Hi Looking for information on Matthew Findlay born 31 Jul 1880 in Ayrshire Scotland the son of Francis Findlay and Susan Millar, he emigrated to Canada in 1906. On the 1911 Census was lodging with Andrew and Mary Leggate who are also family members. He wrote to his sister Margaret Findlay dated Oct 9 1950 from 719-2nd St. East Calgary, Albert, Canada, to say he had "Just come out of the hospital, but not as bad as last time, had cut a lot of stuff out of my bladder" I was told he had cancer, Would like to know what happened to him.

New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Benjamin Gregg, Waipori, Otago
« on: Monday 13 June 16 08:12 BST (UK) »
Hi Thank for your info- Sorry for the delay in replying but had taken a break from genealogy ---- Quote from MY original message "I have been searching through the old newspaper index and found an arrival Mr and Mrs Gregg, and son and daughter. on the "Gil Blas" from Melbourne on the Sept. 3 1855 which COULD be Benjamin and his wife Mary Pattinson, and children"
It wasn't long after I posted that message that I found they had
Emigration-"1861 Jan B Greigg aged 30 & M Greigg aged 27 arrived in Victoria on the “Marco Polo” in January 1861,Fische 186 page 003" (I have a photo of the Ship]
New Zealand, "Emigration-1863 16 Feb— Age: 34
From Victoria arriving Otago/Port Charles on board “City of Melbourne
Benjn Gregg departed from Victoria on 6th February 1863 arriving at Otago/Port Chambers NZ on 16th on board “City of Melbourne"
Thanks for your info, I would be interested in info you have on John Gregg/Grigg from Windermere in Westmorland, strong possibilities could be a connection

Hi Ann
I think you must be a bit confused, as I don't think I said John's son was my relation, Anyway it doesn't matter as I've found the Will of John son Alexander Barr on the web site of the National Archives London, which I have downloaded. Also a List of beneficiary' relating to the Will of Alexander Barr of Fletching, deposited by a firm of Solicitors

Hi Ann,
Thank you for your reply, I'm sorry my post is a bit confusing, I thought additional information on John Barr's brothers, might help in finding information on John Barr of Glasgow and who worked for James Finlay and Co Glasgow, I didn't want anyone spending time looking for information I had already found, I don't know who his wife was. The information I posted is the only info I have on him. The Will of Alexander of Fletching held by Glasgow University is because John Barr was a brother of Alexander Barr of Fletching and a beneficiary in his will, but it is possible that John had already died and his son Alexander Barr was the beneficiary
I have search the 1841 and 1851 Census for John Barr, but didn't have much hope in finding him, as his brothers Alexander of Fletching died in 1827 and Allan Barr in 1821 at Edinburgh. And I think it most unlikely that John Barr of Glasgow survived until the 1841 Census. His son Alexander Barr who attended Glasgow University from 1832-1836 joined the Royal Navy as an Assistant Surgeon and I have Information on his early career in Royal Navy. so its unlikely he was on any of the Census's
Thank you for your help
