That is the possibility I was talking about. Regardless of whether she married after Ann was born, I did find an Elizabeth Render born in 1797 in Husthwaite to a Thomas and Mary Render. I also found an Elizabeth Render born in 1796 in Coxwold to a Thomas and Ann (Coats) Render. Both of them are in the right area and put her at the right age to have Ann.

Yes that is correct. They came to New York in 1853, just two years after the census was taken. They then moved to Ontario. William Little was born 18 Jun 1820 in Stonegrave to John and Eleanor (Wilson) Little. As for Elizabeth, I am researching as to whether she married after she bore Ann for financial support perhaps (I’m assuming Ann was her only child, given she was illegitimate). I did find an Elizabeth Render marrying a Benjamin Parkinson on 19 Mar 1836 in Husthwaite. I don’t know if Elizabeth did marry after she bore Ann, but it’s just a speculation.

Yes, here’s a link copy of my tree on Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/pt/RSVP.aspx?dat=MTE2NzUzOTY4OzswNTIxYmQ1Ni0wMDA2LTAwMDAtMDAwMC0wMDAwMDAwMDAwMDA7MjAyMDA5MjkxMzEzNTM7MQ==&mac=+WjttQrExhsS+BOTiQ7UCg==

The witnesses were a David Haw and a William Taylor. I remember seeing a note on the parish transcription that said William Taylor may have been a parish official.

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Ann Render (William Little)
« on: Tuesday 29 September 20 19:13 BST (UK)  »
Hello all. I was hoping I could get some assistance researching my 3x great-grandmother, Ann Render of Husthwaite. She was baptized 27 Nov 1825 as the illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth Render. I’m trying to track down Elizabeth (assuming I have no chance of finding Ann’s father). If possible, I’d also appreciate any help with William Little’s family (although they aren’t as much of a mystery to me). On a side note, William and Ann were married 16 Jan 1848 in Husthwaite. I know they came to Ontario and the only thing I’m missing in Canada is their death records. My main goal is to trace Ann’s lineage but anything helps, thank you!

Thank you so much for the family chart visual. I come from Donald and Mary McMartin, whose sons were Duncan and John ( they are represented in the chart ). I haven’t been able to trace back Donald or Mary’s lineages with certainty, have you?

Hi again! One issue I have found is that as I’m conducting research, it seems like I keep running into two different McMartin families around the same time in Ontario. The one I hail from are the McMartin’s of Huron, Ontario. The ones I keep getting confused with are the McMartin’s from Glengarry, Ontario. This might be possible if both McMartin surnames come from Killin, and I’m just getting messed up between the different lines? Or they are two different families who happen to share the same surname. I’m still wondering, however, if this Margaret McVean who I’ve seen in a marriage record to a Donald McMartin is in fact Duncan’s mother’s real maiden name, or if there were multiple Donald and Duncan McMartins in the same village. It’s quite confusing because in my lineage, they have alternated between Donald and Duncan for at least 4 generations. Any help is greatly appreciated  :)

I’m looking for help researching the Little family. Annie Little (married to Duncan McMartin) was born in Ontario in 1866 to John and Elizabeth Little (Marshall). John was born in Cootehill in 1824 (or 1826). Elizabeth was born in Ballybay in 1830. While it seems very likely that John and Elizabeth are Annie’s parents, I have no documentation. If they are correct, I’d like to go back farther into their families. I have more info on John’s family, but Elizabeth is hard to find. Thanks for any help.

Yeah I could totally see that being true. I had also found Donald and Mary’s marriage record in Killin on 22 Mar 1789. It said that Donald was of Weem and that Mary was of Kenmore (right across the Loch Tay). I also saw a record of marriage to a Donald McMartin and Margaret McVean on 4 Aug 1793 in Killin. I am leaning more toward the first one because Duncan’s birth didn’t mention McVean. I also wanted to find Donald’s birth in Ontario to Duncan and Agnes to confirm them as his parents before I dove too far into the Scottish records, but I can’t find his birth in Ontario.
