Nairn family - Ontario
« on: Tuesday 13 February 24 03:57 GMT (UK) »
A Scottish (Fife) Immigrant was Anne Nairn she married John Cuthbert (m 1860).  Buried in Cartwright Cemetery, Durham County.  One daughter Agnes m. James Gordon a number of children.

Anne's youngest brother David Nairn b.1835, Kettle Fife.  He married Elizabeth Jackson and had a family of about 12.  Son John's headstone in Goldboro, Manitoba gives David and Elizabeth's deaths in 1898 and 1897 - I think in Ontario but haven't found a record.

Anyone know what happened to children Agnes 1865, David 1868, Robert 1870, William 1876, Margaret 1878, Charlotte 1880.  They appear in 1891 Canada Census but not 1901 - perhaps most emmigrated to USA?

Sisters Isabella & Annie and brothers John, Michael James, Albert Walter, Percy Jackson & Orwell Alvan are in 1901 Census, having moved to Manitoba.

Good luck AdmiraltyCat in your search.
Just to clarify a couple of your comments -
children Agnes 1865, David 1868, Robert 1870, William 1876, Margaret 1878, Charlotte 1880.
Children of whom?

They appear in 1891 Canada Census - Where?

Sisters Isabella & Annie and brothers John, Michael James, Albert Walter, Percy Jackson & Orwell Alvan  - I assume Annie and David?
1901 Census, having moved to Manitoba. - 1901 Census in Manitoba or before they moved?

I am researching the Nairn family of Fife. The family unit that i have an interest in has a footprint in the following places - Ardbroath - Angus, Cupar, Abbottshall, Auchtamuchty, Kircaldy, Minimail, Portmoak, Moonzie, Auchtaderran. Some of these places are very near to Kettle [Kingskettle].

Cheers
Jack Gee
