Title: Crichton: Lookup Request in WHYTE, DONALD. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants
Post by: tmunger on Thursday 10 May 18 17:23 BST (UK)

Hello,
This is my first post in RootsChat so I hope I do it right!
I'm looking for information on Ann Crichton, who I believe was married to William Christilaw.  I'm hoping someone would be able to look up the following information for me.

Name:   Ann Crichton
Arrival Year:   1817
Arrival Place:   Canada
Source Publication Code:   9758
Primary Immigrant:   Crichton, Ann
Annotation:   Date and port of arrival. Name of ship, place of origin, place of destination, date of birth and death, parentage, occupation, and other historical and family data may also be provided.
Source Bibliography:   WHYTE, DONALD. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation. Toronto: Ontario Genealogical Society. Volume 1, 1986. 443p.
Page: 67

Thanks so much,
Tamara

The entry in the book indicates this Ann Crichton was the wife of Thomas McKay. She traveled from Perth to Canada in 1817 and settled in Ottawa in 1826.

New member and 1st post for me on here. Didn't see how to post a new topic so here goes... Looking for James Tweedie arriving with his son Thomas Tweedie in 1821. It should be from ...

WHYTE, DONALD. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation. Toronto: Ontario Genealogical Society. Volume 2, 1995. 435p.

I was able to find an online copy of volume 3, but not volume 2. I need any lead I can find from it. Ship name and date in 1821, or the names of James's parents.

Sorry but the entries for James and his wife don't appear to add anything new from what you already know:

10798 TWEEDIE, James, ca 1797-14 Mar 1860. From Torthorwald, DFS. To Fredericton, NB, 1821; stld Caverhill, York Co. Shoemaker and farmer. Wife Margaret Byers, qv, with him and son. SG xxxii/2, 64.

891 BYERS, Margaret. From DFS. To York Co, NB, 1821. m 22 Nov 1819, James Tweedie, qv. SG xxxii/2, 64.

Thank you for checking! I guess I'll need to look elsewhere in Scotland records.
