Hi Peter! In the 1871 Census I show: New Glasgow (2-183-195) April 24, 1871. Alexander, widower, farmer, 66; Alexander, single, farmer, 30; Marjory, single, 34. Alexander, 66, born Scotland; others, Nova Scotia; religion all Church of Scotland. In my side notes, I show a "Christianna" as his wife...don't know where I got that though. And I also show that the younger Alex and his sister Marjory are buried at Murray Point Cemetery, Lower Barney's River...again....I didn't note where I got info....BUT, if they have a headstone...it will be on Murray Point Cemetery list online. And a third note I have, is that area of New Glasgow where they are living, is actually Fraser's Mountain...just east of New Glasgow.
