Re: ALEXANDER BLACK McKENZIE (1828-1873)

Re: DUNCAN CAMPBELL (1810-?)

Hi Gary
Duncan Campbell died July 31, 1884 in Selkirk. He and Nancy lived with Thomas and Eliza Fidler. Nancy was still living with the Fidler's in 1891.
Are you sure the picture is of this Duncan Campbell and wife? Duncan and Nancy would have been in their 60's in 1872.

Re: THOMAS HALCROW (1781-1854)

Hi Beth,
I believe Mary Halcrow's origins were south of the Dakota's, hence the "Southward" in her baptism. I am also impressed with the lack of racism in the Reverend's description of her! I have posted the image it on Ancestry and have also sent it to Gary.

Re: JOHN EDWARD HARRIOTT (1842-1924)

Hi Gary,
Thanks to your Winnipeg Free Press story, I was able to figure out what happened to Grace Irene Harriott (1886). While she serving as an Over-Seas nurse during the First World War, she met and married Gordon Tickell in Derbyshire, England. Beth
