Know he was in the 72nd Regiment Seaforth Highlanders. Immigrated to New Brunswick, Canada abt 1882 to Fredericton area. Married Annie Susan Shanks abt 1882-1883? Any connections out there? I can't find any record back in Scotland. I was told he had a sister, Janet, who also immigrated to NB. Thank you!
