New angle on this old brick wall that I'm still trying to break through: I found a local newspaper source for the death of James Steele in Ontario that indicates he was from Berwick-on-Tweed in Northumberland. I recognize that this is one of those borderlands that can account for confused place-of-origin in various records.

Going to post over on the Northumberland section - if anyone can make further progress based on this new info, please reply there or here.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

If you post the same query in more than one place, may I please suggest that you decide which is going to be your 'master' thread, and after putting in links to that thread you lock all the others so that all replies go to the same place? Much easier to keep track of, and avoids helpful people wasting their time looking up information that you already know.
