Father*: Oastrom Dingman b. 17 Mar 1866, d. 27 Aug 1903
Mother*: Melissa Samis b. 19 Jan 1865, d. 1957
Birth*: 8 August 1887; Brighton Twp., Northumberland Co., Ontario; Birth Reg'n.: Name: Austin Elhanan Dingman; Born: Aug 8 1887; Place: Brighton Twp.; Parents: Ostrom Dingman & Melissa Samis; Occ.: farmer; Inf.: Ostrom Dingman, Brighton Twp.; Reg'd.: Mar 19, 18??; Dr. Mallory; Reg'r.: A. A. Becker (Last digits of year are cut off for both date or birth and registration)
Note: There was a correction for the Birth Registration in 1904 by the mother in which the middle name was clarified as Elhanan.
Per 1901 Census.
Middle Name: "I noticed on Austin's birth record that he was listed as "Oscar L. Nathan Dingman" His middle name was probably "Elnathan" which is a common old school name. He must have liked Austin better that Oscar!" per email from Sandy Wunder, Feb 21 2010.
Actually, both Austin and his brother Oscar had the same middle name and the Registrar had a heck of a time with it. Both Birth Registrations were corrected later and even then it is not clear what spelling they wanted. I expect the spelling that Sandy Wunder provides "Alnathan" is correct.4
