I am searching for surname of Baxter on Kintyre Peninsula or Isle of Kintyre.  I don't know of a town name as of yet, but stories in the family suggest that my Baxter family came from the Isle of Kintyre.  My oldest record is a Robert Baxter b-1752 place unknown.  He married a Anne Frizzell on 1 Aug 1780 in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada.  He died 1814 in Windsor, Nova Scotia.  There aren't any Baxter's in the index of the surviving census records for the 1770's for Nova Scotia, Canada.  I am thinking that the Baxter's came to NS from Scotland.  I don't know of his parents, but am hoping that someone might have information on Robert and family.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi Sharon...I did private message you, and I hope that you received the message.  I am new to this site, so I am hoping that I did it right...

I would love a copy of the page with John Cameron and Jean Paxton's Banns of Marriage.  Let me know if you need any further information (email) and I will it along...

Thank you

Thank you Ruskie.  I didn't have the 1871 census.  I do have the 1841/51/61 census'.  These are definitely my family members and I would love to know more about them.  Anything else is greatly appreciated.  Thanks for the 1871 census!

I am still looking for more information on the Cameron's, Paxton's and now Pilkington's of Chirnside and abroad.  I know that John Cameron married Janet Paxton and they had:  Alexander (moved to NS, Canada), John, Margaret, Whilelmina, Anne (Married a Henry Augustus Cunningham Pilkington and had Emily and possibly a John Trotter Pilkington.  John and his son were killed in England on 24 Dec 1874/5 in a train wreck.), Jane and a Thomas.  I can't seem to find much information on any expect Alexander, who I descend from, and Whilelmina, who I have letters from her to Alexander.  I am interested in marriages, children anything really.  Please send along any information...Thank you.
