You should put all the information you already have in the original post, it saves us wasting our time duplicating information.



There is a marriage record in Welland Ontario (12 January 1912) for a Kate Smith who was born in Ayr and aged 21 years  (to George Jessie McNeil) -  giving parents as Hugh Smith and Helen Wilkinson - could this be a daughter of Hugh Irvine Smith (born 16 March 1856 Culross Perth) and Helen who show on the 1891 Scotland Census. Have you traced a marriage for Hugh and Helen or found them on census after 1891  ?

I think one of our members, Falkyrn, might have some specialist info on these sources. Maybe you could PM him, drawing his attention to this thread.
