Hi Ted Welcome to the list. Although Bruce Co., Ont is off my research path I'm always interested in Mull connections. I'd love to know more about the marriage details you have for Mary Jane McDougall & Andrew Hamilton. You may want to give Dudley Baker [email protected] (hopefully the address is still current) a call as he has Mary Jane McDougall b abt 1852 m'd to Andrew Alexander Hamilton. Only thing different is Mary Jane's parents are Allan McDougall & Margaret Munro. I have nothing further on this Dudley or where the information came from sorry. 1881 Census Place: Brant, Bruce South, Ontario, Canada Source: FHL Film 1375911 NAC C-13275 Dist 176 SubDist H Div 2 Page 32 Family 136 Sex Marr Age Origin Birthplace John DOUGLAS M M 47 Scottish Scotland Occ: Farmer Religion: Presbyterian Canada Eliza DOUGLAS F M 46 Scottish Scotland Religion: Presbyterian Canada Thomas DOUGLAS M 29 Scottish USA Occ: Farmer Religion: Presbyterian Canada John J.
