    3. Hi All I am new to this list, live in Saskatchewan, Canada. My G-G-Great Grandmother was Margaret SINCLAIR who married Robert Maxwell GRAHAM said to have come from a long line of Robert Maxwell Grahams and there is six more (RMG) after him. There is some family legends about these two but would like to know more about their families if anyone recognizes them from the following information. Thank you very much for your time, Robert (Bob) Walde Neilburg, Saskatchewan >From a cousin "The Sinclair father's first name was Harry (one R in Hary) for two or three generations. An easy one to notice. They came from the Orkney Islands. There was a record of them still living there in the late 1700's, or possible even early 1800's. The three Sinclair girls were Margaret, Isabella and Jane. All three lived with Robert Maxwell Graham in a suite above the bake shop in St. John, New Brunswick. Margaret and Robert were married in January," From Daniel F Johnson : Volume 39 Number 854 Date : June 12, 1876 County : Saint John Place : Saint John Newspaper : The Daily Telegraph The language of the text is the original used in the newspaper entry and as transcribed by Daniel F.
