I was told that Archie was from a place called Marchburn, but had no idea where that may have been, including if it was in Scotland or elsewhere. No other information is available about his family. Archie sadly was killed in 1828, only 8 years after settling in Canada, which is why the information about him is so sparse. Archie had married Jannet McLatchie, a Scots girl, at Perth Ontario, on 26 February, 1822, and spawned a large number of descendants, such myself. I am one of his gr gr granddaughters. I only recently learned that there is a place called Marchburn Port on Islandmagee. Can anyone provide any information which could help me trace Archie's family there? Many thanks if you could advise. I will be visiting in September and can follow up clues at PRONI, etc.
