I'm tracking down a more concrete answer in regards to James and Jane Guthrie. They lived in Halton most of their lives. They had at least 8 children. My research shows all the children were born in Canada but yet I can find no birth certificates anywhere. Specifically I am looking for Rebecca who disappears from the census after 1881. According to the 1900 US census she immigrated at the age of 11 to the US. What really help is some guidance as far as a birth certificate from the Halton area around 1871.
