He was born June 1st, 1892 in Kelty, Fifeshire, Scotland. His parents names, according to his marrige certificate were, Robert Wilkie and Elizabeth Boyd. He came to Canada in 1902 with his Aunt and Uncle. They are listed as James D McDonald, born about 1861, in Scotland and Mary McDonald, born Oct 1848, also in Scotland. A John Miller was also listed with them. He was the grandson of James and Mary. He was born Aug 1892, in Scotland. William Ralph Wilkie married Annie Gardner Cahill in 1915, in Regina, Saskatchewan. Annie was an orphan from Dundee, Scotland, but she was born in Cork, Ireland. Her parents are beleived to be Maria Cahill and Robert Gardner. She came to Canada as a Nanny.(I don't know the name of the family who brought her over.) William and Annie had 5 children. My GGrandfather was known to have gone by William, Ralph and Bill. William was also a member of the Royal North West Mount! ed Police. He inlisted twice. The first time was for 22 months, the second time was in Aug of 1918, as part of the Siberian Cavalry. His trade on his Attestation papers is Miner. We also know that he worked the Springhill mine in Nova Scotia and also the Coleman mines. If anyone has any information on either of my Great Grandparents, John Miller or the McDonalds it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
