I am researching the MARTIN-BROWN family of Currie, Midlothian, Scotland, in particular, their son Alexander MARTIN, b abt 1830. What I know first learned about him is as follows: "Alexander MARTIN - I don't have a death date, but he married a Betsy McLEAN and they lived near Gravenhurst. A note from letter dated 1978 states Alexander died in comparative youth and is buried in an old pioneer cemetery at Meaford. Alex had a nick name "Sandy". He had 2 sons who were blacksmiths around Gravenhurst and a daughter near Mimico." I have learned since that he died about 1878 - no death record found. He emigrated to Canada in 1848, first settling near Mimico, where he appears in the 1852 census. After that I have not been able to find him in subsequent census. I am guessing that he lived for a time near Meaford, before going to Gravenhurst. His daughter Elizabeth, was born 1858 in Mimico and married James RICE; they lived in Etobicoke and his sons I think were James and Alexander - birthdates unknown. If anyone recognizes this family or knows how to access records of this pioneer cemetery at Meaford, please let me know. Bonnie (Acheson) Anderson Kitchener, Ontario bonma@rogers.com
