Hi Les

Thanks for the info on Edouard.  The other 8 I have are:
Maria 1821, Leontine 1824, Jeanne 1825, Gustave 1826, Caroline 1826, Melanie 1830 (all born St Roche, Paris) and Victor 1837 Hamilton.

I only found the census information on Victor being in Jail in 1871, nothing else.  Sounds like a very sad time for the family.  I can't imagine the thoughts going through Victor's head at the time.

How do I get online access to the Hamilton newspapers?   I don't live anywhere near a large town, so it's very difficult to find large libraries............. or I could email a cousin in Scotland who works in Hamilton, I'm sure she could point me in the right direction.

Do you have lots of information on the Robertsons (Helen & Agnes' parents) branch?  I have a little bit if you're interested, but the McGathan side was difficult (the usual problem with Scottish rellies, the name kept changing!).

Cheers
Kate

Hi Lilygirl & Les

So I'm only related to Lily by marriage, but Les and I are umpty cousins?  I'm guessing that Lily is in Oz and Les is in Scotland (I was born in Scotland, now live in NSW).

I'll be sure to change all my "LeBlond" records to "Le Blond" - must get these things correct!

One snippet you may find interesting.  I looked for the Le Blond family on census records, on the 1871 Hamilton census I found Jessie (Norris) at home with Douglas, John & James... where was Victor?  He was in Hamilton Jail! 

John Le Blond & Helen Robertson had eleven children that I know of, I have marriages for seven of them.  Who are you descended from Les?

Is there anywhere here I can safely leave an email address that won't be picked up by junk-mail pests?


Cheers
Kate

Hi

I have Victor LeBlond & Marie Melanie Galland in my family tree.  They had seven children that I know of, the oldest six born in Paris, the youngest - Victor - born 1837 in Hamilton Lanarkshire.

Victor married Jessie Norris in Belfast; Jessie was born in India about 1837, her father John was a ship-owner.

Victor & Jessie had eight children that I know of, the two oldest - Douglas b1857 & John b1861- were born in Nova Scotia, the other six born in Hamilton, Jacques, Victor, Jessie, Marie, George & Jessie (yes, two Jessies, the first one died).

My two great-aunts - Agnes & Helen Robertson, married Douglas & John LeBlond.

Any LeBlond relatives?

Kate
