I am looking for information on John CALDER, b. 1801 in Scotland--possibly on the island
of Lewis--not confirmed. IGI shows an Alex Calder, b. abt. 1771, Bathgate, West Lothian,
Scotland; who married Janet Paterson. They are listed as having Janet, Christening August
27, 1797, and John, christened March 29, 1801.
There's a very good possibility that this is the correct one, but I am not sure.
However, John and Margaret did name their first female child Janet.
On January 28, 1825, John Calder married Margaret McLeod in Creich, Sutherland, Scotland.
They had 6 children in Scotland; namely, Janet, Jessie, James, George, Christine and Ann.
It is believed they moved to Ontario, Canada, in 1832.
Does anyone have any further information on John CALDER, i.e. who his parents were and was
he, in fact, from Lewis or West Lothian and where is West Lothian in connection with
Creich?
Thanks
Valeria Greenwood
