Title: Samuel McMaster 1810
Post by: kelsey1754 on Tuesday 03 March 15 18:02 GMT (UK)

Hi everyone,

I'm new here, I joined because I'm trying to find information on Samuel McMaster. I have that he was born March 31, 1810 in Barony, Lanarkshire to James McMaster and Jean Young. I can't find any other information on him there.
He married a Margaret McDonald and had children in Nova Scotia, Canada, then he married my 5xgrandmother Catherine Henderson, and had Duncan and Samuel McMaster.

If anyone has any information at all about Samuel that would be wonderful, or of James McMaster and Jean (Jane) Young.

Thanks!

Hi Kelsey

Have you tried searching for any of Samuel's siblings, either in Scotland or in Nova Scotia?

James 1808 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X1W6-78Q
John 1811 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X1W6-68N
Robert 1813 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X1WX-GLG
Jean 1817 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X1SC-49R

Marriage entry or banns from the Parish Registers in 1807 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTTJ-QHH

How have you been able to confirm your Samuel's details to these parents?

Monica  :)

Thanks Monica! I have searched with his siblings and I can't find any more on their parents or find out where they went. I'm on ancestry.ca and anyone who has them in their tree, also seems to end with the parents names. I don't know if a name if wrong or a date, I'm desperate to find out where Samuel came from and why he left Scotland!
