Allan surname in Stirling/Perth/Kincardine/Neilston/Refrew

[wmonks]

Yes, it is a brother to Thomas, and yes most of the family was in Elgin county, East Yarmouth, St. Thomas Ontario.  Thomas and Jane are buried there.  William had already immigrated to the US by that date.  We can't find when they arrived in Canada.  Thank you again for your assistance and any further information.

The problem with Peter Allan and Catherine McBeath is trying to find them on census forms ? providing they were still living ...You most probably have this the death for Margaret Mitchell 12 November 1921 Detroit Wayne Michigan age 91 ( wife of Robert ) has her birth as August 1830 ..
Father Duncan Mitchell mother Christina Leitch

Immigation record for Margaret Mitchell arrival Canada 1831 family members Christina Leitch Duncan Mitchell..children Peter,Catherine ,Sarah ..would this be the right family

I think a look at the original for this would be an idea as I can't think of a place close to the spelling of "Montalk" (not to say it didn't exist)!

I have written a list of place names I know of to try & fathom what it's close to & best I can come up with is Milnathort?

I did wonder if it could be Menteith. I can see poor writing making that seem like Montalk!  Port of Menteith is the neighbouring parish to Kincardine.  I agree that seeing the original is the only way of sorting that one out.
