Paris Station could match (in Brant County). According to the Archives Canada Post offices site, it was open in 1865. Not sure the routing fits though for something going from the UK to Fort Erie.

I will reuse this topic :

Any one recorded U.C. cancel dated after December 2, 1863? Could it be the latest use of it? It was officially C.W. since 1841... Seems to be from SIMCOE.



Waiting news of PHSC about it...

Thank you, have a nice day!

The Simcoe U.C. hammer is reported used as late as November 17, 1864. (Source: Ontario Broken Circles by Graham).

Thank you, nice source! I did know C.W. in Simcoe was effective in 1865, still doesn't means that the old U.C has been destroyed... Postman here keeps his old broken cancel in case the new one makes problem, so yeah, recorded examples means what it means!
