Name of creator
Administrative history
Duff Pastoral Charge was created July 1, 1989, from the division of Pheasant Creek Larger Parish (which also created Abernethy-Lemberg and Balcarres Pastoral Charges). Prior to this, the preaching point at Duff had been included in Balcarres Pastoral Charge (ca.1960s). Duff Pastoral Charge was officially closed June 30, 2007.
Name of creator
Administrative history
Pheasant Creek Larger Parish was a pastoral charge created around 1969, from an amalgamation of Abernethy-Lemberg Pastoral Charge (with Abernethy, Lemberg and Neudorf points), Balcarres-Pheasant Forks Pastoral Charge (with Balcarres, Duff and Lorlie points) and File Hills "Indian" Pastoral Charge. Around 1980, File Hills separated to re-establish itself as a separate charge.
As of July 1, 1989, the charge was split into Abernethy-Lemberg (a.k.a. Lemberg-Abernethy), Balcarres, and Duff Pastoral Charges.
Name of creator
Administrative history
Pheasant Forks Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Abernethy Presbytery and including points at Pheasant Forks, Duff and Lorlie. By 1962, the points joined with Balcarres Pastoral Charge to form the combined Balcarres - Pheasant Forks Pastoral Charge. Around 1969, the joint-charge amalgamated with Abernethy-Lemberg Pastoral Charge (with Abernethy, Lemberg and Neudorf points) and File Hills Pastoral Charge to become the new Pheasant Creek Larger Parish.
Custodial history
Original provenance for many of the records in the fonds is unclear. Items listed under A.1107.XV were transferred to the archives around 2013 or earlier (accessioned as 2013-486).
Scope and content
The fonds consists of textual materials generated by Duff Pastoral Charge, its predecessors, constituent churches and associated communities – their boards, committees and related bodies, local women’s units and other groups.
Contents include: minutes of church boards, and stewards’ meetings (1932-2007); minutes of the local U.C.W. (1964-2007); a historic membership roll for Duff and Lorlie (1886-2007); and a register of baptisms, marriages and burials (1960-2007). Duff, Pheasant Forks, Lorlie, Abernethy, and Wanapew are among the communities identified in the register.
