Subject: Hugh Cameron (abt 1793 – 10 JUL 1875)
Message Body:
I am trying to do genealogy on my family and I have traced my Cameron relatives back to your town of Ramara, Ontario. I’m stuck on my 3rd Great Grandfather, Hugh Cameron (abt 1793 – 10 July 1875) born in Scotland. Hugh Cameron shows up on the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census’ as living in Mara & Rama. I found a burial document that shows he was buried in Beaverton, Durham, Ontario in Union Cemetery. (can’t find this cemetery anywhere) Even if I do find the cemetery, I’m not sure if it will provide his full date of birth or specific birth place, but that is my goal.
Hugh Cameron married Catherine Thomson on June 23, 1823 in Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland, and had four children (Daniel, Catherine, Alexander and John). At some point between 1845 and 1851 his family traveled to Mara & Rama, Ontario, Canada where Hugh lived and passed away on July 10, 1875.
I believe that Hugh had a brother Angus who also lived in Mara & Rama. I have strong evidence that they were descendants of Sir Ewen Cameron, a prominent Cameron Chieftan in the 1600’s. Any additional information you know of would be extremely helpful.

Subject: Search for Grandfather
Message Body:
My grandfather was born in May 1870 in Carden-Dalton township. The first record I can find of him is in the 1871 census where he is shown to be living with Donald and Margaret McDonald and their family – the name on the census is Martin McFadyn. Apparently he was born of a single mother and by the 1881 census had been adopted by the McDonalds and was known as Martin McDonald.
Would you be able to help me track down his birth parents? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Searching Sarah McDonald
“Seeking relatives of SARAH McDonald 1853-1923 -She is the granddaughter of Alexander Blacksmith McDonald of North Mara. Her mother is Mary, daughter of Alex Blacksmith – Mary McDonald b 1833, m Donald Tailor McD in 1854. (a separate McDonald family)
-On this website I searched all family names & found a Steele family tree that seems to match mine. Ann Steele was the mother of Donald Tailor McDonald (1818-1898) who is Sarah’s father. The submitter of the Steele chart is Trisha Bazilewich. On p 580 in They Came From Mara, the man called ‘Donald Tailor’ married Mary, daughter of Alex Blacksmith. In 1 of the historical clippings it seemed they thought he was a son, not so. He was married to the daughter. Sarah was also the cousin to the boat Captain on Lake Simcoe, A. B. McDonald.
SARAH McDonald was my great grandmother. -Lisa Mackenzie, Edmonton

Duncan T Lambe
I am the step-daughter of Duncan T. Lambe who lived in and around the Brechin area and whose family are buried somewhere in the Brechin/Udney area. I am particularly interested in locating the burial place of his sister Irene Martin and his parents Joseph Lamb(e) who died in 1940 and Mary Lamb(e) who die at a young age somewhere around 1911. They all lived in the area and are buried close by. I have been unsuccessful in locating them both in the Udney United Church cemetery and The Fairvalley cemetery and all other protestant cemeteries in the area. I even thought perhaps the M. Dack farm but if that were the case they have all been moved elsewhere according to the genealogy sites that I have visited. I have been up in the area many times searching for some trace of them to no avail. I know that they are there somewhere because Duncan spoke of them when we lived in Brechin in the 1950’s and he mentioned they were somewhere near Udney. I was too young to pay attention to what he told us.
Any information that you can provide to me with regards to their whereabouts would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps you would know a government agency that would handle vital statistics in that area.
Thank you
Sincerely.

1911 in Saint Andrews and Saint James Cemetery Orillia, Simcoe

MARGARET (Maggie) MCGREGOR CAMPBELL AND MR CAMPBELL
by isabel » Wed Jun 18, 2014 9:44 pm
I have been unsuccessful in identifying “Mr. Campbell”.
I would love to know when and where the Campbells were married, where they lived after their marriage, whether they had children, etc.
The photo in the book was courtesy of Mary Wither who contributed quite a number of the photos in the book. I wonder whether there might there be any way of determining who contributed the McGregor information.
I would be most grateful for any assistance.
