    1. [CAN-BC] BAIN - Seaching for Canadian connections
    2. Chris Macneill
    3. At least two of my GGGrandUncles emigrated to Western Canada. Alexander Bain joined the 46th South Saskatchewan Regiment and died in France in 1918. There is some confusion over Alex as he appears to have enlisted under his mother's maiden name, McKay, but his gravestone is marked Bain. He appears in Canadian Military Archives and the WW1 Roll of Honour as McKay. Kenneth Bain died in Kamloops in 1896, apparently unmarried and without issue. I have his Death Certificate and his obituary from the local newspaper. I have also found a Donald Bain that may be my GGGrandUncle. I have obtained his Death Certificate and it shows him dying at age 43 on 9 April 1906 in South Vancouver, Canada and born Scotland. This fits with my ancestor b.11 May 1862, Latheronwheel, Caithness, Scotland. I would like to be able to either prove or disprove this link, as there were one or two other Donald Bains born in Scotland around this time. There also appears to be a record of Probate lodged with the British Columbia Supreme Court. If anyone can help me obtain information on the record of Probate or has other information on any of these individual I would be grateful. Regards Chris Macneill
