fishing and hunting. Apparently, the cabin that they built near Portland is still in existence being used as an extra bunkie for a cottage.
The Censuses of 1851 for S. Elmsley, Burgess and Bastard Townships do not include any residents with the surname "Ready", although there is William "Rady" in the 1851 Agricultural Census for South Burgess at L11 CII, holding 70 acres. The William and Elizabeth Ready family were burying their departed at St. Peter's Anglican, Newboyne in as early as 1855. They appear in the 1861 Burgess census. By the 1871 Ontario Census, Austin, Michael and Ellen appear in the Elmsley census.
The death dates seen on most tombstones listed here are from the 20th Century, with a few exceptions. John Ready at St. Peter's Anglican, Newboyne is the earliest in 1855.
In sorting out these many Readys, it appears that these are the major family groupings, for whom we so far have no interconnections:
