Margaret thank you again.

Dugalds parents were definitely Peter Lyon and Margaret Chalmers.

I thought Dugald's mother's maiden name might just be a mistranscription on his marriage record so just had a look at the original. It definitely says Margaret Campbell.

Margaret thank you again, I have asked for a census lookup to see if there's a Dugald for Margaret Chalmers.

There's this census but it doesn't tell us Margaret's maiden name:

A lot of information already on

But this thread was started 4 hours ago, the other one just an hour ago.

Sorry everyone, I was looking for information in Canada and then I came across a different mmn so I asked for a census lookup to see if it was the same person I was looking for in Canada.

I AM SO SORRY EVERYONE, I DIDN'T REALISE I HAD ANOTHER THREAD ON THIS COUPLE.

I CANNOT APOLOGISE ENOUGH FOR WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME.

Sandra,
I didn't do much on this thread,so it's easy for me to forgive you (mainly because you were so nice and polite).

I guess you got confused,but it really is best to stick to one thread-which I'm certain you realise now!

Happy hunting,
Maureen

Apology accepted, Sandra, we all make mistakes.
Heck, I posted the same census on 2 of your threads without realizing I had already done so.

You're forgiven Sandra. When one thread gets to 3 pages long, it's easy to assume that starting a new thread would be easier. The only thing is that a lot of the findings will just be duplicated by new helpers which is just telling you lots of things you already know.

Anyway, back to your problem. I can't find a marriage for a Peter Lyon to a Margaret Campbell.

Thank you all for forgiving me, I truly am sorry, I think old age is kicking in really fast for me. lol.

alvie, do you think Campbell is a mistake then and it should be Chalmers?

Sandra, I think Campbell must be a mistake on the Ontario marriage record, but, as I said, I looked at the original and that's what it said. There isn't a chance, is there, that Peter remarried a Margaret Cameron?
