This is interesting...Do you know what his birthdate was?  I wonder if it was the same Henry Pilkington that cam from Scotland.  If so, I wonder why he came to Canada???

Thanks for the tip, but he was here and married in 1780, so unlikely.

Scotland / Re: Robert Baxter Scotland to Nova Scotia

I have been to their site and to the actual society, but found nothing more than what I have.  It seems that my Robert Baxter was "The progenitor of the Hants County Baxter family appears to be Robert Baxter....The Windsor records included in St. Paul's (Windsor, NS) list the marriage 1 Aug 1780 of Robert Baxter and Anne Frizzel."  Also "the Surname Baxter is not in the index of the surviving census records for the 1770's for NS."  Both of these quotes were taken from "Notes on the Baxter Family of Hants County, NS" compiled by L. S. Loomer.

I do so want to find out where Robert came from to see how far back I can go and why Robert decided to come to Canada....

Thank you for your tip though...any help is so greatly appreciated!!!

Scotland / Robert Baxter Scotland to Nova Scotia
« on: Thursday 18 August 11 04:06 BST (UK)  »
Hello.  Looking for any help on my Baxter family. 

Robert Baxter born 1752 in Scotland, died in 1814 in Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada and  married Ann Frizzell on 1 Aug 1780 in Windsor Nova Scotia, Canada.  He had many children listed as Margaret, John, Hugh Oliver, Hannah Moore, Daniel, Oliver, Sarah, Thomas, Robert, Ann.  All born in Nova Scotia, Canada.  Family history is that Robert was born in Scotland and maybe in the area of Kintyre Peninsula, but have not found anything to suggest that this is true.  Also don't know of any siblings to Robert.

Doing many searches (and of course Robert is such a common name) I have come across a Robert Baxter born in Markinch, Fife, Scotland on 30 Sep 1752 to Robert Baxter and Margaret Small (they were married on 15 Dec 1749 in Markinch, Fife, Scotland.  They are listed in the IGI site with and indexing number of C11447-4.  Does anyone have any info on this Robert Baxter to suggest that he may have come to Nova Scotia before 1780? 

I understand it isn't much to go on, but any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Ireland / ROGERS,
« on: Monday 15 November 10 18:10 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for any information on James Rogers who married a Nancy Unknown.  They had at least one child, James Rogers, who was supposed to have been born or lived in Donegal Ireland.  The child James was born in 1796 and moved to England and was a weaver and then moved to Nova Scotia, Canada where he married Sarah Miller.  I am assuming that the original James and Nancy would be from the Donegal region/area as well, but this is heresay.  Any help would be so much appreciated as I don't know how to get Irish census or anything else for that matter.  I know it isn't much to go on.  Looking forward to hearing from anyone.

Donegal / ROGERS from Donegal, Ireland
« on: Monday 25 October 10 20:35 BST (UK)  »
Looking for a James Rogers born abet 1796 presumably in Donegal Ireland.  He moved to England (not sure of place) and worked as a weaver.  He then moved to Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada and married a Sarah Miller.  He died in Nova Scotia in 1868.  I have no other information on his parents or siblings and would love to know more about this ancestor.  He would be my Gr. Gr. Great Grandfather.  Does anyone have any information on any Rogers in the area???  Thanks.

Dumfriesshire / Re: james Currie and Elizabeth Kirkpatrick
« on: Tuesday 27 July 10 03:34 BST (UK)  »
I believe that James Currie's father was Cpl. William Currie born in Dumfries, Scotland and his Mother was unknown Murphy.  William moved to Prince Edward Island sometime after 1816.  His other children besides James could possibly be:  John Currie Sr. (b Gretna Green, Scotland), Elizabeth Currie, Joe (maybe Joseph) Currie, William Jr. Currie, and Jesse Jane Currie (b 1816 in Scotland).  Any info on any of these people is greatly appreciated as I am still trying very hard to make the definite conclusion that James is William's son.  Also very interested in any records of the William and unknown Murphy Wife...

Thanks
