Canada Lookup Request / Re: Jamieson in Toronto

Thanks again  Sandra looks like Annie Jamieson nee Mcdonald married McKinlay while still married to James Jamieson.  Looks like Bigamy.
I wonder if Annie and McKinlay were in a relationship in Lochwinnoch and both decided to leave for Canada. Annie left a husband and 5 children under 15 to go away. Families eh.
Regards Gerry

Hi  Sandra   thanks for all that information.  After spending a while reading it I think that the Hugh Jamieson is my great uncle and John his son. Never thought they both had such a varied life.

Hi Welly 07,  read your posts on family mysteries. Interesting info on Hugh Jamieson and his marriage. I found some old family photos and post cards when my mum died and it might indicate that Hugh had a son called John a possible cousin of Glen's.
No knowledge of Glen's fathers side, but on his mother's he had 4 cousins. 
Anna(Annie) Scott,  Peter Scott and Elizabeth Scott.
Also Martin Benson.  He was an artist and lived in Denmark with his Danish family.
Regards Gerry

Hi Welly07,  I've read your posts under family mystery.  Lots of it appears to be true. Elizabeth Brake nee Jamieson was called Betty. My great aunt. Her mother Annie was the problem. I think she may have married someone called McKinley in Canada while still married to her husband James Jamieson. He died in Kilbirnie in 1947. She would want to keep quiet about her Scottish marriage. I will re read your family mystery post again. Lots of information I don't have especially re Hugh Jamieson.
Regards Gerry

Thanks PB   Ann or Annie Mcdonald married name Jamieson is a mystery not much known of her after she went to Canada and left family in Scotland.  She did meet or stay with her daughter Elizabeth Brake in Toronto some time before she died.  On Elizabeth s grave plot in Toronto there is a small stone with the name Ann McKinley. Died 1966. I wonder if she us Ann Mcdonald.  Maybe remarried. ?

Nearly right. Glen was always thought to be my mother's brother, therefore my uncle. But  found out later in life he was my mother's cousin.  His mother, my Grans sister, died giving birth to Glen  so he was brought up by my Gran and Grandpa, my mother's parents. We were in fact 1st cousins once removed.
You are from South Wales. I was in contact with someone from your family a few years ago.

Hi That's interesting. . She was my g grandmother.  What branch of the family are you from. Did you know much of her life in Canada. ?
I knew nothing about her life. Never spoken about in my family. I discovered her while researching my family tree around 15 to 20 years ago. But, haven't found out much about when she left her family to go to North America or what she did there.
