Hi Wendy,
William and Margaret (Addison) Findlay immigrated to Canada from Cullen, Banffshire, Scotland in 1867.
Their daughter Elizabeth MacBeth Findlay was my gggrandmother.  Elizabeth (Betsy) had one brother John and perhaps a sister??  That's the extent of my knowledge on this family - would love to know more.  Information I have is taken from Margaret's headstone here in Canada, and Betsy's marriage record.  Betsy was born Oct. 2/1855, d: 1910

Hi Patsy,

At this stage I don't know if there is a connection with our 'Findlays' but will look for yours as I go along.

Happy researching,

Wendy  :)
