Hi mullardoch

Where have you looked already, so we don't repeat your efforts.

By maine island, B.C., are you referring to Vancouver Island?

Thanks,
Frances

Hi Carol, Thank-you, I have a copy of original, but the christian names you have give for family are great! I was reading 2of the names as Ewan and Cirsty. The spell MacFarline ?does it appear as such on your source ? regards Hugh. P.S : We are going up to Isle of Ske on the 19th of Sept. so hopefully info will help,thank,s again.

Good morning!

The spelling on anything that comes from Ancestry.com are transcriptions and therefore subject to question! The only way to check would be to view the original census on ScotlandsPeople.

On the later census records, the spelling was MacFarlane and Certhy was Christy. Earvin became Ewen. Also, I may have found the family in 1841 and on that census the surname was MacFarlin!

Good hunting,

Carol

Hugh,

Saanichton is a town on the Saanich Peninsula, British Columbia. Mayne Island and Galiano Island are near Vancover Island. You can Google for information on all three.

Do you have any other information on the Hugh MacFarlane who went to British Columbia? Who were his parents? Was he married? When did he go to Canada?

There are so many Hugh MacFarlanes out there that any more clues you may have would help!

Carol

Hi again,

Here's a link for the Saanich Archives. It has a photo collection which is searchable and has a few MacFarlanes though not a Hugh. The archives also has area records, oral history and family histories.

If you are looking for information on Hugh's life in Saanich or his obituary, these might be the people to contact.
