John Peace posted Jun 15, 2017: On the page for Francois Mercredi (1832-1900) there is reference to daughter Harriet (Henriette) who married Joseph Hourston, an HBC Post Master from Ireland.
HBC records him as being from Evie, Orkney, and not Ireland, and I can confirm this, as he is in my Family Tree.
For those who may be interested, he was born 25 Sep 1849 at Ploverhall, Evie, Orkney, to parents David Hourston & Mary Harper, also from Evie. Not sure when he died but it was about 1912 in Manitoba. I have his ancestry back to William Hourston from Sandwick, Orkney, c. 1743.
