I'm looking for the decendants of  Horatio William NELSON, b.1846 in Montreal, (son of Horatio A. NELSON & Maria DAVISON) and his wife Isabella Patterson CHRISTIE, b.1852 in Toronto  (daughter of Alexander Ritchie CHRISTIE and Margaret KILGOUR).

Horatio W. NELSON and Isabella CHRISTIE were married in Toronto in 1873 where they are also buried . Horatio's siblings appear to have remained in Montreal as did many of  Isabella's CHRISTIE cousins. 

I'm hoping that a Montreal CHRISTIE  or NELSON decendant will know what happened to the decendants of  Horatio & Isabella. One of their daughters, Helen NELSON, married Donald McGILLIVRAY and both are buried in the NELSON plot in Toronto. 

I believe my mother was born in Montreal, Canada on November 17, 1914 to Samuel Rennie NEWELL and Mary CANT Newell.  Her name was Maryann or Mary Ann NEWELL. 

She had three brothers: 
* Lionel NEWELL
* Lloyd NEWELL
* Thomas NEWELL
and one sister :
* Jeanette or Jeanetta (not sure of the spelling) NEWELL. Jeanette died in childhood.

Mary Cant NEWELL also passed away as a young women and Sam remarried.
The best information that I have is that when Sam remarried, it was in the U.S. and he sent for his children who were living in an orphanage somewhere up in Canada.  I think my mother entered the orphanage at around the age of 2 and was there until she was 10 or 11.  I think they were raised Episcoplian. Any information would be appreciated.

Looking for the descendants of Archibald NICOLL (b. England) and his wife Elizabeth GREEN (b. Canada  m. May 15, 1858 in St. Andrews Church, Quebec)

According to the bios on James Wallace NICOLL, he was educated at Montreal High Schools so they must have moved from Quebec City to Montreal sometime between the late 1870s and early 1890s. In the 1895 Montreal City directory, his father Archibald NICOLL is listed as an insurance broker and living at 103 Stanley street and his brother Thomas NICOLL as an insurance clerk living at 98 Durocher.

William PATERSON, a mariner born somewhere in Scotland about 1843, married Helen HAMILTON, in 1871 in Liverpool. She was a widow born in 1841 in Glasgow, daughter of  James McARTHUR and Helen ALEXANDER. (see McArthur query)

In 1874, the family emigrated to the US and three more boys, William Alexander PATERSON, David McArthur PATERSON, and James Bryce PATERSON were born to them in 1877, 1879 and 1881 respectfully. I have not yet determined where in the US they were, but in 1884 they turned up in Montreal. Helen died here in 1886 and William followed in 1892, leaving four minor aged sons behind.

Their children:
* Betha POOLE

Alexander was baptized Methodist in Newfoundland but he is listed on the 1901 census as RC, so I would guess he converted after marriage.

My gg-grandfather Matthew POUNDEN was born in Camolin, Wexford, Ireland around 1838.  He married Jane PLUMMER, probably of the same place. 
They had at least 2 sons: 

* William POUNDEN, born April 30, 1856 (my g-grandfather) 
* Richard Mathew POUNDEN, born June 22, 1865. 

William POUNDEN came to Montreal and married Amelia Allan GOODFELLOW in 1893. Amelia came to Montreal around 1881 to live with her uncle Thomas TENNANT and his wife Jeannie CAMERON? Amelia was born Feb. 16, 1866 in Glasgow, daughter of James GOODFELLOW and Catherine (Kate) TENNANT. She had 3 siblings, Christinn GOODFELLOW, Thomas GOODFELLOW & William GOODFELLOW.

William & Amelia had 11 children, 1 being my grandmother Christina Stoddart POUNDEN. 

My research has led me to believe that Catherine TENNANT's parents were James TENNANT and Christian (Christina) STODDART of Barony, Lanark, Scotland.  I am trying to trace the correct line of TENNANT and GOODFELLOW, as there seem to be a few of those family lines in Lanark, Scotland.

Would like to correspond and share info with anyone else in these family lines.

Also looking for Townland &/or Parish birth place of Gr-G'father John QUINN in County Westmeath and  Twn'lnd. &/or Parish birth places & B./M./D. dates of John's parents, Patrick QUINN & Mary BOLAND 'presumably' of same Twn'lnd. &/or Parish. 

