Maggie Cameron - Noble - Smith (Toronto and area)

[Rosinish]

At least you know the ones in the cemetery will still be there when you go back.

How far back have you got with Alexander Cameron?

People moved around back in the day for different reasons & Alexander's father was born Inverness-shire which is probably around half way between Nairn & Fodderty.

Not very far on Alexander Cameron.  I have that his father is Hugh, born 1835 Inverness, and his father is Alexander born 1799 Kiltarlity.

I'm only on my second Cameron relation, the first one was not close, but this one in Fodderty is not too far - but no matches to the tree I want yet and they go from 1806 - 1947

Could this be Maggie in Toronto, 1911?

I looked at that census but the writing is too small for me to read what the columns say.

Can you identify with the area where the census was taken i.e. the address & is it near where she gave birth, married or settled?

That's the only thing I can think of for the possibility.

I had a list typed up with her age given on all the docs but I think I deleted it.

From memory I think her age was quite consistent but the chances are someone else gave details for the census?

The more info. on trees online from paper trails the more likely a match as people identify with it better & sometimes people don't have siblings or know about them until they come across potentials so it's worth putting your paper trail details out there.

I was helping someone online not too long ago (probably less than a year) & someone else identified with info. I'd given about my relative.
That person didn't know there were any siblings of the person they identified with until I gave them the info.
I then discovered that person had info. on a sibling of my 3 x g g/father.
The person was working away from home & was going to get in touch when he arrived back but I haven't heard from him & now I can't find the post to get in touch with him.
I don't know whether the sibling was male or female either...nothing 
I don't know whether that sibling married in Scotland, died here or immigrated....one day I'm sure I will come across the link but frustrating to have a 'carrot' so to speak

Her religion is wrong too. 

I just found that Prospect Cemetery has a find a grave map.....  However you still might need the office to be open to actually find it, they might give you names of surrounding graves so you know when you are close.   Usually there is numbers painted on the walkways or curbs so you know when you are in the right area, so if you want to try going on a Sunday when the office is closed, try this:

Edit: In case she has no headstone, look for her "neighbours" to know if you are in the right spot:
17/3562 William Keats
17/3563 Maggie
17/3564 Raymond Fitzsimmons
17/3565 couldn't find a match
17/3566 David Henderson

Hopefully one or more has a headstone, so you can determine whether Maggie does, or if it's just  patch of grass.

It's a been a fun run!  I'm still poking around the directories, but I think we have turned over every rock thus far.  Let us know how the cemetery goes, and when I run dry, I'll pm you for your email so I can send all the documents I've collected.

Sarah, I have been very surprised to learn that my great grandmother may have "left" another daughter in Scotland when she came south. I had no idea. If you would like any further details on Margaret Cant b 1866, and her various children do get in touch.
