Bettye,
I ran across one reference concerning the middle name of John W. Chisholm. The death certificate of William Walker Chisholm, son of John W., states that his father was John Walker Chisholm and his mother was Ann E. Marks. Hope this helps
W.L.

This is great! I just know this is my family. I also found the family on the 1871 Canadian Census showing a woman named Nancy Mcdonald, age 88 & born in Scotland living with Roderick,( age 52, head of house) & Mary (age 44, wife) along with 10 other children. Catherine is not listed but I assume she has married. The remaining children are: Janet, Margaret, Mary, William, Nancy, John, Elizabeth, Colin, Duncan & Ellen. I am guessing that Nancy is Roderick's mother and my gggg grandmother, and that Nancy's husband's name could be William. I'm basing that on the fact that Roderick's eldest son is named William and traditionally the first born male was named after the paternal grandfather. I've been searching ship manifests but can't find when Nancy immigrated to N.S, if her husband's name really was William or whether she had other children. Since Roderick was born in N.S. in 1819 it must have been fairly early. I also don't know which branch of Chisholms Mary/Ellen de!
scends from. ( I suspect the same area tho). You have been right on the money. I was so confused because the records I'd located variously listed the name of the area in which they were living as: Pomquet, Black river, Black avon, Heatherton, St. Andrews, & Glassburn. Your information and input really cleared that up for me and pointed me in the right direction. Can't thank you enough but again, THANKS, Mike

Marriage
Feb 3, 1867 - Pomquet
Donald Chisholm - age 28, born Black River (Black Avon) son of William & Mary Chisholm
Janet MacDonald - age 21, Daughter of Rod & Ellen MacDonald, birth location is blank, usually means same location as spouse
Catherine MacDonald - born Sep 15, 1845 - Roderick MacDonald & Helen Chisholm - god parents - Alex MacDonald & Isabel MacDonald
Elizabeth's god parents were Colin MacDonald & Mary Grant
William's god parents were Donald Chisholm & Mary MacDonald
My guess is the family was from the Black Avon (River) area
