I am researching Scottish roots of a JAMES BURR b.Nov 1,1819 Fyvie,nr Aberdeen. Came to Canada 1840's (?) with two brothers: (Peter?Robert? & William), and (?)sisters. Originally settled in Fergus & Elora. One brothers daughter married a Mr. Black.
JAMES & WILLIAM moved to Owen Sound.
William m. ? had 2 children William ('Bill') & Jean - neither married.
JAMES Burr married Anne Foote of Fergus 1848.Had these 10 children.
William b.Nov.1,1849 m. Catherine Spence 4 children
Maggie m. George Spies 4 children

James m. Jessie Lamont.......7.."
Ellen Jean m. John McLaren....3.."
John m. Sophie Madden.......3.."

I believe the original immigrants, James & brothers & sisters were of 6 surviving children of a William Burr & Chistian Duguid of Fyvie, Aberdeen. I need to confirm the names and emigration of his brothers and sisters. Any leads appreciated! I have more info on decendants as well if you think you're connected. Inquire here.
