John W Vincent b. 1834 in Nova Scotia (possibly New Annan, Colchester Co.) married Mary Ann Rogers b. 1833 in Nova Scotia - I couldn't find a record of marriage but I believe they were married in the 1850's. The Nova Scotia Vital Statistics does not have many marriages recorded for the 50's. John W Vincent is listed in the 1901 Canada census as living in Brookfield, Colchester Co., NS. Harriet Amelia m. James King in Pictou on 22 Apr 1880 James Burton m. Maria Eleanor Louther in Truro on 30 Apr 1897. Edith married Franklin L Slade in Boston, Mass., USA on 24 Aug 1909. It's not much but perhaps a little to start -- I didn't find a Robert D but rather a David Reubenson b. 1866. Good Luck!!

Hello everyone! I'm new to the list so thought I'd post my research interests.  Just starting a search in Pictou County...   Looking for information on : Ralph Nairn b 1904  Mother Catherine Nairn   Mary Constance MacDonald b Dec 7 1906 Father Huey MacDonald   I think I may have found Ralph and his mother in the 1911 census on Ancestry but can't locate Mary and her family.   If anyone who has connections to the family or has info that might help I'd certainly appreciate hearing from you.   Many thanks!!!
