Thank you for that Bally...
I think I need more information about other members of her family before starting to search through all of the Morgans in Ireland.  If I find them I'll certainly turn to your post to begin my search.  Thanks.

Hello
James Stafford and Susannah Morgan were married by by Rev. James Harris in Toronto on 1 Dec 1837.  You probably already have found this but I wonder if you have learned anything more about Susannah Morgan.  Thanks.

Hello Mike
You are right, we are not on topic.  Before we go I should add to a statement that you and I have both made and that may be incorrect  The Ontario vital record of Margaret Lockie's death lists her place of birth as Kelso, Roxburghshire.  The informant is listed as John Hobson and we know him to be a reputable and meticulous person.  So I suspect that she was born in Kelso which eliminates Margaret Pittilla as her mother.  But you never know . . .
I would like to carry on this conversation in another folder within RootsChat.  Perhaps you or I could start a new one within the Roxburghshire forum with a title that encompasses all of these families: Irvine,Laidlaw, Inglis, Lockie, Boyd.  What do you think?

Hello Mike
We seem to have the same Margaret Lockie but with a minor discrepancy.  The inscription on her gravestone and the Ontario vital records both list her date of death as 11 June 1878.
I also have unconfirmed notes that her parents were John Lockie and Margaret Pittillo.
The Inglis, Hobson and Laidlaw families were all wealthy and successful farmers in the Paisley Block near Guelph.  I searched for the Irvine name among their neighbours but found none.
Nor can I help you with the Jane Patterson-John Archibald Irvine connection but the forenames gave me pause.  Jane Inglis, daughter of John Inglis/Margaret Lockie, married Archibald Patterson and their son, William, was the automobile manufacturer in Flint MI.
Cheers
Jim

Hello Irvinemg
I have some information on the Inglis family that you mention in post #34.  Margaret Inglis, wife of Joseph Hobson sr,, is the daughter of John Inglis and Margaret Lockie.  John was born in 1786 in Roxburghshire.  Margaret was born in Kelso in 1789.  They lived in Bowden where several children were born.  The family emigrated to the Guelph area of Upper Canada in 1827.  They were neighbours of the Laidlaws and Hobsons in Paisley Block near Guelph.
You mention several successful descendants of these families.  William A. Paterson was a grandson of John Inglis.  William was a successful manufacturer of carriages in Flint Michigan.  He switched to automobiles and eventually sold out to Buick in 1923.  He was the mayor of Flint for a while.
I have no information about the connection of the Inglis family with the Irvine family, but perhaps these dates and places will help.

Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Re: Elsie Pirrie/Perrie/Pirie 1852
« on: Sunday 01 February 09 18:59 GMT (UK)  »
I have Elsie Perrie's marriage certificate before me.  She married Obediah Stafford on July 18, 1883.  The location is a farm in North Norfolk, Manitoba: Section 1, township 8, Range 10 but the meridian is not specified.  It may be meridian 1.  This is also her place of residence although the name Wakefield is included.  This may be the name of the farm owner or that of a nearby post office. 
She was born in Aberdeen, Scotland.  The names of her parents are John Perrie and Margaret Anderson.  She is Presbyterian.  The groom is Episcopalian and the minister is Methodist.  The witnesses are John Walker of Gladstone and Eliza Towns of Treherne.
The groom is 41 years of age, living in Gladstone.  His occupation is farmer.  His parents are James Stafford and Susan Morgan.  He is listed as a bachelor, not a widower.  I have done some research on this line and I know that he married Elizabeth Booth in 1862 so he is either married or a widower.
