Hello Karen I made a connection with my family tree to whom you may be looking for.

Daughter  Jennette McLeod B) November 20, 1844 Little Sands, , Prince Edward Island, Canada
                      D) Death11 May 1929  in Winnipeg, MB

Jennette Married a David McConnell and they had alot of kids one of there daughters married my 3x great grandfather Arthur Clayton. Also  Arthur's sister Emma also married a McLeod a John Mcleod to be exact from Prince Edward Islands Canada.

I have a family book and it also has a bunch of other interesting stuff, I am looking throught old home stead pages and found a few Mcleod's

Township 14 Range 11 ( Manitoba)
SW9 11-01-1882  Mary MacLeod
SW18 11-12-1879 John McLeod

welcome to rootschat MCherney , are those not a lot earlier McLouds than the ones for whom we are looking?

KarieK, no new news on the family, but did you also see the sister's marriage
Marriage Nov 3, 1911 ,Vancouver, BC
Charles Campbell Leith Scott age 23
to Jeannie Sim Shearer age 24 1887 Paisley, Scotland
parents David Shearer & Jeannie Christie

Their children are listed here...that they have names of the living, but we do not post any names of the living on this site. http://www.loadsofpeople.co.uk/f_734.htm#8 You could contact the poster to see if they have a family contact. Her death in 1974 may have mentioned Mary in the obit...or they may know more about her...
A reread sees that you have contact with B.C. realatives, so you likely knew all that... :P

Hi J.J.
Yes, my contact in Vancouver is a direct descendant of Jeanie Sim Shearer.  As you pointed out to MCherney our Donald MacLeod was born in Stornoway and Mary Shearer born also in Scotland so we are going forward from their marriage in 1919.  Some new info has been uncovered, namely that a notation is on the marriage record that this couple was divorced in 1932 so we are trying to find a remarriage of either party.  As to the daughters name of this couple we have no idea what it is.
Karen
Kerr/Lauchlan/Montgomery/Cook-Dalry, Ayrshire
Stewart/Wylie/Small/Jack-Kilwinning, Ayrshire
Davidson/Urquhart/Lindsay-Dreghorn, Ayrshire
Henderson-Kilbirnie, Ayrshire
