According to the 1881 Canada census for Muskoka Co, Ontario, Catherine was born about 1833 in Ontario and was of french descent. She is listed with her children but not her husband Alexander McKay. Their children were Edouard, Alexander, John, James, William, Elizabeth (my great grandmother), Agnes, and David. At least 2 children were born in Penetanguishene, Simcoe Co, Ont and some of the children were married in Byng Inlet, Parry Sound Co, Ont. Most records for the children were found in parish records of Wikwemikong Mission on Manitoulin Island (there was a "travelling" Jesuit there), but I haven't been able to find the marriage of Catherine and Alexander. Any help greatly appreciated!!! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
