Hi, this is my first posting with your group.
I am trying to find any kind of info on my ancestor James Carter b. 1825, married to Sarah
Mackay b. 1826.
He was probably born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia but I'm not sure. His name is listed
in the 1881 Canadian census, but not in 1871 or 1861 census. In the 1881 census, he
declares to be a farmer, catholic and of dutch origin.
I am starting to think that he was possibly born in New England and came to Canada later
on or possibly from elsewhere in eastern Canada.
Any info or ideas for further research would be really appreciated.
Don Carter, Montreal, Canada
