There's a tree on Ancestry by Andrew Leitch which shows Robert Weir and Catherine Graham and their birth dates/place/marriage/deaths. They were born in Fermanagh, Ireland & married there on 12 March 1818. By about 1822, they had immigrated to Ontario, Canada, settling on Con. 11 Lot 24 Otonabee Tp., Peterborough County. They had 4 sons & 3 daughters:

Robert & Catherine's son, James Weir, born in Otonabee Tp., Peterborough County, abt 1836, married Letitia Jane Mitchell on Feb 23 1860. James died and Letitia Jane remarried on 26 Sep 1867 to Charles Lowes. Charles Lowes and Letitia Jane were on the 1871 Census with both Lowes children and Weir children in their household. Their family was on the 1891 Census for Manitoba, Marquette, Cyprus North so that is how the Weirs got there. Letitia Jane died there 18 Sep 1895 & Charles Lowes remarried. So: Robert Weir had James Weir who had John Graham Weir in 1864 & John married Hannah McLeod in Manitoba in N. Cypress in 1887.
