Hi List: Does anyone on the list have a copy of Donald Whyte's "A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation" vol. 2 (1995)? A Thomas Blacklock is supposed to be mentioned on p. 20. I would most appreciate if sks would tell me what is written about him, and am thanking you in advance. Also: My Blacklocks came to Canada from Ecclefechan. Which port would have been the most likely port of departure and/or port of entry into Canada? My Thomas Blacklock (who married Jean Cock, Dornock) seems more remote than ever. Thanks for your help, any and all leads. Barbara Brown Allen Blacklock, Cock, Rome, Carruthers, Cockpen

Hi Barbara...I don't know where Ecclefechan is, but according to the 1851 census, my folks lived in the Parish of Kirkcolm. In June of 1852 they boarded the ship Mayflower New York either in Glasgow or Greenock. The voyage originated in Glasgow but made a stop in Greenock on the Clyde a few days after departure. From there they sailed to New York City and arrived on 21 July 1852. The family shows up again in the 1861 Canadian census in Ontario. I'm not sure how or when they arrived there.