I have B./M./D./ data on a lot of the above people, but I can't locate some of the non-Quinn descendents to continue. So, c'mon you guys; I know you Quinn-related families are out there somewhere!

Note:- I am particularly anxious to hear from Morgan W. QUINN, Shaun E. QUINN, Timothy F. QUINN & Huntley R. QUINN, along with their sister Bridget QUINN (MacDONALD). 

I am seeking descendants of  John RALSTON, Parish of Montreal, and Jane ATCHESON his wife.  Their son John was born on the 21 Feb 1831 and baptized 14 Aug 1831 at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Montreal, by Alex Matheson, Minister.  Subsequently the family re-located to Ormstown, Quebec, to Ogdensburg, New York, and to Ontario.

I'm trying to trace all descendants of the Missionary and Emancipationist William KNIBB. 
Winifred ''Freddie'' RAMSEY (nee FRAY) was his great granddaughter and she died in Montreal on 20 December 1968.  The surname might have been a RAMSAY not RAMSEY.  Her husband was a Doctor and she trained as a nurse, serving overseas in WWI.  She was awarded the R.R.C. by King George apparently. 

She had a son and daughter who survived her.  I have the names Blake RAMSEY and Betsy RAMSEY but am not sure if those are them. 

During WWII Blake was in some famous military outfit - (would assume from Canada) I can see a picture my grandmother had of him in kilts. Something GUARD, something WATCH or just plain something. Like some of the family things, I have not seen that picture either in years. Jogging the old braincells is driving me nuts. I also recall something swirling about Blake's head so don't recall if his service was outstanding or not. 

In the 1948 Montreal City directory there are 2 possible listings:
RAMSEY, G. Stuart, M.D.oculist, 1496 Mountain
RAMSAY, Mrs. Winifred, widow of Robert, 217 Percival Ave., Montreal West

Does anyone have knowledge of this family?

My maternal Great Grandparents, John R.H. REDBURN born January 13, 1858 in Darlaston, Staffordhsire England, (died date unknown) and Edith Ida LINDSAY (apparently from Quebec - birth and death date unknown) married (date unknown) in Quebec, and settled in Montreal, more specifically in Lachine.  They lived out their lives there and raised a family, my grandfather Charles Henry REDBURN included. 

Charles Henry REDBURN, married Lillian Rose RUTHLEDGE while in England during WW1, and they returned to Lachine, living out their lives there and raising a family, my mother Ina Rose REDBURN  included.

I am looking for siblings of Charles Henry REDBURN, beleived to be: 
* Cecille REDBURN
* Genevieve REDBURN
* Laura REDBURN
* George REDBURN
* Mary Ida REDBURN
* James Duncan REDBURN

Alfred Irwin RIDDINGTON (b 1876 in Toronto), son of Frederick RIDDINGTON & Eliza Susannah IRWIN, originally of Durham Co, England, was a stenographer according to the 1901 census for St Lambert.  In 1901, he married Ann Mabel CARSON, only daughter of Joseph Hugh CARSON & Isabella GILLESPIE.

My mother can remember as a young child relatives of the ROSS and ALLAN families (See ALLAN query) coming to Vermont from Montreal to visit her grandmother, Annie (ROSS) PEARL, who was the daughter of William ROSS & Ann ALLAN. She doesn't remember their names, only that they were refered to as cousins or aunts. It would be nice to reconnect the US & Canadian branches of the family.

* William Norris RUMSEY, born July 19, 1894. 

I have a lot of information on the SADLERs of the Châteauguay valley and the Upper Ottawa valley, many branches of which lived in Montreal from time to time after their first arrival in 1818. More recently, I have lost track of these Montreal cousins:

Forrest Edward SADLER (1880-1947) m. Ethel 'Olga' MEYERS
.......their son Edward 'Douglas' Meyers SADLER (1904-1970) m. Doris 'Elizabeth' HANNAN
..............their daughter Marilyn Arden SADLER m. Barry John KIRMAN

I believe it was a William SADLER who founded Sadler Conveyor, of Montreal (who recently changed their name to something else.) Anything on this family would be of interest. Also looking for more information on George W. Sadler of Montreal who operated Robin & Sadler from 1876 and then S & Haworth in the early part of the 20th century. 

