Looking for the ancestors of James CALDER and Janet McIntosh. We have him born 1 Jan 1787
(not confirmed). He married Janet McIntosh 18 Dec 1807, Nairn, SCT and had 10 children
(most all confirmed as being born in Nairn, SCT)
Isabella b. 17 Jan 1809 (m. James FORSYTHE in Canada)
Janet b. 11 Nov 1810 (m. Duncan MCDONALD 18 Dec 1840 Canada)
William b. 20 Dec 1814 (d. 29 Jul 1834 - bur. Cedar Creek Cemetery, N. Dumfries, Ontario,
CDA)
Catherine b. 26 Jul 1816 (d. 28 Jul 1816, Nairn)
Mary b. 6 Aug 1818 (m. Andrew Mathieson, CDA)
James b. 3 Aug 1820 (d. 10 Aug 1821, Nairn)
Margaret b. 7 Aug 1822
Anne b. 8 Mar 1824 (m. James Williamson, CDA) - of which I am descended
Alexanderena b. 29 Jul 1828 (m. Hugh Clark, CDA)
Jane Calder b. 19 May 1826 (m. John Campbell, CDA)
We believe James immigrated to Canada in the early 1830's. His wife, Janet, died in
Scotland. James CALDER's second wife was Margaret Wylie Guthrie. Her husband had
passed away and she had children with her first husband but we have no record that she and
James had children together (at least none are mentioned in James Will) I have confirmed
that James CALDER had a sister Isabella CALDER living near him in Canada (she is mentioned
in his Will)
We do also list that James Calder's mother's maiden name was LAMB but this too is
not confirmed and I am not sure how we got that information.
I have the family history of James Williamson and Anne Calder which was completed in the
early 1980's.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone on this list?
