Hi,
1. The Angus McInnis who married Martha Coventry in 1891 : On their marriage record it states that Angus McInnis was born in Erin Township, Grey, Ontario. Also on the marriage record it stated that his parents were an Angus and Christian McInnis.
2. The Mary Ann McInnis who married Neil McLaughlin in 1885: On their marriage record it states that Mary Ann McInnis was born in Glenelg, Grey, Ontario. On her marriage record it stated that her parents were a Donald McInnis and Christina McLellan.
3. I have both of them with a Donald McInnis and Christy McInnis in 1871. In 1881, Donald had died and they were with Christina McInnis. These two are brother/sister. They all were living in a Glenelg, Grey, Ontario.
4. They both had a half-brother, John McInnis, but I am not sure who his mother was. He was about 7 years older. . Mary Ann married Neil McLaughlin and they moved to Calgary, Alberta. In the 1906 census in Alberta, a John McGinnis was living with the family as a boarder. I believe this was Mary Ann’s half-brother. No real proof yet, just a feeling.
5. Descendants from Mary Ann (her daughter, Mary Minnie Dixon, calls her grandparents (Mary Ann’s parents) Angus McInnis and wife; we have a picture with them with Angus, Mary Ann and John. This is where the confusion is: why does she call her grandfather, Angus, when he is a Donald? I was trying to find out if Angus is one of those names that is used as middle names and could be a Donald Angus McInnis.
6. I have now decided that my Angus is not the one who married Martha Coventry. People who have Trees on Ancestry have him living in Euphrasia, Grey, Ontario, in 1871, which my Angus was not; he was with his parents in Glenelg.
7. So Angus and Mary Ann McInnis, siblings, had the same parents: Donald and Christina McInnis. I have not yet found who Angus married. On my list. When I do find it, hopefully it will list his parents as Donald and Christina. No birth record yet. On my list.
8. Yes, I do need to find other records.

Thanks for writing. Any other information appreciated.

Joni
