Hi Mary, Jan, Kerri, Maree, Ave, (My apologies if I have missed anyone) I will be responding off-line to Thank you personally. WOW! My sincere Thanks for all the information I received regarding Margaret, Janet, Maryann McNeil. You have been most helpful helping me to trace the McNeil Family. What a great list......... Catherine (sister born after Maryann) married Alexander McDonald in 1847 then she disappears. I did find her in the 1871 Scottish Census living with her brother Donald and Family, then she disappears again. Dare I hope that she is also in Australia also! I will find her one of these days I am sure. Your response was overwhelming. Looks like I have quite a number of Family in Australia. I thought I was lucky a number of years ago when my Aunt told me about a cousin (1st cousin once removed) in Sydney. She is 92 years of age and has been an absolute delight to talk to. She had been looking for my MacNeil Family most of her life so she was just delighted when I contacted her. You have all been extremely generous with your information and I am just over the moon. Now I will have to sit back and digest it all. Thank You all for the wonderful information you have supplied. Warmest regards to all Wilma - in Very Cold Ontario, Canada - minus 8 not including the windchill factor.
