I was wondering if anyone would mind having a look for the 1841 Census report for me?

I'm looking for George Tasker born abt. 1762 Dundee and was still living until 1842, he was married to Isabel Graham(e) born abt.1769 I don't know when she died.
They had a son also called George Tasker born abt. 1792 Dundee, again don't know when he died. He was married to Elizabeth Lamb in 1822 Dundee and had at least one son. James Smith Tasker born abt. 1825.

Thank you in advance.

I wonder if anyone can help me... I have been having a great deal of trouble with this branch of my tree.

My great grandmother was Alice Elvira Rouleau b. 25 May 1898 in Neepawa, Manitoba. She was the 9th child of Francis Xavier Rouleau 9 Aug 1848 Quebec and Hannah Eliza Stephenson 30 Aug 1861 Guelph, Ontario. They were married 9 Aug 1880 in Brantford, Ontario.

I have found out a great deal about Hannah's family but Francis is proving very hard. The family records say that Francis was the second child (first son) of Joseph Rouleau (born between 1790/1800 L'Isle Verte, Quebec.) and his second wife Marie Taschereau (or Tachereau). However, I can't find any record of their marriage.

It also appears that his first wife (Euphrosine Patonie 1806 - 1874) was still alive during the years that he was 'married' and having children with Marie.

The Rouleau's were a well known Catholic French- Canadian family as were the Taschereau, so it seems unlikely that this was an affair.  Normally while doing family research I would look at this and say it was the wrong 'Joseph', but I have records linking Francis with 2 of his half-brothers. Charles Borromee 1840 and Edouard Hector 1843.

I was sent old family documents that confirmed and contradicted my findings and records. The family document say that Francis's father was called Michal or Joesph Rouleau with all the other information the same. I found no record of a Michal Rouleau but did find a family tree listing Michal as Francis's father.

The other possibility is that Francis himself was not who he said he was. Can anyone help me untangle this web?

I was wondering if anyone can help me confirm or disprove the relationship between these two.

I have a Williamina Sutherland B. 8 Aug 1868 in Dunbeath, Daughter of Donald Sutherland b. 25 Sept 1836 in Latheron & Ann(ie) Grant b. 29 Sept 1838 in Ramscraigs They married 5 Feb 1857 in Dunbeth.

Donald Gunn Sutherland was the son of Hugh Sutherland b. 1813 Balachuistel & Barbara Gunn b. 1815 Dunbeth, married 1 Jan 1836 in Latheron

Ann Grant was the daughter of John Grant 1820 Caithness & Elizabeth Gunn 1820 Caithness

Hugh Sutherland I have traced a bit past, John Grant I've not managed past him...Here is were it gets....odd.... I have that Elizabeth Gunn & Barbara Gun are sisters..... both the daughters of Robert Gunn b.1780 in Caithness & Isabella Sinclair b. 1783 Caithness, married 7 Feb 1805 in Latheron

Can anyone help?

I am helping a friend with her family history and have run into a bit of a query.... I have a marriage record for  James Currie (a mason/ journeyman) 18 & Margaret Sharkey 18 of Glasgow dated 12 April 1878.

Her parents were listed as John & Margaret (m.s. Taylor) which I have confirmed is correct.

His parents were listed as John and Margaret (m.s. Marr or Mars) I am having a really hard time finding any records, what- so- ever for his parents....ever document I've found has a different mother listed.

I can't find a record of a death for a Margaret Currie m.s. Marr or Mars, it doesn't say deceased next to any of the parents....so I can only assume that she was alive to give her maiden surname.

I do know that James's dad was John Currie and was a mason from the Glasgow area...however his mother is just a mystery. I know that I have the right marriage record, I just can't figure out why there is no record of the mother  being named Margaret Marr or Mars.

Any help would be great.... even if it's just a thought. K
