Surnames: McDonald, McGilvray, McDonell
Alexander (b 1817) was the son of Donald and Flora McDonald. He married Nancy McGilvray in St. Polycarpe in 1853. They had four children that I know of, Archibald, Daniel, Isabelle and John. The family moved to Glen Nevis or Lancaster in the1870's. Isabelle died at about 20 years old and Archibald married Catherine McGillis, and both died in their forties, leaving teenage children.
John moved to Montreal and worked as a streetcar motorman and married Janet McDonell who was also from Lancaster. Daniel did likewise, marrying Margaret Urquhart. John is my ggrandfather.
I am stuck! I can't seem to find any connections to this family, nor can I find anything before St-Polycarpe. Do any of these folks sound familiar? I would be grateful for any leads. Thanks!
