Hello, Ida: I was interested in the McKinnon Family of Mariposa that you mentioned in your first marriage. I have never been able to learn the names of the parents of the Mary McKinnon, born about 1829 in Argylshire, who married my great-great-grandfather, Donald McCallum, in 1853. Because they were married in Eldon Township, I will send you the information (little as it is) concerning their marriage: From: The Marriage Registers of Upper Canada/Canada West, Volume 10, Colborne District, 1841-1857. Marriages by Rev'd John McMurchy, Eldon (p.38) Donald McCALLUM, of Brock, to Mary McKINNON, of Mariposa. 17 Mar. 1853 >From OPR data, I know that Donald was born in Tiree. Mary's place of birth was given as "Scotland" in census records, and as "Argylshire, Scotland" on their gravestone in the Scotch Cemetery, Brock Twp. Her year of birth is known only by calculation from her age in the census records and on her grave-stone. Any information that might direct me to Mary's McKinnon relatives would be greatly appreciated. My best regards.

I was looking for people marrying in Eldon twp. I'm a firm believer in sharing information when one runs across it. Which may be pertinent to someone else's family or where they should dig a bit deeper. It's up to them to verify it if is theirs family (:-)))) Ida ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
