Title: James Miller and Julia McMillan Marriage (Toronto)
Post by: milto1384 on Sunday 17 March 24 21:13 GMT (UK)
Hi folks,

I'm trying to find some information on Canadian relative of mine. The information I have so far is:

James Miller married Julia Maria Margaret McMillan on 9th July 1880 (Toronto).

James' parents as shown on the marriage certificate are John and Isabel Miller.
Julia's parents are shown as Robert and Anna McMillan.


I was hoping to find out any more information on these people and we know some relative form this line originated from Scotland so it would be great to find out that link too.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!


Alan
