New to the list. Hi everyone. I am looking for information on the William SCOTT. I would like an accurate year for his arrival in Canada if that was possible and where he came from exactly.Where could I go for that? I would be interested in any material on him as I have been told that he had considerable influence in the development of this town. The family have given me some information.

Hi Maggie; Please include me on your list. Thank you, Mary Jo Gibbons
Hi Rhonda: I have a possible longshot connection: William Blackwood - (born ? ca. 1865? died ?) Married Lizzie Simpson or Elizabeth Simpson. He was involved in the invention of ginger ale and was a partner of his father-in-law, Harvey Simpson, a rich landowner and MP for one of the Manitoba federal ridings who raised a regiment and served as its quartermaster in the First World War. William launched a soft drink business in Manitoba, then went to Ontario, where he was involved in the startup of Canada Dry. He apparently took the recipe for his Belfast-style ginger ale in 1904 to pharmacist and chemist John J. McLaughlin, who had opened a plant to bottle soda water in Toronto in 1890, and had been working for years to achieve the perfect ginger ale formula. In 1907 the name Canada Dry was given to the concoction, and in 1919 the company began to ship Canada Dry Pale Ginger Ale south of the border to New York City. Two years later, the company opened the first Canada Dry plant in the United States, on 38th Street in New York. In 1930, Canada Dry added Tonic Water, Club Soda, Collins Mix and fountain syrup to the product line. In 1936 Canada Dry International was organized and a bottler was awarded a licence in Lima, Peru. The company also pioneered the use of aluminum cans in 1953. RJR/Nabisco eventually acquired the firm, selling it to Cadbury Schweppes of England in 1986. A bottle from the original Winnipeg plant for Blackwoods Royal Edinburgh Ginger Beer came up for auction in Winnipeg in 1996. There was also some sort of Blackwood pickle company listed in Winnipeg in the 1909 business directory. There was also a Blackwood Brothers brewery, which became the Manitoba Brewing and Malting Company, and the Blackwood brothers were bought out by the Pellisier family around 1970. His Wife: Elizabeth Simpson or Lizzie Simpson (born 1869 died ?), She was one of 13 or 14 children, mostly born in the Ottawa Carleton area, may have been the youngest sister of Harvey Simpson and Rhodella Irwin Armstrong. Their Child: 1. Daughter - Kathleen Blackwood (born ? died ?). Married a man named McAllister, lived in Calgary. ---------- Does Elizabeth Simpson fit in anywhere? William Blackwood is said to have swindled Harvey Simpson out of his socks for many years before running away to Toronto. dennis bell in british columbia gary and rhonda simpson wrote: > I have 4 Simpson brothers who came at various times in the early 1900's to Winnipeg.

I have 4 Simpson brothers who came at various times in the early 1900's to Winnipeg. I have found descendants for 2, but am at a loss for the others. Is anyone researching the following: James Walker Simpson b 1867 Keith Banff or Fintray Aberdeen (registered in both) Hugh Simpson b 1876 New Machar, Abdn. Both appear in the Henderson Directory for Winnipeg. James Walker Simpson was married to a Margaret when he died in Winnipeg1923. It is believed he married Hugh's widow but it is unknown if this is fact or not. I have not found a death notice for Hugh. James may also have been a widower when he married "Margaret Would appreciate hearing from anyone who may be connected. Regards, Rhonda Simpson Manitoba

Hello, This morning I discovered that my sister's research from several years ago had some incorrect names. She had found the possible parents for Elizabeth RITCHIE, b1837 in Scotland (or Ireland), were Andrew and Elizabeth (?) RITCHIE. But, at someone's suggestion, I checked the IGI records at the LDS web site, and discovered that Elizabeth's parents might have been: William RITCHIE and Elizabeth "Betty" THOMSON who were married in Feb. 1828 in Dundee, Angus, Scotland. I was wondering if anyone else was researching the family of William and "Betty" RITCHIE in Angus, Scotland, during the 1800's. If they were married there in 1828, and their daughter, Elizabeth, wasn't born until 1837, then there were probably other children born in the 1830's. If I stay within Dundee, there were four William RITCHIE's born in 1797, 1798, and 1805. Possible fathers were David, William, and John RITCHIE. If I stay within Dundee, the possible parents for "Betty" THOMSON were William and Christian (NICOLL) THOMSON. However, there were three other "Betty" THOMSON's, also born between 1795 and 1807. My ancestor, Elizabeth RITCHIE, probably married William HANNAH on Jan. 7, 1855, in "Barony Parish." William and Elizabeth HANNAH had one daughter, Mary Anna, b~1856, and a second daughter, Elizabeth, b. Apr. 1857. In August 1857, they migrated to Massachusetts and settled in Everett, MA. They had several more children there. Miss Elizabeth HANNAH married William KERR in Malden, MA, in 1876. They had six children. William KERR was part of an extended KERR / HENDERSON family which migrated from County Sligo, Ireland, to Argenteuil County, Quebec Province, Canada, in ~1824. .. My uncles and aunts INSIST that their KERR ancestors came from SCOTLAND, and no one is going to change their minds. :o) This might be partly true as the KERR's might have migrated from Scotland to Ireland in the 1700's. To get back to the RITCHIE surname, I'd like to find out whether my ancestor, Miss Elizabeth RITCHIE, b1837, Dundee?, had any siblings. And, I'd like to find out, if she had siblings, did they also migrate to either the USA or Canada. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) -- ...
