Hi Heather- I think we may be able to narrow down Marion's death by a bit. The obituary for Alex McDougal, died in Arran Township, Bruce County, ONT, 1912, states that he was predeceased by a daughter, Mrs. Duncan Hunter. So that definitely puts her death prior to 1912. Also, I have long suspected that Marion and Duncan's daughter, Isabella, was orphaned at an early age as the 1881 census for Kilbride lists a Bella Hunter, granddaughter, born Glasgow, Lanark, aged 2, living with the household of Alex McDougall and Mary Campbell, but no parents by the name of Hunter. I realize that Bella may have just been living with them while her parents were working in Glasgow or elsewhere, but the fact that she also emigrated to Ontario with them seems to indicate she was already orphaned, or at least motherless. Marion is a bit of an enigma. She shows up on the 1861 Kildalton cnesus with her family at Kilbride, age listed as 18, but no earlier or later censuses (censusi?). And I've never found a record of her birth, but maybe I haven't looked in all the right places. That Marion would name her first daughter (and her parent's first grandchild) after her husband's mother rather than after her own mother makes me wonder if there may have been some estrangement between Marion and her parents. There certainly was a physical separation as Bella was born in Glasgow. Ah well, that's one of those things we'll never know unless we come across a gem of a family letter. And if there was such an estrangement, it certainly was healed or forgotten when Alex and Mary took the baby Bella into their home. Steffenie
