rossm here's more "Around 1910 Joseph Milton DOBIE married Rose McDONALD from Bresaylor, daughter of Mary Ann COOK and Philip McDONALD (1833-1914). ** MORE ABOUT PHILIP McDONALD Not long after they were married, Joseph and Rosie moved to Winnipeg (Manitoba) for a brief period. In the 1911 censu...

for RossM here is the connection "On Aug 10, 1914 Philip McDONALD died in North Battleford. Around 1915 daughter Rose married Joseph Milton DOBIE (1875-1868) from Ontario who was living in the little railroad town of Paynton at the time, not far to the northwest of Bresaylor, Rose’s hometown. J...

for RossM You are related to the Johnstones via the Dobie family Don Dobie and Alexander Christie Johnstone ( my father) were first cousins. I believe Don Dobie's father married a Macdonald, a sister of my father's mom ( I think). Don Dobie was my father's best man in 1946 in Toronto. Don moved to C...

Thanks alot. Then the Fanny Thomas buried along side George Johnstone in St Andrews is neither F Thomas daugther of Thomas Thomas as she is buried in the US nor can she be Fanny Thomas, daughter of John Thomas since that woman is buried in Scotland.

My lineage - paternal sons Hugh Johnstone G Johnstone Frederick Charles Johnstone Alexander George Johnstone Alexander Christie Johnstone Alexander George Johnstone [ME] Alexander Chri...

That's the point I was trying to make. "There you can see where Fanny and George both died in Red River; Fanny in 1869, George in 1873. They’re both buried in the Old St Andrews Church Cemetery." The Fanny Thomas buried in St Andrews can NOT be either the daughter of Thomas Thomas or John ...
