Monica, I am still researching this but back to Angus Paterson going to Canada. On 1881 Scottish Census, I see an Angus born 1873/74 Duthill, Inverness, father William Paterson 46 and mother Jane McDonald 40 and a niece Jessie. On 1901 census Angus is 27 and Jessie 22. On a 1914 ship manifest to Canada with destination Manitoba I find Angus, Jessie and 2 young girls Carrie 11 and Jessie 9 and a Catherine McDonald 60 who states going to married sister in Oaklake Manitoba. Canadian census in 1921 I see Angus and Jessie, Carrie 19 and Jessie 17 and borders Catherine Fracassi and Robert Grant 26.
There does not appear to be a Jane that I can find on the McDonald side
Unfortunately I have no way now of confirming from my cousin who know suffers from dementia whether all the pics in question I received this past summer came from my great grandfather William McKay (his grandfather), or from his mother, William’s daughter. I am stilling following the McDonald side from Inverness marrying into the Paterson side. In the meantime I am trying to get more information on the Overseas Settlement Committee as I was told that when the McKays immigrated to Canada they came with a number of cousins from Scotland. I have confirmed all the McKay side.
