Hello everyone. I am interested in any families married into the following.
My 4th great, James Calder, died in Ayr, Ontario in 1869. There were no
surviving males that carried the line.
I think I now have this family correct but am waiting on some OPR's. James
Calder married Catherine McCurich in Nairn, Scotland in 1752. They had the
following children:
Isobel Calder 1754
Margaret Calder 1756 m. James TULLOCH 1780 Nairn
William Calder 1758 m. Isobel LAMB
James Calder 1760
John Calder 1763
John Calder 1765 m. Margaret BAIN 1785 Nairn
I am descended from William CALDER & Isobel LAMB.
Their son, James Calder, m. Janet MACKINTOSH 1807 Nairn. Janet died about
1829 in Scotland and James, along with a few of his children emigrated to
North Dumfries, Ontario in the year 1832. The other girls emigrated later
after they were married in Scotland. They settled in either North Dumfries
or Oneida, Ontario. The only other information that I have for James CALDER
is that his sister Isabella, emigrated with them and lived all of her life
with Anne Calder and James Williamson listed below.
Their children, all christened in Nairn:
Isabel b. 1809 m. John FORSYTH of Duffus, Moray, SCT and settled in Oneida,
Haldimand, Ontario.
Janet b. 1810 m. Duncan Ellis MCDONALD of Cawdor in 1840 settled in Oneida,
Haldimand, Ontario.
William b. 1814, d. 1834 from the Cholera Epedemic in Galt, Ontario
Catherine b. 1816, would love to find out what happened to her. She is
mentioned in James Calder's Will so I know she was around somewhere.
Mary b. 1818 m. Andrew MATHIESON and settled in North Dumfries, Waterloo,
Ontario
James b. 1820 died in infancy.
Anne b. 1824 m. James WILLIAMSON and settled first in Oneida abt. 1842 and
then in North Dumfries after James Calder passed away in 1869. This is my
direct line and I do have all information on this branch.
Jane b. 1826 m. John CAMPBELL that is all I have for her. She too is
mentioned in his Will.
Alexandrina Gordon Mackintosh b. 1828 m. Hugh CLARK in Scotland, settled in
Oneida Twp., Haldimand.
Does anyone out there have a connection?
