Don't use the word "request" in the address of the mailing list. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: KIRK Family-Scotland to Canada-1800's Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 19:08:29 -0700 From: "June Young" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Looking for a birth, and parents, for David KIRK, possibly of Edinburgh. He married Margaret BURNET(T), possibly of Kirkcaldy, about 1849+/-. Whether they married in Scotland prior to emigrating to Canada, I don't know. Once in Canada, they had at least 6 children: Janet, Elizabeth Bowie (b1852), Margaret (b1857), Margaret Westwater (b1862), Yellowless (Yellow Lees) (b1868), and David Monbray (b1871); may have been a Robert in there also. David was hit by a train and killed in 1897; buried in the Methodist Cemetery in West Farnham, Quebec. The children's birth records came from the Presbyterian Church there. I haven't been able to go any further with this family. I'm hoping that someone will recognize the middle names of the children and that they might be family names. Any help or suggestions as to where to look next would be very much appreciated. Thanks. June

I have received a letter written by my GGGgrandfather to my GGgrandfather. It was written in Kilmarnock on Dec 6, 1866. My question has to do with a term in the letter that I cannot decipher. The letter reads: "I wrote Thomas on receipt of yours of the 6 Nov and enclosed a [cart or cast or card or ??] of your Brother Alex and his..." . Could it be a term for daguerreotype, and if so, what is the actual term? TIA John
