Don't know if this will help, but a distant cousin Margaret Orr m. Tom Duncan in Ormstown Que. Canada. This place is south west of Montreal Que. This would of been in the early 1900's. Many Scots settled in this area in the early 1800's. This area is close to the US border & many moved to the US because of large families, the son's had to move on (usually west) to get land/employment.