For a more detailed genealogy of my SADLERs see Pioneer families of the Châteauguay

John SANGSTER (1793 - 1867) m. Betty MATHER April 18, 1820 in St. Gabriel's Presbyterian Church, Montreal. I have many descendant lines and Betty's ancestry, but I have been unable to resolve "Which John?" among the many possible in Scotland. I'm also looking for descendants, of course.

Seeking descendants of  Richard SAUNDERS, born 1851 at Cupids, Newfoundland, died at Montreal 12 April 1912.   His second wife was Catherine ROWE, born 1853 in Newfoundland, died at Montreal  8 July 1926.  He married Catherine ROWE, also known as Catherine BUTLER, 2 June 1889 at Cupids.

They had three children born at Cupids:
* Susie and Harry SAUNDERS (twins) born 18 July 1890 at Cupids
* William SAUNDERS (1894-1895). 
The family was Methodist.

Richard's first wife was Priscilla (maiden name unknown) who died 27 September 1882 at Cupids. 
The only known child of Richard and Priscilla Saunders was 
* Edward SAUNDERS (1879-1942).

The family of Richard and Catherine SAUNDERS moved to Montreal around 1905. Richard's brother, William Henry SAUNDERS (1863-1945), left Cupids in 1898 and moved to Vancouver. In 1912, when Richard SAUNDERS died, William brought his family to Montreal for the funeral.  They were close brothers.  William said that his brother taught him the construction trade which became his occupation.

Edward SAUNDERS was born 3 October 1879 at Cupids.  He married Emily WEBSTER 1918 at Montreal.  Edward died 28 June 1942 at Montreal. 

We don't know if  Edward & Emily had any children, or when Emily Saunders died.  We are looking for their descendnts or other SAUNDERS relatives from this Montreal side of our family.

I am seeking information on a Mark SCANLON and Catherine BARRON (or BOWEN) who were married in St-Gabriel Presbyterian Church on 6/6/1820.  This Mark Scanlon is apparently at the origin of several SCANTLAND families to which my wife belongs.

Mark and Catherine had at least two children:
* Sophie SCANLON married Michel TAILLIEUR
*Mark. SCANLON married Emilie MARTIN  (They had at least 10 children, 8 of them boys)
Both were married in St-Martin de'Ile-Jesus in 1836 (August 2) and 1839 (June 9) respectively. 

Mark SCANLON, the father, was then reported (in 1839) as staying in Ste-Genevieve de Pierrefond. 

There is a Francis SCANLON, listed in the 1858 Montreal directory as a 'clerk' at 98 Colborne who may have been a brother or cousin of Mark? 

I'm looking to find the parents of Mark SCANLON and Catherine BARRON / BOWEN (see BARRON query)as well as their country of origin if they were not born in the Province of Québec. 

Andrew SIMPSON was born c1809 in Caithness, Scotland and immigrated to Montreal in the early 1830s where he met and married Eleanor (Helen) O'ROURKE, widow of Francis GRAHAM who had died a few years earlier, probably in the cholera epidemic.

Andrew and Eleanor had at least 4 children:
* Ann SIMPSON (b.1835)
* Helen / Eleanor (Ellen) SIMPSON (1836-1893) who married George NIGHTINGALE
* James Manson SIMPSON (b.1836)
* Andrew Manson SIMPSON (b.1841)

Ellen SIMPSON and her husband George NIGHTINGALE (see NIGHTINGALE query) remained in Montreal, but Ann, James and Andrew SIMPSON seem to have disappeared. 

I'm trying to find a missing branch to my family tree:

Florence VALLIE Born: 1898 in  Hinchinbrooke Twp, Quebec. Died:  Montreal  (Date unknown)
Married: Ernest SIMPSON

I believe that they moved to Montreal immediately after their marriage as the rest of the family lost touch with them.  I also believe that they raised a family there as Florence is supposed to have died there.

I'm looking for any tie-ins with their descendant's or relatives in the area. If you recognize this couple in your family, please contact me.

Francis Charles SMILEY (1872-1914) was born in Rawdon, PQ.  About 1902, he married Lillian May CARSON, daughter of John Lovell CARSON (deceased) & Eliza Catherine MILLER (see Carson query).  According to Lovell's 1910 Montreal directory, Francis Charles SMILEY was a school teacher.

