However, for records I've found for her, public records in Canada have shown a maiden name of Ellen Drummond born 1800 in Scotland. A lot of times she does show up as "Helen" which seems to be common with the name Ellen. She married Mathew Todd who was from Northumberland County, England. > They are on the 1841 Scotland census with their 4 children: Janet, Ellen (shows as Helen); Robert, John, and my Great Grandmother Anderson. Ellen also shows as: Helen. At that time the address showed as: Gartmore No. 37; Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland. It seems that the family may have moved about a bit. At the time Mathew/Matthew shows as a stoneware merchant. > Her first Son was named Robert MacGregor/McGregor Todd, and her second son was named John Drummond Todd. > The family immigrated to Fergus, Wellington, Ontario sometime between 1841 and 1861. Mathew, Ellen, Anderson, and John were on the 1861 census together. Ellen died there in 1863. The Daughter's Janet and Ellen had married, but were also in the Wellington County area. I'm not sure where Robert was, but I have found him in the United States after 1860. > I'm hoping to find the parents for Ellen, to see if I can take her line back further. I don't have a lot to go on, unfortunately. I haven't found any marriage record for she and Mathew which I thought could help. > Would appreciate any help or advice. > Thanks so much!!
