Something is not right. Where is Archibald in 1851? Did the other children all die before 1852?

Not seeing an Archibald?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

A bit of a Riddell. But that's a related family.

I'd better look for the three youngest children.

Possibly 2 separate families

Just thinking, Archibald may have left home by 1861, he would be nearly 20y.

So maybe same family.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Only the three children born in Canada in 1861 census with parents.

Quite curious. Deaths of 4 children between 1851 and 1853.


Elizabeth arrived sometime between 1851 and 1859.

Marriage(s):
James McGavin
m: on 16 Jun 1859 in Wellington Co, Ontario, Canada.
