Munro Ancestry - Ontario Canada

[Danlou96]

My ancestors immigrated from Scotland to Canada.

I have traced records to Branford,Ontario,Canada.

Margaret Campbell Munro (born 1825 Scotland - died 1913 in Brantford, Ontario).

Can anyone tell me if her husband Charles Munro also went to Canada. He was born circa 1830 in Elgin,Morayshire,Scotland. I can't find a death record in Scotland so Im wondering if he went to Canada also.

I know their son William Munro immigrated. He was born in 1855 in Scotland and died 1935 in Brantford. I assume they went to Canada during the 1890s.
Any assistance about Charles would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is this William at this link to the 1891 Canada Census (near bottom of second page)? If so, he has 2 children b. Ontario, the first Katie w/h/b b. about 1886. This would give an immigration year between about 1883 and 1885-6, judging by the birth of son Charles in Scotland.

Hi again.

I didn't notice that the heading was missing from the link above. The record was from Library and Archives Canada and available for free.

In the 1911 census for this family, available for free from automatedgenealogy.com, both William and his mother indicate they came to Canada in 1883.

I haven't found a death for Charles in the available Ontario records. Have you looked at scotlandspeople for a death there? There are numerous hints on the RootsChat Scotland board about how to search the website and narrow down choices prior to spending credits to view records and thus keep the cost down.

I have not been able find any of the family on a ship to this point. It's always possible that they came in through the USA.

Added: it is also possible that the ship records are not on line or that they did not survive.

Did Margaret Munro have a daughter Hughina Campbell Munro married to Peter Barnett

[Danlou96]

Yes, that information is correct.

My Grandfather was Charles Granville Barnett, son of Peter and Hughina Barnett, Grandson of Charles and Margaret Munro. My grandfather immigrated to Manitoba Canada in 1911. It would be so interesting to share any information with you and find out your connection to this family.donnawagner202@hotmail.com
