Duncan MacDonald 1871 Bentinck Ontario
Does anyone recognize this family? A friend gave me this info from the 1871 Ontario Census. I am hoping that this is my ggrandfather's family.
John age 56 b. 1815
Mary age 49 b. 1822
Their children:
Flora age 28 b. 1843
John age 23 b. 1848
Catherine age 15 b. 1856
Hugh age 12 b. 1859
Duncan age 10 b. 1861
Mary age 10 b. 1861
Catherine age 5 b. 1866
Ranald ??
The two Catharine's was explained to me as maybe the first one had died and another child was named the same. I guess that was a common practice.
Duncan Niel MacDonald would be my ggrandfather. He came to Northern Michigan about 1881, and worked in a lumber camp where he met my ggrandmother Mary Leta Finn. They were married in 1885 and I know the first of their children was born in Canada. Thanks for any help in advance.
