On the 1901 census, which you can see at www.automatedgenealogy.com Peter is listed as a Widow. There is a death registration for Mary Kirkness in 1900 in Arthur.
Here is a birth registration for twins:
Alice Elizabeth and Ann Elira
Date of Birth: January 23, 1873
Father: Peter Kirkness
Mother: Mary Scott
Occupation of Father; Farmer
Lot 8, Concession 6, Township of Arthur
Registration No. 024602 & 024603

Karen likely has the right fellow, here, as the 1871 shows one Peter Kirkness...
the FHS site has him married to a Mary Scott , several children...
Hmmm, frustrating, as only Mary Ann and Robert show up 1881- Egremont with 4 sons:William, John, James & George
and her brother, William shows up in the U.S...But parents Peter and Mary and what is perhaps a long list of children don't show up! I'll keep looking...

This is suggested reading for those looking for passenger lists prior to 1865...

Hey, Karen, you must have put the twins on as I was looking around...( I missed seeing it!)
They likely have all this, but it's always interesting to see what records are out there...  I love looking at the copies of the census records..except the rolls & rolls of it...  J.J.

Didnt have any of that information. Am now looking at Automated geneology and it is a great place to look. Thanks for all your help. Still dont know if its the people I am looking for but no doubt relatives of some sort. Would love to see which passenger lists they are on from Scotland.

The trouble is, memories for birth & immigration dates dwindle...but dates seem to coincide not to badly...
For instance...The daughter Mary ann...says she was born Sept 5th 1855 in Ontario...(see 1901 census....they are still in Grey/ Egremont) J.J.
( birth dates are really great to have though! )

think he was still in Scotland in 1881. Have a few peters on that census. I should really talk more with my daughter in law as there are so many possibilities. Thank you for all your information.
