Hello Sarra ..
It would be great to hear of your research and learn more about Janet's ancestors.
partial Letter from my Mother, Jean Helen Craig, dated 1991 .. she died Jan 18, 1997
. . . . . . . .
Now I’ll tell you about my mother’s family. Janet Leitch was born in Paisley, Scotland. She and John McFarlane lived in the same apartment building in Glasgow for two years before they met. She was a gentle, caring person, he was a little man with a short temper. They married and had a daughter, Agnes, in Scotland. Then they came to Canada and settled in Martintown, in the house where Johnny McPhadden’s grandfather lived when you were there. At that time it was a long house with one end facing the road (it was renovated when I was growing up).
With them came Janet’s brother, and the Leitch’s settled in Maxville. (I spent whole weeks at a time there when I was little, they had at least 2 daughters and a son Henry who came home from the first World War and when he visited at our house he gave me a brass button from his tunic). The two families were close though it meant horse-and-buggy. I was taken to see my grand-uncle (maybe John too) on his deathbed
