Hello all, I haven't been posting in the last few weeks as my grandmother (ggg granddaughter of Angus) died 2 days before her 95th birthday. It was a wonderful service and over 400 people attended at our very small parish church. I have some photographs of the Livingston gravestones at St James chur...

Jewel, That would be the child listed on the clan birth records page under "not noted" then. I was hoping that the name that belonged there would tie in to the sons of Angus that we know settled in Big Bras d'Or. If Roderick was born in Scotland you'd think it might be easy to find as it s...

Greg, I have been very interested in tracing the Walker line but haven't had much luck since my grandfather died when my father was 8. I have only back a few generations to a Neil Walker (Sr.) who married a Jane MacPhee that was born somewhere in Argyll. They lived in Alder Point (my hometown) and P...

That would be the same John that settled in Low Point?

Yes thanks Roberta and Donald! I am so glad I came to find this forum. It's a shame the Walkers can't contribute to the DNA project as two great granddaughters of Old Angus married Walkers and two very big families came from them. Roberta's find in Penmore is spot on. I was hoping to shed a little l...

Donald, Yes St James Cemetery is where they are buried, and no I do not live in Cape Breton anymore. I'm in Halifax. And to recap on the first post, I am a descendant of Angus through Alexander. The William Dawson baptism that Jewel has there is our sea captain that was an officer on board the Macka...

No they didn't relocate far because my grandmother grew up in Boularderie on Livingstone land. Her father (Charles Devoe) remarried after Margaret died but he fathered no other children other than my grandmother. The house they lived in still stands although is unrecognizable now. Attached is the pi...

Thanks Jewel. Big Bras d'Or is only about a 20 minute drive from my parent's house in Cape Breton but any thing you have I would love to look at. One thing I was looking for was that date of death for my great grandmother, Margaret Alice Livingston. I know she died young as her husband remarried. I ...

Donald, After a little digging in the NS archives of land grants that Ann Capstick had sourced, I've found that you were correct that the Ashman site is wrong to connect the families. Two records refer to my great (x4) grandfather Angus Livingstone: 1820 Livingstone, Angus Petition to Ainslie: Petit...

Thanks for the advice, And I wonder if I know the lady who contacted you and maybe she is a close relative. How I came to know of the Bras d'Or Livingstons is mostly by coincidence. When I was still in junior high school, a friend of mine mentioned the ruined foundation of a house known only as the ...
