Hi Bingy,
Guelph is approx 1.5 hours from my home, do you know when Walter came to Canada?
At the moment I have 11 children for Walter and Isabella, could be more, do you have their 1911 Census entry?
Dau, Annie Hamilton Burns born 1882,
Dau, Agnes Crawford Burns born 1883 died 1888,
Son ,William born 1885 died 1887,
Dau, Isabella Hendry Burns born 1887 died infancy,
Son, George Drummond Burns born 1888,died 1891,
Dau, Isabella Hendry Drummond Burns born 1890,married Reginald Hunter 1916,died 1936.
Son, Walter Glendinning Burns born 1893,
Son, John Crawford Burns born 1895 died 1929,
Son Archibald Hamilton Burns born 1898,married Olive Marion Roxburgh,died 1947.
Son Alexander Burns born 1901,
Son Robert Burns born approx 1903
I am not sure which son died WW1, John was a doctor,he died in Aberdeen in Feb 1929,his usual address was in Inverness, the informant was his brother Alexander Burns,
Also in my Hislop tree I have Jessie Hamilton Drummond married to William Hislop of Lilliesleaf, I believe Jessie is a sister of your Isabella, Jessie was a witness at their wedding,
Do you know when the family moved from Denholm Mill?
I have Walter & Isabella's marriage cert if you need it,
yes we are very distant cousins, haven't worked it out yet, there are also Burns descendants in Australia, are you in Scotland?
Amanda.
