Hi again; Your grandmom's name wouldn't have been Laird would it? I'm looking for a family of Lairds living in Brandon in 1901. Have you checked the 1881 CDN census? The LDS site has it on-line. It can get frustrating indeed, but a year ago I knew practically nothing about the majority of my ancestry. Now I have 12,200 members of my family tree. Keep at it.

Hi John No, my Grandmother's maiden name was GREGSON. The Gregsons originated in Ireland and then Ontario and moved to Brandon (about 1885ish). My GGrandmother (Lily BONSER) came from Nottingham, England and met my GGrandfather John Stanley Gregson. John committed suicide in 1913 and Lily and their two children moved to Ontario sometime after 1913. I also knew very little of my ancestors and now have 14,500 in my tree. My problem is that the HARPER side of the family are a long list of "James" (all my Grandfather's were James - back to my 3x GGrandfather ... that I know of) of which there are many and I no idea where they were before 1900! I have been unsuccessful in finding any marriages, births or deaths prior to 1900. Anyway, the hunt goes on!!!! Thanks so much for your help!
