Surnames: McLellan, McDermit
I find this family in the 1891residing Census in Wellington North. I know that from researching this family there are lot of 'different spellings' and with their Scottish accent the person writing the census information down would have their 'own' version of spelling the name. I believe that Duncan and his wife Jennet are buried in the Mt Forest Cemetery. I'm wondering how many children Duncan and Jennet had. Any information would be greatly appreciated - and anyone researching this family help would also be greatly appreciated.
