SMITH, Frank Murrison & Catherine Donald - Montreal Region

[Seaton Smithy]

There is a Canadian Passenger List for Frank Murison born 1882 Aberdeen and aged 24 years - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to Halifax Nova Scotia - arriving 12 April 1906 on the Corinthian.
Also a John Murison 23 years on that same ship. Both cattlemen.

I suspect this may be Frank's maternal 1st cousin, John Alexander Murison born in 1883 in Kintore, Aberdeenshire who eventually settled in Ontario.

Yes that is correct. John Murison born 1 st March 1883 Kintore Aberdeen - 92 Gordon Highlanders.
spouse Elizabeth -  56 pages on the digitalised file.

Thank you!

It looks like Bella pre-deceased her parents.

I have found her baptism as Isabella Murison Smith, parents Frank Murison Smith & Catherine Donald, born 11 March 1909 and baptised on 25 August.

The page immediately prior to the one with the baptism for Isabella has the baptism of Lena Murison Smith on the same date, 25 Aug 1909. She was born 31 Dec 1907.

For some reason there was a marriage record between the 2 baptism records. I think it's because baptisms are recorded on the one side and marriages on the facing page.

It wasn't her parents' marriage, either, although that would not have surprised me with my Smith/Murison families.  I didn't expect her full name to be Lena.

Kathleen's birth 27 February 1920 and baptism 14 June.
