I know that Harriet passed in 1906 and Matilda passed away in 1907, but the males were still alive. I have the info on John Clark McDonald who was married and had a few children by the 1911 census, but I cannot find what happened to Alexander Sr. or Jr., Thomas or Norman. I've exhausted the 1911 census for Grey County. I thought perhaps someone on the list might either have cemetery transcripts for the Durham cemetery and might see that the family is there, or you may be somehow connected to McDonalds. If so, I would love to hear from you. Regards, Kim ============================== View and search Historical Newspapers. Read about your ancestors, find marriage announcements and more.

Hi Kim: I found at www.archives.ca, Soldiers of WWI: Soldiers of the First World War Names: MCDONALD , NORMAN CHARLES Regimental number: 784115 Rank: DVR Reference: RG 150, Accession 1992-93/166, Box 6756 - 7 Born: November 5, 1896 at Durham, Ontario Next of Kin: Father, Alexander McDonald Address of Next of Kin: Durham, Ontario Occupation: Teamster Married: No His attestation papers are online. Also: Soldiers of the First World War Names: MCDONALD , THOMAS WILLIAM Regimental number: 1345 Reference: RG 150, Accession 1992-93/166, Box 6765 - 37 Born: Durham, Ontario Next of Kin: Alex E. McDonald, Durham, Ontario Occupation: Clerk Married: No Attestation papers online. You can look for Alexander in case he also signed up for the War. There are 213 of them and from the dates of birth for the other two, the ones you have may be a little different. Likely Alex, Jr stayed home to farm. From the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site, deaths, it looks like Thomas died in the war: http://www.cwgc.org/debt_of_honour.asp?menuid=14 Casualty Details Name: McDONALD Initials: T W Nationality: Canadian Rank: Private Regiment: Canadian Army Medical Corps Unit Text: 4th Field Amb Date of Death: 09/12/1918 Service No: 1345 Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: III. J. 4. Cemetery: BROOKWOOD MILITARY CEMETERY Cemetery Details Cemetery: BROOKWOOD MILITARY CEMETERY Country: United Kingdom Locality: Surrey Location Information: Brookwood is 30 miles from London (M3 to Bagshot and then A322). The main entrance to Brookwood Military Cemetery is on the A324 from the village of Pirbright. There is a direct train service from Waterloo to Brookwood Station from which there is an entrance to the cemetery. Historical Information: BROOKWOOD MILITARY CEMETERY is owned by the Commission and is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom, covering approximately 37 acres. In 1917, an area of land in Brookwood Cemetery (The London Necropolis) was set aside for the burial of men and women of the forces of the Commonwealth and Americans, who had died, many of battle wounds, in the London district. This site was further extended to accommodate the Commonwealth casualties of the Second World War. There is a large Royal Air Forces section in the south-east corner of the cemetery (which also contains the graves of Czech and American airmen who served with the Royal Air Force) and the Air Forces shelter building nearby houses the register of the names of those buried in the section. A plot in the west corner of the cemetery contains approximately 2,400 Canadian graves of the Second World War including those of 43 men who died of wounds following the Dieppe Raid in August 1942. The Canadian Records building, which was a gift of the Canadian government, houses a reception room for visitors and other offices. In addition to the Commonwealth plots, the cemetery also contains French, Polish, Czech, Belgian and Italian sections, and a number of war graves of other nationalities all cared for by the Commission. The American Military Cemetery is the responsibility of the American Battle Monuments Commission. Brookwood Military Cemetery now contains 1,601 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 3,476 from the Second World War. Of the Second World War burials 5 are unidentified, 3 being members of the R.A.F. and 2 being members of the R.C.A.F. The war graves of other nationalities in the Commission's care number 786 including 28 unidentified French. As an agency service on behalf of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, the Commission also maintains a plot of the graves of Chelsea Pensioners, which is situated adjacent to the Military Cemetery, and a small plot containing the graves of 12 members of the nursing services in the adjoining Brookwood Cemetery is also in the Commission's care. The BROOKWOOD MEMORIAL stands at the southern end of the Canadian section of the cemetery and commemorates 3,500 men and women of the land forces of the Commonwealth who died during the Second World War and have no known grave, the circumstances of their death being such that they could not appropriately be commemorated on any of the campaign memorials in the various theatres of war. They died in the campaign in Norway in 1940, or in the various raids on enemy occupied territory in Europe such as Dieppe and St Nazaire. Others were special agents who died as prisoners or while working with Allied underground movements. Some died at sea, in hospital ships and troop transports, in waters not associated with the major campaigns, and a few were killed in flying accidents or in aerial combat. The BROOKWOOD (UNITED KINGDOM 1914-18) MEMORIAL was created in 2004. It commemorates more than 200 Commonwealth casualties who died in the United Kingdom during the First World War but for whom no graves could be found.

