Martha Johnston was born June 28, 1885 in Paisley, Scotland to Thomas Johnston and Jane Cockburn.
Martha had a daughter Leila Margerie Tavendale Aug 4, 1926 in Penticton BC, Canada
I cannot find a marriage between Martha Johnston and Alexander Edwards Tavendale but Alexander was single on the 1921 Penticton census.
I have found this entry for 1924 but don't know if it is the correct Martha, although thinking not.

Martha's mother was Jane Johnston nee Cockburn who was living in New York 1914-1924, after which she was living with her daughters in Penticton, BC. Jane died at the home of her son-in-law  A.E.Tavendale  May 6, 1934.
I have searched the Royal BC Museum Archives site for a BC marriage between Alexander and Martha. But perhaps it was in New York or in the USA. Also searched familysearch and Ancestry. Was there really a marriage??
Thanks for any help

Elizabeth MacDonald nee Patterson was born abt 1868 in Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa to William Patterson and Annie Crossett. She firstly married Henry William Bailey Apr 1912 (unverified) in England although I think they had many children prior to marriage, possibly starting with Elizabeth Emily Bailey abt 1886. Her husband Henry died Sept 25. 1915 and Elizabeth remarried to John MacDonald Oct 1917. John died 1935, unverified.
Ultimately, I am hoping to find the parents of Elizabeth's mother Annie Crossett, born abt 1843 in Ireland, who married William Patterson Feb 10, 1859 in Magherafelt COI, Ireland and they immediately emigrated to South Africa with son Wesley Wellington Patterson  being born at sea in 1860.  Annie died Aug 28,  1882 in Cape Town as per the Cape Times Newspaper of Aug 29, but I don't have Annie's death certificate. I know her father was John (deceased) as per Annie's marriage record in 1859 but I don't have her mother's name.
Thanks for any help.

Robert Irvine died July 30, 1875 in the town of Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY. Is there a death certificate naming parents, an obituary, or a community history book which gives more information about Robert? Looking for surviving siblings, in particular a married sister Eliza Johnston in Kinloss, Ontario. He was born in Co. Fermanagh, Ireland about 1821-1826. Wife was Annie nee McGregor who is on the 1880 census in Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY. Robert’s parents should be James Irvine and Elizabeth Hunter.
Thank you

As per George's death certificate,he was born 1811 in Ireland and died Nov 6,1911 in Kinloss, Bruce Co., Ontario, Canada. His father was George but I would like to know his mother's name and where George was born exactly. Since he was  100 years of age, I thought perhaps there might be an obituary or a big party on his birthday.
George had married Eliza Irvine Mar 15, 1849 at the Registrar's Office in the Town of Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh but George's residence at the time  was the Town of Lisnarrick, Civil Parish of Derryvollen. Looks like Eliza's residence was Tullycreevey,Civil  Parish of Deveney.

They must have emigrated abt 1856 since their first child born in Canada was George Phibbs Johnston June 28,1857.
I don't find his death on findagrave but I did find this on familysearch.
