I can't find any information on Mary Love, except that she married Donald McLarty in 1833 and was born in 1805. Donald McLarty and Mary Love came to Canada to St. Andrew's East, Quebec (don't know the year but it would be between 1833 & 1843) where my Great Grandfather Dugald was born in 1843.(but more likely to be 1842 because he is in the 1841 Scotland census) However, I don't know if Dugald was the first child? Dugald married Catherine McMartin daughter of Daniel McMartin and Catherine Jackson. (Don't know where Catherine was born but probably in Quebec as well. Dugald was a carpenter. They moved to the Ottawa area in Ontario. Dugald is buried in our family plot at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa. He died in 1926. Catherine is buried there too and died in 1916. Their son James is buried there as well. He died apparently of heart failure at the age of 16. (I also found a picture of James). As their first child was born in 1843, and that would make Mary Love about 38 when she gave birth for the first time and Donald 40, I wonder if this was a 2nd marriage for Donald - or, if there were other children born in Scotland?????? Sharon, I have been trying to find the rest of their offspring. But have come to a dead end. However I did find a picture of Dugald when he was in his 60's. Nancy
