Since my Camerons pretty much settled in the Toronto/Vaughan area, I'm going to assume that this would also be the area for the Heggies.  I don't have any information on the photography studio that took the Heggie pictures, but other pictures in the album were taken at studios in the Toronto area.

Would you be able to post those pictures?

They sound like they might be on my tree after all. I may recognize if I could see them.

Never mind - I just realized I could post my copy and see if it matches. Much easier.

Is this the Mrs. Heggie you have?

If so, her husband was John Heggie, born Glasgow Gorbals 1847. He moved to Canada and died in Toronto in 1933. He and his wife were deaf and dumb.

Yes that is the picture of Mrs Heggie I have.  Are you able to confirm that her name is Flora Agnes Reid?

Yes that is correct.

My scans of the photos are from the Vaughan Archives. In the Cameron fonds at the archives there is a photo of her son, John Reid Heggie, as well. Also ones of the couple's younger children, Jessie Cameron and Andrew.

That is where I got the photo of Mrs Heggie.  There is a photo of Mr Heggie on a chair.  But I didn't know about the children Jessie and Andrew.  Would you be able to share those with me?  I can share my email address with you in a private message.

Here is the "Mr Heggie" picture I have.  Is this Flora's husband or one of her sons?  I had to save it as a pdf to be able to attach it.

Yes, that is her husband. I can send the other photos privately if you like.
