Mary Ann Cameron on the 1891 census with her niece Margaret Cameron born Chapelton Moss.

Thanks for finding it!  Too many posts to wade through! (I'm making excuses for a bad memory)

Speaking of too many posts:
Sara, don't miss Cosmac's post about the step brothers birth certs.  Annie and I got on a roll posting, and you might have missed it.

Added...Hopefully whoever registered the death knew her parents names & mother's m/s as that will be on the DC too if they knew that info.

Automated genealogy is a good site for misspellings of names in the 1911 Canadian census and easy to search.  There was an entry for a Maggie Cameron (not spelt that way) in a Toronto jail.  It might be worth while looking at that site.  There are a number of Maggie/Margarets lodging under Noble and Cameron - the fact that their birth place might be shown as Ontario doesn't necessarily mean they weren't born in another country - mistakes filling out forms took place all the time.

Wow, great catch, Cosmac.  Even with matching their spelling, Anc. doesn't show it.

Note to Sara:  check the newspapers for a crime involving a Maggie Cammeron!

Oh. She put a birthdate of Oct 1888.  Gah!

Edit:  found the image at http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1911/pdf/e002026486.pdf

I think it actually says 1889 for birth year.  And she is Scottish.  Getting closer!

I was in touch with a few people from Ancestry, and simply asked them if they had ancestors coming from Birmingham (to rule them out as Maggie's relatives, as all my grandfathers relatives are from Birmingham), or North-East Scotland.

I've heard back from one person who replied:
My great grandparents came from Scotland. Their names are James and Elisabeth Cant

I've asked her for more details on what she might know about the Cants, as she doesn't have a tree on Ancestry.

Annie - I have my mom and dad's tests, so it separates out maternal and paternal.

I could have Cameron matches. I just haven't found any yet. Cant has come up a few times though.

Sara,

Had to scrub that as I see you have no CAMERON matches 

Mmm...one does wonder for now about that peculiarity.

Does it depend on the type of DNA test you've done as to what connections you get i.e. maternal or paternal or both?
