Hello Rosemary,

Thank you for the look-ups. This information is most certainly the correct family.

Myles McDonald was the son of Hugh Austin McDonald b. 1791, d. November 28, 1880, and Mary McMillan b. February 14, 1812, d. November 15 1884. The couple resided on Lot 37 of the 7th Concession of Lancaster Twp., Glengarry Co., Ontario and attended St. Raphaels RC Church in Charlottenburgh Twp., Glengarry Co., Ontario. Myles was born April 07, 1847 on Lot 37 and was baptised at St. Raphaels. Myles moved out west and settled in Portage la Prairie on NE 31,10, 5. He can be found In the Manitoba Telephone Directory starting in 1919. His phone number was 743, and residence 44 Fourteenth NW, Portage la Prairie, MB.

Again thank you for the information

Hello James

I am related to Myles McDonald's wife Mary Matilda Henderson. Mary was the sister of my great grandmother. I appreciate the information on Myles and I have more on the Hendersons if you wish?

Hi Michael

I am the great grandaughter of Maria Henderson, eldest daughter of Peter Henderson and wife Eleanor Whitford. We have corresponded before about some obits you found in the Wpg Free Press, re this family. I never received an answer from you about them? Do you still have that info? Is there anything else you want to know about this family which I can help you with?

Barb:

Do you have any chance to have a picture of Eleanor Whitford?? Do you have access to the Manitoba Free Press?? You can go online to the Manitoba Vital Statics site and get the death dates and do the look up's yourself, or if you don't I could mail a copy of them. As far as how I am connected. I am on the other side, James Whitford whom married Mary Spence.

I think I do have a picture of Eleanor and Peter. I have not had any conformation that they are the couple in the picture, but my guess is that it is them. You would like a copy?

Hi Barb:

How about a trade. I give you the obits and I can get a copy of the pics. Is it true that Maria married Alexander Sanderson?? I think that there was a Sanderson that died here in Vancouver. I believe it was a son of William Sanderson and Maria Poterious(SP).
