Welcome to RootsChat!

I can't find parents for John, but there are trees online together with photographs of the family. You would need to check, but it is possible John married an Elizabeth Campbell who travelled with her Father Duncan to Canada, and is listed on the Canadian Immigrant Record of 1818 when families travelled aboard the Brig "Curlew! to Montreal. She would have been about 8 years old having been born in1810. There were 9 children, and she died in 1858.

Yes I have that record for Elizabeth and she is my Great Great Grandmother who married John Wilkie  1839-06-18 in Walpole Ontario. Have done Ancestry and Living DNA but still nothing on John Wilkie born in Aberdeen Scotland 1812. Have two Scottish records for John Wilkie's parents. Robert Wilkie/Christian Paul and David Wilkie/Anne Brown neither are correct. Also in Walpole down the road from John is Robert Wilkie born in Fife, Scotland about 1799 and died 1867. Both families are in Chalmers Presbyterian Cemetery in Cheapside Haldimand Co. Ontario. Am wondering how they are related?

Hi, welcome to RootsChat.
Can you advise why you think he was born in Aberdeenshire?
Am I correct thinking he is the John Wilkie (Walkie) in the 1851 Census in Haldimand, eldest son James. He gives his age as 41 along with his wife Elizabeth.
If they are following Scottish naming tradition, his father should be James.

Family story? Not sure no real birth documentation which I am trying to find for John Wilkie. All CDN census say Scotland. Good point. On Robert Wilkie's grave stone in Chalmers Cemetery a native of Fifeshire, Scotland. Johns' stone is buried in the soil and no longer readable.

David, I have done Ancestry DNA and LIving DNA. LIving DNA has come back to show I am linked to Aberdeenshire. Thanks for your help.

Roberta,

   Hi, I would not be too fixed on Aberdeenshire, there was quite a lot of movement between Aberdeenshire and Fife in the 1700’s and 1800’s I have several people in my tree who did this, so it could easily be John’s parents who came from Aberdeenshire.

If you look at the death record for Grace Wilkie born at Haldimand County 1846 you see her parents listed as John Wilkie and Elizabeth Campbell (both from Scotland). There are also records for Grace's siblings Agnes, Margaret and Jane.

I don't see a wedding on Scottish SP for that couple. Perhaps they married in Canada.

Yes they married 18 June 1839 in Walpole. Having nothing further back then that. Any additional help with birth parents would be great. Thanks
