Margaret Mailer b.1808

Lyle_Jeakins — 5 Jun 2008 6:00:05 GMT

I am researching the family of Margaret Mailer who immigrated from Scotland around the early 1830's. She settled in the Puslinch Township area with Duncan Mcfarlane b.1798. They had five children, Anne, Duncan jr., William, Peter and Andrew.

I have a hunch Margaret and perhaps her husband, Duncan, came from the Perthshire area of Scotland.

Any information would be appreciated.

Regards,

Lyle Jeakins

Immigration in 1860

MerrileeOlson44 — 29 May 2008 11:54:29 GMT

Hello all. I have an ancestor that supposedly immigrated to Canada (Quebec?) in 1860. He was from Scotland. His birth was approx 1852 which would mean that his family (or part of it) came over with him. His name was Alexander Matthews. Can anyone suggest where I might find information on what ship, where they entered Canada etc.
Thank-you in advance

It was of this stock that Andrew MacKinnon was born, at Lennox, in Antigonish county, in 1882. He was of the pure Celtic strain, his father being Angus MacKinnon. and his mother Margaret MacGillvray.....He was married in 1915 to Miss Lorretta McMaster, of Port Hood, N.S.

Ships - Glasgow to New Brunswick - 1841/1842

DavidMPaterson — 6 Mar 2003 6:51:01 GMT

Greetings Everyone. My Great Great Grand Parents left Glasgow to live in the Miramichi area of New Brunswick, Canada. John Craig went over in 1841 and his wife Elizabeth (Orr) travelled the following year with their son Thomas. I know they were there at the appropriate times as they appear on Census forms. While certainly ships did travel to Chatham/Newcastle in the Miramichi, I can't at that end find a trace of any from Glasgow during either 1841 or 1842.
Can anyone suggest alternative sources that I can check, please.
They were married in Kilbirnie/Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland.
