Kirkcudbrightshire / Looking for Mary Jane Brown/Auchencairn? B. 1884?
« on: Sunday 02 September 18 17:39 BST (UK) »
Greetings all,
I am very new to this, so please bear with me.
I'm trying to track down my grandmother. I believe her maiden name was Mary Jane Brown, born approximately 1884. Mary Jane Brown immigrated to Canada in 1910. The family story is that she left Scotland to meet up with her fiancé in Canada. He had left before her. Apparently he died in Canada as she crossed the Atlantic. No one in our remaining family knows the entry port or ship she crossed on.
She eventually made her way across Canada, met my grandfather and they began their life in the Saskatchewan/Manitoba area.
I believe she was from near Castle Douglas, perhaps Auchencairn. I visited a sister of hers in Auchencairn when I was a very young boy in 1965. It might be possible that Mary Jane Brown was from Auchencairn.
Can anyone help in finding Mary, where she lived, who her parents were?
Thanks for any assistance.
Shane
