Canada Lookup Request / Walter Campbell/Marion Manson and family
« on: Thursday 20 March 08 09:46 GMT (UK)  »
I am interested finding out more about this family:

Walter Campbell, son of William Campbell and Isabella Mackay was born c1821. He married Marion Manson daughter of Angus Manson and Ketty Mackay. Walter and Marion married in 1844.
 
They are in Tongue Sutherland until sometime between 1871 census and 1880 when they are listed in census at Hullet, Huron Centre,Ontario.
 
I have 8 children listed for them all born in Tongue and all listed in 1880 census in Canada.
 
According to Ancestry index there is a Walter Campbell who died in 1881 in Huron but I don't have access to find out any more info.
 
I have more info on some of the children and their families

I wish I had a photo of my Great Uncle James. He died in Australia in 1925. I managed to find his grave, where he lived etc but no photos.

Orkney / Re: Linklater / Taylor / Harvey

Hi Anne
I have all three of these names in my tree.
My 4x great grandmother was Agnes Taylor, born 1749 in Birsay, daughter of James Taylor. Agnes married William Whitelaw in 1780.
My 3x great grandmother was Elizabeth(Betsy)Linklater. Her father was Cesar Linklater, originally from Harray but settled in Birsay. One of Betsy' sisters married a Harvey .
There are a few other connections aswell!!

I can't see a connection as yet with your names but will check my info.

The Lighter Side / Re: GR - it gets worse
« on: Thursday 17 January 08 22:43 GMT (UK)  »
After a couple of unpleasant experiences I removed my tree completely from the site.
When I first started I made quite a few good contacts, one in particular was a first cousin of my late mother so I was delighted. We are now in touch with each other on a regular basis  so for that I'm grateful to the GR site.
I still have about 6 months to run on my subscription but I doubt I will renew it again.

found his second marriage - in Glasgow.
Married on 21/12/1894 to Mary Mackay, daughter of Hugh Mackay and Barbara Mackay. His address at time of marriage is given as Station Hotel Wick and his occupation looks like Hotel Boots!
Getting somewhere now!!

Iaccessed that death but it wasn't him.
Wonder where he's gone - emigrated or closer to home perhaps?
