Canada / Winnipeg Death-Georgina McGill Lessard
« on: Sunday 10 May 09 16:18 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know where I could find an Obituary Notice for Georgina McGill Lessard from the Winnipeg area. She would have died between 1953 and 1985.
GEORGINA MCGILL was born July 28, 1898 in Carleton Place,Ontario, daughter of WILLIAM MCGILL and MARY WEIR. She moved to Perth and married NORMAN LESSARD . In 1953 they both appear in Winnipeg visited by a Mr. & Mrs. George Moore of Perth. I am trying to locate their whereabouts after 1953 , where they might have died, did they have any children and where they were buried.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dumfriesshire / PROUDFOOT / BELL / COLVIN
« on: Wednesday 19 July 06 19:05 BST (UK)  »
Looking for parents  of both  William Proudfoot   b. 1808, Johnstone, d. 1895 Johnstone,  m.  1832-3, and  Jean Bell  b.1812, Maxwelltown/Troqueer, Kirkcudbright  d. 1887 Johnstone. They had 8 children. Their son James b.1836 d. 1899 was my greatgrandfather.
They had a daughter, Ann Colvin Proudfoot b. Dec. 15, 1846 d. date unknown.
James and his wife Janet Marchbank also had a daughter Ann Colvin Proudfoot b. Apr.29, 1871 d. Dec. 23, 1895.
I'm curious as to where the Colvin middle name came from in both cases.

Can anyone answer these questions ?

Thanks,

Banffshire / GEDDES family of Banffshire

My Great grandfather JOHN GEDDES b. 1844-46 Buckie  d. May 1, 1938, buried at Hillhead cemetery,  m.  Jan.14, 1871  to  HELEN SPALDING b.1849-52 Tannadice, Forfar, had 11 children: Helen, Anne, Isabella, John, James, Elizabeth Jane, John, George, Mary, Alexander and Jesse. They were born in Boyndie and Fordyce.  Jesse was my grandmother.
This is as far back as I have info.
I am trying to find John's parents or any of his brothers and sisters. 
     Hoping someone recognizes some of these names.

Tipperary / WILLIAM MCGILL BORN TIPPERARY
« on: Wednesday 05 July 06 20:01 BST (UK)  »
My great grandfather William McGill was apparently born in 1848 in Tipperary as shown on the 1851 Greenock census. He shows up on the 1851 scotland census as a 2 year old with his parents William born Greenock circa 1820 and Ann and a 10 day old baby male ( not named) in Greenock, Renfrewshire.  I would like to verify this if at all possible.
I think William and Ann were married in the late 1840's in Ireland where William Jr. was born and then moved to Greenock Scotland between 1848 and 1851.

Also, Ann (last name unknown) was listed as being from Galloway Ireland. I've checked atlases but can't find Galloway anywhere in Ireland. Does this place exist ?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
James
