My 2nd G-Grandparents were Violet Jane CARMICHAEL (b. abt 1864 in the Sarnia Toronto area
of Ontario) who married Thomas BAMFORD (1861-1941) in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
on 17 Oct 1882.
Violet and Thomas BAMFORD had 7 children: Edith, Ralph, Harold, Alan, Thomas, William
& Griffith.
Violet had a brother William Neil CARMICHAEL (b. 1870 in Toronto, Ontario - d.1957)who
married Bessie Fitzsimmons JENNINGS (b. abt 1873 from Pugwash, Nova Scotia) on the 10th of
January 1900 in Victoria, BC at the residence of the bride's parents on Quadra Street.
William died in Saanich, BC and was buried in Ross Bay Cemetery, Victoria, BC, Canada.
I do not know if William and Bessie had children, would love to get in contact with that
branch for details.
Violet and William's parents were Neil CARMICHAEL (b. abt 1819 @ Kilcalon Mull,
Argyleshire, Scotland; d. 24 Jul 1896 @ St. Joseph's Hospital, Victoria, BC and was
also buried in Ross Bay Cemetary) and Susannah HOWATT / HOWITT (b. abt.1830 in Gravesend,
Kent, England; d.1909 in Whonnock, BC and also buried in Ross Bay Cemetary). Neil and
Susannah were wed in Toronto, Ontario on 8 Oct 1861.
Sometime before the Victoria census of 1881 (in which they can be found) Neil, Susannah
and their children moved from Ontario to BC.

I just found this marriage information yesterday and it is exciting for me as it states
Neil's parents names as Archibald and Violet (MORRISON) of Argyle, Scotland.

children of Archibald and Violet from Kilcalmonell & Kilbury, Argyll, Scotland.
