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. The site you mentioned which does copies for the much lower price is also greatly appreciated!

You might want to check him out. http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/textual/governmt/vstats/v_events.htm You can get a copy of the death registration from the URL below for only $4 instead of the $20 they are charging through the website. http://members.shaw.ca/copies/ Quite often the children stayed around till the parents passed on, then wandered off to greener pastures. - Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah Galbraith" <sarah.galbraith@btconnect.com> To: <CAN-ONT-GREY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 9:10 AM Subject: [Grey Co.] McMILLAN and McKENZIE, Big Bay / KKeppel, 1875 - > 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.
