Canada Lookup Request / McLeod/Urquhart
« on: Monday 20 May 13 05:08 BST (UK)  »
Hi There,
I have in the family line a
John McLeod b. abt 1778 Assynt Sutherland married (presumably)to an
Isabella (Isobel) Urquhart also b. abt 1778 Assynt Sutherland Scotland.   There is a record of a son John McLeod OR Urquhart b. 16 June 1811
- see under posts Scotland Sutherland McLeod/Urquart by houston
This is all the information I have and have had no luck finding more though I did today find a Cemetery notice under  No 15 In memory of Isabella Urquhart widow of John McLeod 15 Mar 1885 aged 63 also two infants
www.Seafoamcemetery. Pictou County Novia Scotia Canada.

I am wondering if this is the same couple having migrated on unknown ship to Canada

Would someone be able to confirm this or not and what happened to Father John and child John born Scotland- if same family.

Many thanks
houston

Hi
If you contact your local familysearch office at your nearest Church of Latter Day Saints chapel they have people there who can do this or show you how to do it.

Please note I have edited Subject names:
Having viewed documents mentioned I find a discrepancy as follows:
Marriage Cert.
Jessie Cummings b 1862 aged 25 Married William McLeod aged 38 Oct 7 1887 Lyttelton New Zealand
She was born Lanarkshire, Scotland
Fathers' name Robert Cummings, Sheep Farmer,
Mother Jessie Cummings
Mothers maiden name: Forrest.

William McLeod's Death Cert;
Records her as 2nd Marriage
Married Lyttelton NZ
To whom he was married:  Jessie PAGE

On the death cert someone has circled Page with a ? alongside and then the written in Cummings
 
I found her baptism:
Name: Jessie Forrest
Birthdate 28 Jan 1862
Place: Central District Glasgow Lanark Scotland

What appears to her mothers marriage to a
Groom: Nicol Page
Bride Jessie Forrest
Marriage date 16 Mar 1866
Place: Milton, Glasgow Lanark, Scotland

so far.
Regards houston

I have a Jessie CUMMINGS b. 1862 Lanarkshire.  d. New Zealand 1944
Parents: Father: Robert Cummings and Mother: Jessie Forest
Came out to New Zealand where the first Jessie Cummings married William McLeod at aged 25 on 7 Oct 1887 Lyttleton New Zealand
These details I viewed on someones copy of marriage.  Have no idea of ship she/they  came to NZ on though have searched
I am wondering if anyone would be able to find some more information on her parents, background etc

Kind regards
