Hi Guys You guys amaze me. Sorry I missed chiming in on this, I missed seeing the new thread. I will be very surprised if the Donald Livingston, Lot 31, Livingstons are not related to my family of Livingstons. I think the key is Colin's wife Catherine. I can't believe a woman could fly under the radar like she is. I thought initially that she may have remarried, but in the deed I found there is no mention of a husband for Catherine and all other spouses for the children were mentioned. If I was considering moving to a new world, I would sent a few family members and wait for reports from them. This would allow them to research a suitable location and prepare for future family members. This is why the John Livingston in lot 53 still bugs me because I think he is related as well. Right at the moment, the key is Catherine research and where did she go after Colin's death and where is she buried. These are questions I am working on, but so far nothing. I did spend the day at the archives on Monday. I picked up the documents I ordered and did some more research. Interestingly the farm that Angus bought in Upton, lot 55, originally belonged to his sister Mary and her family. It looks like her husband John passed away, because he is not in the 1881 census on the property with her and it shows her as a widow. I checked this on the PEI 1880 land atlas. Barry