I know of two children: 
* John Carson SMILEY (1903-1988) married Dorothy BLACHFORD (1903-1983)
* Edwin Francis SMILEY (1905-1934)  

Most of this information comes from the Carson/Smiley tombstone at Mount Royal cemetery. Any additional information about this Smiley family would be welcomed. 

I am researching William SMITH, who emigrated to Montreal from Cambridge in the 1820's, first farming in the Griffintown area now known as Smith Park and later moving to St. Lambert, where he married Sarah JOHNSTON (b. 1781, d. 1859). Several generations of his descendents are buried in Mount Royal Cemetery. The Smiths are the oldest English family in the St. Lambert suburb of Montreal.

Child of William Smith and Sarah Johnston :

* William SMITH Jr. (b. 1816 London, d. 1848 Montreal)
m.  Ellen CAUTHERS (b. 1815, d. 1900 Montreal)
   1.  William SMITH III (b. 1839, d. 1915)
   2.  Mary Elizabeth SMITH  (b. 1840, d. 1880) m. Thomas Arthur BRERETON  (see Brereton query)
   3.  Anne SMITH (b. 1841)
   4.  Johnston SMITH (b. 1847)
   5.  Robert SMITH (b. 1848)
   6.  Rebecca SMITH (b. 1848?)

I am actively researching this family and would be very pleased to respond to any inquiries.

I am looking for the descendents of James Snowdon Sr. and any information regarding the lives of our common ancestors

James SNOWDON Sr. born January 26, 1791 in Kennet, Scotland, died July 5, 1870 in Montreal
married October 22, 1813 in Crieff, Scotland, to Janet COMRIE (1790-1816)
remarried on June 12, 1833 in Petite Brulée, Quebec, to Jane WELLSTEED. 
Jane was born August 1,1803 in Dorchester, England, to John WELLSTEED and Mary WHITE.

James Sr. and Janet's children:
* Joseph SNOWDON (1816-1842) married in Canada to Elizabeth HUTCHISON 

John STERLING/STIRLING married Louise Christina BRODIE, daughter of Hugh BRODIE and Christina CHRISTIE in 1890 in Montreal.

Their children, all born in Montreal, were:
* James Buchanan STIRLING (1891-1974) who married Beatrice M. HENRY (1891-1986)
* Irene Brodie STIRLING (1893-1895)
* Laurie Brodie STIRLING who married Irene NICHOL

James and Laurie each had at least two children . I'm looking for the decendants of these families to complete one of the lost branches of my KILGOUR/CHRISTIE tree.

I have LOTS of Montreal Stewarts so this is a VERY long query. Any help with piecing together the missing branches would be GREATLY appreciated!

Brothers George TATE, Thomas TATE and Charles TATE ran "Tate Brothers Shipbuilding" in Lachine, into the late 1800s. At the time of the building of the canal, they were also a ship-owners and Captains, plying the river between Montreal and Quebec City. Captain George owned the Lord Sydenham, reputed to be the first vessel to run the Lachine Rapids. I have much of their ancestry. I'm looking for descendant lines, pictures and anything to do with the businesses.

Thomas TATLOCK was born in 1860 in the UK and he married Mary McARTHUR in 1888 at St Patrick's, Montreal.

Thomas and Mary had the following children: 

* William Thomas TATLOCK born 1898
* Alice TATLOCK born ? (possibly born after William Thomas).

His wife Mary McARTHUR died in 1910. He remarried in 1910 or 1911 to Molly (also known as Helen) LOUGHMAN, maiden name O'DONNELL.

Thomas and Molly had the following children: 

* Thomas John TATLOCK born 1911, 
* Kathleen Catherine TATLOCK born 1913, 
* Emily TATLOCK born 1915, 
* James TATLOCK born 1916, 
* Gemma TATLOCK born 1922.

Thomas TATLOCK had also been married in 1879 in the UK, but he deserted his wife and children and did not divorce. He was a comedian and dancer on the stage, but he also worked as a waiter in taverns.

I don't think Thomas was Catholic as he wasn't when he was in England, but I think his children were Catholic as both his second and third wives were.

I would be really interested in details of any TATLOCK families in Montreal, as I have a feeling he would have gone to Montreal because he had relatives there. I only know he lived in Montreal between 1888 to about 1930.
 