Karen This is very helpful indeed, and I agree that this gentleman seems to be a possibility - though there was a Nova Scotia born Neil McMillan in the area as well.

Leora Thanks so much for passing on this information. It gives me a precise marriage location, which I did not have before. I also appreciate the detail about the children, but there is just one point I wondered if I could check: Janet's birth is recorded in two sources as Jan 4 1907, but the birth of William Dugald McMillan (below) is listed at just three months before. Could William's birth be in 1905? (Another daughter was born in 24 May 1904, but not named; she may have died in infancy). Again, thank you so much for the information. As you are interested in the McKenzie line, I'll get back to you if I find out more.

Hi list, I'm looking for information on the following family in Grey: John Alexander ("Sandy") McDonald b. abt 1850 d. abt 1934 in Durham his wife, Harriet McClocklin b. 11 Dec 1860 in Glenelg Twp. d. 24 Nov 1906 in Durham Their family: John Clark McDonald b. 5 Apr 1882 Thomas William McDonald b. 19 Aug 1883 Alexander H McDonald b. 18 Jul 1888 Norman C McDonald b. 5 Nov 1896 Martha Matilda McDonald b. 27 Dec 1898 I found them on the 1901 census in Durham, but am having a harder time in 1911. I know that Harriet passed in 1906 and Matilda passed away in 1907, but the males were still alive. I have the info on John Clark McDonald who was married and had a few children by the 1911 census, but I cannot find what happened to Alexander Sr. or Jr., Thomas or Norman. I've exhausted the 1911 census for Grey County. I thought perhaps someone on the list might either have cemetery transcripts for the Durham cemetery and might see that the family is there, or you may be somehow connected to McDonalds. If so, I would love to hear from you. Regards, Kim

Thanks to some great help from Jopie Loughead I've been able to locate, and get the memorial details of, my relatives Janet LITTLESON (1837 - 1898) and Duncan McMILLAN (137 - 1905) who emigrated from Argyll, Scotland, first to Puslinch in Wellington County, and then to Keppel Township, Grey Co. The gravestone inscription reads: Big Bay Cemetery: Keppel Township. John McMILLAN, died July 8, 1937 aged 64 years. His wife, Catherine McKENZIE, died December 10, 1953, aged 79 years. Donald, son of Donald and Janet, died July 27, 1882, aged 16 years and 5 months & 16 days. Mary McMillan, died June 12, 1891, aged 23 years. Duncan McMillan, died December 30, 1896, aged 25 years, 9 months, 14 days. Donald McMILLAN, died February 26, 1905, 67 years. His wife Janet LITTLESON, died October 8, 1898 aged 61 years. Native of Kintyre, Scotland. Janet LITTLESON and Duncan McMILLAN actually had five children, and, as can be seen from the MI above, three died young. I am trying to trace descendants of the other two children, and wonder if members of the Grey list can help. John McMILLAN (1873 - 1937) (see MI above) married Catherine McKENZIE and the couple had three children before the 1911 census: Duncan (born 1901), George (1902) and Janet (1907). More children may have been born later. QUESTION - Does anyone know of descendants of these siblings? Neil McMILLAN (1881 - ) was living with a CUDDIE family in Wiarton in 1901, was a clerk in Fisher & Sawyers [?] in 1905 when his father died, but could not be found in the 1911 census. QUESTION - Does anyone know of a marriage, descendants or later location of Neil? So far, I have all the 1881, 1901 and 1911 census records (except for Neil); I've got the birth, marriage and death records of most of the people mentioned, and even, thank to Jopie the obituary of Duncan McMillan Snr. However, I would be delighted if anyone could help with descendants. With thanks and best regards Sarah Galbraith

Please disregard my earlier email. I should have contacted the Ontario Cemetery List. Thank you. Joyce

Can anyone advise me as to where I can research cemetery transcriptions for Whitby and Ajax, Ontario? Joyce

I am searching for the origin of my ggrandfather, Angus Cameron or his brother 'Jim' . According to other family Angus came from the Highlands b.1799 or 1800. He emigrated to Ontario Canada with his brother "Jim" who moved on to the Collingwood area as he was a 'shipbuilder'. 'Jim' was not knowingly heard from again. Angus settled near Beaverton and m. Harriet Demera and died 25 May 1869, age 69. My grandfather's name was Alexander nicknamed Sandy. Any assistance in this search would be greatly appreciated. Barry

My great-grandfather, David Dunn, and my great-grandmother, Isabella Foster, both from Grey County, were married about 1887, I believe in Grey County. On March 27, 1890, my grandmother Margaret Ann Dunn was born, again, I believe, in Grey County. Online I've found a report of a birth in Melancthon on March 27, 1890, of a Margaret Ann McCoy to parents David McCoy and Isabella Foster. This seems like an odd coincidence. I've found some other hints to suggest that David McCoy and David Dunn may be the same individual. But I have no proof one way or the other. Can anyone help me solve this puzzle?
