McQuiston Family 1848 - Bratton Family History

[Kwils]

Mary I Mcquistion (Kelly) married Hugh McQuiston.  Their daughter born May 19 1893, also named Mary.

Mary Anne II McQuistion went on to marry a William Wallace Bratton and had 5 boys and one girl. Once boy passed away at age 1, Wallace Cecil Bratton.  Other sons names were Robert, William, James and Hugh. Daughters name was Christina Mary Anne Bratton (Bratten)

Due to William Wallace Brattons abusiveness, Mary Ann left him and the children and fled.

Mary Ann ended up marrying Oliver Wilson and moving to Vancouver BC and having Charlie Oliver Wilson.

I am wanting to know more about Mary as she is my great grandmother through my grandpa, Charlie.  Does anyone have pictures or stories to share?

Welcome to Rootschat

You have not given any details as to which country/county these people lived in prior to moving to Vancouver.  As you have posted on the Beginners board - no clues there😀

Carole, I think the tree belongs to the OP, Kwils.

Hi Kwils, Welcome to RootsChat.

Are you sure that you have identified the correct family?  Looking at your tree on Ancestry, you seem to have conflicting census records and other family details which don’t look correct. There is no sign of your Mary Ann being with the missionary family in 1901 census. The mother’s maiden name was not Kelly. Have you obtained your Mary’s birth certificate?

There are 2 different Hugh McQuistons from Ayrshire, around at the same time. Both have a wife named Mary. One was a missionary but this is NOT your family. The other was a ploughman, whose wife was Mary Kelly.

There are several other public trees with incorrect records attached, so one probably copied the other.
