I am looking for any information on my great-grandfather John Osborne born in Glasgow, Scotland and emigrated to Nova Scotia. He married Emily Horne in 1878 and on the 1881 census gave his age as 22 Shirley Lane

Frequently while going through Quebec marriage registers I run across Scottish and Irish names (can't tell them apart in that context). Would there be any interest on this list in my posting what I find from time to time, even if it is not names anyone has asked about? I know that some lists like this and some don't so I wanted to ask before posting anything. I also have a subscription to PRDH (U. of Montreal, Quebec genealogy before 1799) online and also run across non-French names there. I can't take lookup requests unless they are for a specific location in Quebec. Most of what I have is "strays" outside the usual places the Scots and Irish settled, so I can't help with Montreal or most of the Eastern Townships. Please reply off-list rather than clutter up the archives with a lot of yes-no type responses. Regards, Sharyn McGlinchey Hay
