A Scottish (Fife) Immigrant was Anne Nairn she married John Cuthbert (m 1860). Buried in Cartwright Cemetery, Durham County. One daughter Agnes m. James Gordon a number of children.
Anne's youngest brother David Nairn b.1835, Kettle Fife. He married Elizabeth Jackson and had a family of about 12. Son John's headstone in Goldboro, Manitoba gives David and Elizabeth's deaths in 1898 and 1897 - I think in Ontario but haven't found a record.
Anyone know what happened to children Agnes 1865, David 1868, Robert 1870, William 1876, Margaret 1878, Charlotte 1880. They appear in 1891 Canada Census but not 1901 - perhaps most emmigrated to USA?
Sisters Isabella & Annie and brothers John, Michael James, Albert Walter, Percy Jackson & Orwell Alvan are in 1901 Census, having moved to Manitoba.

Good luck AdmiraltyCat in your search.
Just to clarify a couple of your comments -
children Agnes 1865, David 1868, Robert 1870, William 1876, Margaret 1878, Charlotte 1880.
Children of whom?
They appear in 1891 Canada Census - Where?
Sisters Isabella & Annie and brothers John, Michael James, Albert Walter, Percy Jackson & Orwell Alvan - I assume Annie and David?
1901 Census, having moved to Manitoba. - 1901 Census in Manitoba or before they moved?
I am researching the Nairn family of Fife. The family unit that i have an interest in has a footprint in the following places - Ardbroath - Angus, Cupar, Abbottshall, Auchtamuchty, Kircaldy, Minimail, Portmoak, Moonzie, Auchtaderran. Some of these places are very near to Kettle [Kingskettle].
Cheers

Many Thanks Sandra,
You have clearly done a lot of research. It always is so wonderful to know what happened to people.
I am a descendant of Margaret Nairn (1824 - 1863) who married Thomas Haxton. They died in Scotland. Margaret is an older sister of David Nairn.

Your very welcome. Hope it all helps.
