Jjen, Shellyesq and Sandra
Thanks ever so much for all the info, really gratefull for it, and Sandra
i'm sorry i did not realize that you had answered some of my questions
in my previous post and having to make you work twice as hard.
Putting everything together, i think i am just a phone call away from finding
my Withers in Canada.
Also trying to find one of my g g mother's sisters, Mary wither, not knowing
that Carrick's full name was Carrick George Campbell Wither, i did a search for a Marriage for Mary
and found that Mary had married Carrick George Campbell so that was a no brainer for me.
Many thanks again

Wither family have taken up farming in 1921. They are living on what is described by the western Canadian system of land surveys as Section 36 Township 26 Range 6 W1. The exact location of this farm can be found by entering these numbers on a website with free trials which I will give in a following post. The enumerator had trouble with the name Euphemia, lots of them in my family.

Oops gave you 1916 again. The following lengthy URL should be the correct one. If you Google "legal land description converter" you will find the site which will show the location of the farm.

Hello! A bit late with my post.
My great grandfather James Andrew, son of William Andrew (of Monkton, Ayrshire) and Jane Malcolm (of West Kilbride) was elder brother to Euphemia Andrew, mother of Carrick George Campbell Withers.
James Andrew lived in Monkton Ayrshire and married Elizabeth McMillan. His youngest son George Arthur Andrew, born in Monkton was my grandfather.
My eldest son is called Campbell, I had no idea the name had already been used in the family.
If you require any more information on Euphemia's family, the Andrews, please do get in touch.
