Only birth I found for any of their offspring on Ancestry.ca

Here something interesting. Duncan McLelland is listed on 1901 census with Catherine and David Brown. His birth date is given as 11 Oct 1877.
There is also a Duncan McLelland born 11 Oct 1878, adopted son with John and Jane McEwen in Brantford West.
Could be the same person? He is living in Brantford in 1912 from his information on US entry and he married there as well.
People sometimes got enumerated twice.

You have probably gotten further along with this search in the past 4 years.

I recently bought a collection of items referenceing David Brown's death, and his spouses.
