The closest town was Elkhorn and I have done some searching in the 1901 Census without success so far. I seem to have been unable to pick the right census district (I checked all the Brandon sub districts but missed any Allisons). Since Elkhorn is only 7 or 8 mi east of the Sask. border, could the farm be in Saskatchewan (which was Dist.. of Assiniboia until 1905). My father's family [mother Mary (Greenlees) Pattison, with daughter Margaret and three sons] moved from Scotland in 1900 and in the summer of 1901 stayed at the Allison farm (Allison had also emigrated earlier from Scotland and may have been known to the family). The sons moved on, but Margaret married William Allison, son of Allison Sr. in 1905. It is Mary, my grandmother that I seek. The family did not pay enough attention to record where she died in 1907. It is most likely she stayed with the daughter, who was more settled than the sons at the time. Manitoba vital records did not find a death entry for Mary Pattison in 1907. Any ideas on locating the Allisons would be gratefully received. --------------4FEDB98EB053FEE964F21E44 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="jpat2.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Jim Pattison Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="jpat2.vcf" begin:vcard n:Pattison;Jim x-mozilla-html:FALSE adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:jpat2@sympatico.ca fn:Jim Pattison, Toronto, Ont. end:vcard --------------4FEDB98EB053FEE964F21E44--