1895 and 1896 Montreal directories: Tatlock, Thomas, roofer, 106 St. George

1922 Montreal directory: Tatlock, T., labourer, 879 De l'Epee, Outremont Tatlock, Wm., labourer, 1497 Alexandria

Children:

* Milton THOM

I have received World War 1 Military records for my gg grandfather, William Castle THOM, but so far have been unable to trace him any further.I am especially interested to discover his parents names. It seems William was not baptized so there are no records of his birth. I would be especially interested if anyone has any knowledge of this family.

THOMSON family of ST LAMBERT 1840-1910
Searching for details of Thomson family originally from Scotland then sailed to Montreal Canada. 

My Great Grandfather James Charles THOMSON was Mayor of Saint Lambert from 1882 to 1886.  I have tried without success to find information about him for our family history. Can you help? It appears that, at that time, Council members named one of their number as mayor for a period of one year. For some reason my great-grandfather seems to have been an exception to this rule. I'm told that a Saint-Lambert resident may consult the council minutes for this period by appointment with the Assistant City Clerk (450-923-6531). Only in this way I could learn more about the events that took place during my great-grandfather's time as mayor.

James Charles THOMSON , who also owned a cabinetmaking business, and his wife Mary J.K. Thomson had the following known children born in Montreal:

* James THOMSON - b.15th Dec 1897, Montreal
* Violet Marguerite THOMSON  - b. 2nd October 1896, Monteal
* Hilda THOMSON - an older sister of the above - date and place of birth unknown.

The family returned to the UK early 1900s.

Robert and Janet THOMSON immigrated from Scotland sometime after 1875.  I am told they died in Montreal but have not found dates yet.  They had at least 4 children: 
* Allan THOMSON (my grandfather), 
* David THOMSON
* Mary THOMSON
* Bessie (Elizabeth?) THOMSON. 
I am told that Mary Thomson was a dressmaker in Montreal.

William THOMPSON: When he was married in Montreal (catholic) to Marie-Louise DUBOIS in 1813, he is said to be the son of John THOMPSON of Morpeth (Northumberland) and of the late Frances STOREY.  I have searched the records or all the town around Morpeth and have found neither his baptism nor his parent's marriage.  I have searched both Church of England and Non-conformist parishes, the IGI and Scots Origins.  I suspect they may have come from the Borders area of Scotland, as William's son will say later that he is of Scottish descent. (May be Border Irregular Marriage?).  My mother's great-grandmother was Sophie-Caroline THOMPSON, grand-daughter of William THOMPSON.

Frank C. THORNTON Sr. b Nov 12, 1858 in Montreal, died Nov 23, 1934 in Chicago Illinois. Married Henryetta Bruett STONE b. April 1860 in Cornwall England, married about 1880 in Montreal, died about 1932 in Chicago.

Children, all born in Montreal between 1880 and 1886:
* Hattie THORNTON
* William THORNTON (twin of Frank)
* Frank THORNTON (twin of William)
* Maude THORNTON

The family immigrated 1887 to Illinois. I have no information on the ancestors and am just beginning the search. Any tips would be appreciated.

TOOMER, William.  Birthplace and parents unknown.   In 1825  he was a private soldier at Fort George, Upper Canada (now Ontario).  Next I know he marries Rosa DONEAHAY on 06 May1827 in Montreal.  He was a drummer with the 76th Regiment at the time of his marriage and his regiment left soon after for Ireland.  It appears he was in Ireland until 1833 and then, still with the 76th, in Dominica in the West Indies 1834/5.

My great, great grandmother, Mary TOOMER born about 1829, was his daughter.  Mary married in Liverpool, UK, and migrated to Australia in the 1850s.

If anyone else is researching this line I would appreciate assistance pre 1825 especially for parents, birthplace and offspring of William TOOMER.  Willing to assist with information on Mary TOOMER (married name (1) BARNETT  (2) MAHER) in Australia.

Margaret Jane UPTON (b. Jun 12 1858 in Ashford, Co. Limerick,  d. Oct 2 1937 in Westmount, buried Mount Royal Cemetery Section L 1214) married to George Pomeroy KNOTT (see KNOTT query). 

She emigrated to Canada in 1873 from Ireland.  Her mother Margaret (b. Oct 22 1822) came to Canada in 1840(?) and was living with the family in 1901 at 4488 St Catherine Street.  At the time of Margaret Jane's death (1937) she was living at 4430 St Catherine Street.  I'm looking for any more details concerning this family and their life in Montreal and emigration from Ireland.

