Hi,

I think this is Alex Mearns on the 1901 Canadian census in Montreal,
Mearns, Alex age 44, b. 1856, Scotland, head, carpenter
Mearns, Maggie age 46, b. 1854 Scotland, wife
Mearns, Alex age 17, b. 1884 Scotland, son
Mearns, James age 15, b. 1885 Scotland, son
Morton, James age 78, b. 1823 Scotland, widow, gr. father

Find A Grave, same cemetery as Alex and Alice,
Mearns, Margaret d. 16 May 1928

Hi,

From the Montreal Gazette Nov. 27, 1933, page 7.  Ogivly's was/is a "high end" department
store in central Montreal.

Thank you, that all adds to the picture. So Margaret was a Morton before they married.

I’ve found the marriage on Scotland’s People, 1882, registered in Plantation, Lanarkshire.
