Wow! Tell (*)  thank you very much.   (I have a lovely photo of the triplets as babies.)

   My dad passed away in 1995 and I am working on trying to fit the pieces together of his family.

I will take your suggestion and try family search as a starter. 

Thanks much.
M.

Hi Chris:   Thanks for the info.....I am trying to join the dots..  Barbara had a large family and I have only heard of them through stories my father would tell.  Was it one of Margot's sisters who had triplets?    I remember my dad telling me that they were born in maple ridge.

(*) , William Maxwell's daughter.  ( His sister was Barbara).  I live in Vancouver.   My father was very fond of his nephew Jimmie.

Jimmie shaw.....Osoyoos?    Was his mother Barbara?    My parents took me to visit Jimmie when I was young.   I remember Auntie Barbara.  We often visited her in Penticton.

Thanks so much Chris......I will check as well.   I know he spent time in Arkansas working In the mines and also went to Australia to work in the mines there.  I only met him a few times so it is interesting to find out more about him.

Hi: I just happened to find this site when researching my grandfather. 

 My grandfather was George Niven Maxwell......born in Torpichen in 1874.  He immigrated to the U.S  (I do not know what year) and in 1909 his wife Isabella (Sharpe) Maxwell and daughter Barbara left Scotland and joined him. (Ship's name was "California" ).  In 1910 they left the U.S. and came to Canada to settle in Merritt B.C.  Four more children were born in Merritt...William, James, Douglas and Jessie.

I am trying to find the year that George left Scotland and immigrated to the U.S.  would you happen to have this info?