My g-g-grandfather Henry Weston Peter URQUHART was born in Quebec City June 29,  1833, and baptised July 28, 1833, to parents H.B. and Amelia URQUHART, as per the National Archives of Quebec. I was unable to locate an H. Urquhart in the 1842 Quebec City census, but did locate a Henry URQUHART and wife J. in the  1842 and 1861 Montreal census' with their children. 

Mount Royal Cemetery informs that Henry  URQUHART, died Dec.7,1874, and Jane Watt URQUHART, died March 22,1863, are both buried in the cemetery. But I have not been able to make the connection, for certain. Perhaps Jane is a second wife. 

Looking for James WAIT and his wife Jane PHILLIPS (see PHILLIPS query), who came to Montreal from Scotland. James was born in North Berwick, Scotland on 15 June 1816, and Jane in Ireland, possibly Londonderry, around 1820. By 1850 they had settled in Mineville, New York. 

Also looking for William WAIT who "built the docks at Montreal" according to family history. William was born in North Berwick on 7 June 1825.

I am trying to find information on my paternal great grandparents

According to the records at the Mount Royal Cemetery in Montreal John died before Margaret Brown. Margaret was born in Canada and died on April 28th, l925. She died at the age of 73 years. Her last residence and place of death was 631 Quebec Ave., Outremont, Quebec.

John and Margaret had several children: 
* Robert WALKER (a doctor he moved to Michigan and married . He and his wife had a son and  a daughter)
* William WALKER married and stayed in Montreal, (he owned a business with over l00 cab and horses in Montreal he died with no children to the best of my knowledge).

I'm looking for the decendants of William WHITEHEAD and Carolina Wheatly Shearer NICHOLSON,daughter of  Peter NICHOLSON and Ann SHEARER (sister of James SHEARER). Carolina was born Dec.29, 1850 in Olrig, Caithness, Scotland and immigrated to Montreal with her parents and older siblings c1860 to join SHEARER kin already living in Montreal.

In 1874 Carolina married William WHITEHEAD at Crescent Church in Montreal. From Mount Royal cemetery records it seems they lived in Winnipeg for a while, where a couple of their children were born. Carolina died a widow in 1922 in Montreal. Her husband William WHITEHEAD is not in the family plot.  I have no idea when/where he was born or when/where he died.

Known children of William WHITEHEAD and Carolina Wheatly Shearer NICHOLSON:

* Anna Eva WHITEHEAD b: Abt. 1875 Montreal  d: August 25, 1876 Montreal (infant)
* Ethel Maude Dora WHITEHEAD b:December 10,1879 Winnipeg, Manitoba, d. Dec. 28, 1879

   According to MR cemetery records, he was the husband of Mary HERRICK. She's not burried there.

There may have been other children born in Winnipeg or elsewhere?  I'd love to connect with any decendants of this branch.

Looking for any information regarding my WHITELAW family, during the seven years they lived in Montreal.   JACOB WHITELAW and MARY JANE THOMAS immigrated to  Montreal in 1873.  He was from Duns, Berwickshire Scotland and she was from Liverpool, England.

My Wilson ancestry in Montreal begins with Samuel WILSON and his wife Elizabeth CROCKETT who immigrated to Montreal from Rasharkin, Co. Antrim, Ireland in 1842. They arrived with their two infant children, Annie WILSON (b.1838 in Ballymena) and James Crockett WILSON (b.1841 in Rasharkin). Three more children were born to them in Montreal. The family consisted of:

* Annie WILSON (1838-1931) married Robert Anderson BECKET (brother of John Cunningham BECKET) in 1858 in Montreal and they had 12 children. (see BECKET query)

* J.C. WILSON(1841-1899) (my gg grandfather) married Jeannie KILGOUR of  Beauharnois (dau of William KILGOUR and Ann WILSON [no relation]..) in 1863 and had 8 children, all born in Montreal:
1) Warden Crockett WILSON (died as an infant)
2) James Crockett WILSON (died as an infant)
3)William Walter Coulthard WILSON (1869-1924) married Mellie MARX (1871-1948) (no children)
4) Frank Howard WILSON (1873-1929) married Graham STEWART (see Stewart query)
5)Edwin Howlett WILSON (1875-1943) married Mabel Frances ELLIOT (1879-1964) (2 children)
6) Ethel Florida WILSON (1877-1949) married Percy McINTOSH (1875- )(no children)
7) Lawrence Crockett WILSON (died as an infant)
8) Annie Lachute WILSON (1883-1967) married Edgar Campbell BUDGE (1882-1943) (2 children)
Jeannie KILGOUR died in 1897 and in 1898 J.C. WILSON married a widow named Catherine Elizabeth SIMPSON (nee TAYLOR). Family *rumour* suggests they may have had a son.

