Posted on: Buteshire Scotland Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/Scotland/Bute/495 Surname: McKirdy ------------------------- Hi Merv--I am trying to find 'my' Alexander McKirdy born in Buteshire c.1810-15 moved to Quebec, Canada c.1849-51 and then to Owen Sound, Ontario (date unkn) and then to Michigan, U.S.A. c. 1865. He was married to Jane McMurchy and they had several children born in Canada including my great grandfather John McCurdy born 1854 in Quebec. There are several Alexander McKirdy's born about the same time and I am unable to find the right one. I wanted to ask you if you have info on Agnes Hyndman who married Alexander McKirdy 23Nov1850 in North Bute? Do you know if she died in Buteshire before 1852 or moved to Canada and died in Canada before 1854? If this is the 'right' Alexander, he may have a son named Alexander, born in Scotland, and then son John and the rest of his children were born in Canada and their mother would have been Jane McMurchy/McMurchie... Any info on this Agnes, would be appreciated...there seems to be several Agnes Hyndman's born, christened, married different times in Buteshire-area, so she may be as difficult to track as Alexander... Thanks, Carol U.S.A.
