Found the headstones photos for James and Catherine. Names spelt Aitchison. Both buried in Merrickville Union. Unfortunately nothing for  Alexander or Deborah.

Hi,

You might also want to try the Merrickville library.  They have a genealogy collection - including information on some pioneer families.

I live in a Merrickville house that was owned by Alexander’s parents from 1872 to 1912.  The father James was a Millwright in Merrickville.  He immigrated to Canada from Scotland.

The house was willed to Cecilia Bissett, (Alexander’s sister).  In the 1921 Cecilia was listed as a widow. I would like to know what happened to her.  Can anybody share the information in her obituary?  I have been unable to find the obituary.

I also have information on Lily, Alexander’s other sister. Happy to share if there is interest.