* Maria WILSON (1844-1845)
* George Samuel WILSON married Edith Ann ALPORT  in 1880 and had three children - none of whom seem to have married.They're all buried in Mount Royal cemetery.
* Elizabeth WILSON (1848-1849)

Elizabeth CROCKETT died in Montreal in 1849 and her husband Samuel WILSON is said to have remarried. In 1851, at St. Gabriel's Church there is a record of a Samuel WILSON (widow) marrying Catherine WALKER. 
They had at least 2 children:
* John WILSON 1851-1859
* William WILSON 1853-1854

Sam died in Montreal in 1856. I don't know if he had any other children with Catherine WALKER. 

I am searching for the marriage of Alexander WILSON and Juliette DAIGNAULT in Montreal 1915/1919. This was the first marriage for Juiette...her second was to Oscar LOFTA. Nothing is known of the Wilson family.

I have no idea if he was Catholic or Protestant but Juliette was Catholic so perhaps he was too.

My great-grandmother Mary WINDER (originally from Glasgow), married Frederick Benjamin NORRIS in Montreal (see NORRIS query). 

Mary had a brother, John WINDER, who married Maggie CUNDELL on Sept. 14,1883. They had 9 children.  John operated an upholstery shop on Notre Dame St. in Montreal until his death at age 41 in 1905.  I belive Maggie's parents were William CUNDALL and Margaret McKENZIE.

Would like to correspond and share info with anyone else in these family lines. 

In 1876 Robert WOOD went into partnership in Montreal with his nephew, Frederick William EVANS, under the name of  Wood & Evans Insurance Agents. Frederick William EVANS was the son of  Robert WOOD's sister, Selina Anna WOOD, and her husband William EVANS (see EVANS query). Robert immigrated to Canada in 1834 and died in Montreal in 1886. That's all I know

I'm looking for ancestors and descendants of  Robert WOOD, and his sister, Selina Anna WOOD, and any other siblings they may have had. Also looking for any info on Robert's career.

I'm looking to find out more about who my great-grandmother's parents were,
MARY ANN WOODWARD b. 1856 (not sure where yet) married Chas Martin BEALE at St. Judes, Montreal, in 1875 with the permission of her father ALEXANDER WOODWARD as well as the signature of  EMMA WOODWARD (not sure yet whether mother sister aunt?). She died 1927 and is buried at Mount Royal cemetery in the BEALE family plot. 

I have seen an ancestral file of an Emma WOODWARD whose father is Alexander WOODWARD  who went to Mass. USA to marry and live? and died in Montreal 1934 and is buried in  Mount Royal Cemetery but the address is no longer valid, it was submitted by Robert W. McKEOWN whom I'd like to get in touch with. 

I am looking for my great, great grandfathers 3 brothers: 
* Henry YOUNG born 1818 Avoch Scotland. 
* John YOUNG born 1823 in Avoch, Scotland
* and another John YOUNG born in 1824 in Avoch)

One of the brothers (which one I do not know) emigrated to Montreal prior to 1872. He had a son named Donald YOUNG who worked for the Montreal Gazette.  The other 2 brothers emigrated to New York.

When my  g g grandfather Simon YOUNG, and his son, William YOUNG emigrated in 1871,  they went first to New York and then on to Montreal, where they stayed with the Montreal brother.

My great grandfather William YOUNG worked for the railway for a while, before they moved to Ontario.

My ggg grandfather was Robert YOUNG a merchant in Ross & Cromarty, and held railway stock at the time of his death.   Many of my relatives worked for and helped build the CPR.

Can you help me  in locating any ZAPPA immigrants from 1860 to 1900 ? 
My grandfather was Agostinon ZAPPA who arrived from  L'Aquila, Italy with, I am told, two brothers.
He settled in Montreal while his brothers apparently moved on to the U.S.
