Hello Joan in B.C., The only one I could find so far is a John Ingram who settled in the Mekiwin District in 1874 or 1875. Nothing else is said of him. Osprey later became a part of the Langford Municipality. You could look through the 1901 Canada census online. Osprey is north west of Neepawa. There is an Osprey history book that was compiled in 1967. A Mr. Davidson was a member of the Osprey school board and wrote a history of the Osprey school district. This history is in the Osprey book. There is a lookup volunteer in the Wester Region Section Patricia Sherman who has the book, Langford Municipality 1891-1991, which has a complete listing of property owners for all quarter-sections. http;//www.rootsweb.com/~mbwest/lookups.htm I don't believe this is the same book as the Osprey history book. If I find the correct name I'll post it.
