William McGarvie - Margaret Irene Brydon
My maternal great-grandparents are William McGarvie - Margaret Irene Brydon.We have no information at all about the Brydon family connection.Margaret was born abt 1853 in Nebraska, died age 91, 1944 in Oakland, California.While married to William, lived in Thessalon, Ontario, Canada.William died at age 56, in 1914.Margaret's son, William Davidson, emigrated to the U.S.We think Margaret and her daughters followed.They all stayed in contact while Will (William Davidson) was alive, but family ties were lost over the years since his sisters died.
My 2nd great-grandparents are Thomas McGarvie-Jane Hanna from Ontario, Canada.They were probably both born before 1843, and believed to have emigrated from Ireland.Jane Hanna may have been related to an Episcopalian bishop.
To re-establish family connections, we are looking for information to get in touch with the following people:
Son of Vernon Messer, M.D., ?Ontario, Canada
Judy Spr??ton Cady, ?California
Karen Wienk Berquest, ?Washington
