I have found some posts in the archives about McQuarrie connections and no one has the same email address so I can write! I am in contact recently with Bruce McQuarrie who is writing about the family. Finding him was very accidental. Anyway, Bruce and I are 3rd cousins once removed. My family is down from Alexander m. Katherine in 1774 in Ulva/son Lauchlan m. Catherine McInnes/to their son Harvey(born in US) to his son John Lachlan McQuarrie. John Lachlan was born, as far as I can tell, in Brock ON to Harvey's first wife, Elizabeth Robbins. In 1858 Harvey is listed in the land atlas for lots in Osprey. Harvey is on the 1861 census for Osprey. Harvey married a second time to Mary McInnes and had another family. There is a mistake on the 1871 census and John is listed as 2, but this should be Daniel of the second marriage who is 12 in 1881. John Lachlan is mistranscribed on the 1881 census as John McDarrie. He married Marian Dand of Feversham, daughter of William and Marion Dand. They had 6 children, 5 surviving. My grandfather is John James born in 1885. His older sisters married, Margaret married David Tait of Orillia and George Wallace in Vancouver(she knew him in Ontario)and Stella married Richard Redpath and Alf Thompkins. The Redpaths still live in Collingwood! There is a second McQuarrie in the Redpath family, Margaret from the John McQuarrie Jr family of Egremont/Shrigley. I know some of this family and how they all come together in Shrigley. I would appreciate any information about Harvey and his family and John Lachlan and his family all in Osprey. Thanks, Bonnie McQuarrie born in Saskatoon but now living in California
