Hello
I am hoping that someone in Canada or Florida may be able to help me in
trying to trace the descendents of Andrew Cameron, born 25 September
1864 in Stonehouse Lanark. In the 1881 Census for 8 Janefield Place,
Leith, Midlothian he was still living at home with his parents and his
occupation is given as apprentice bricklayer. He is no longer with his
family by 1891 when he would have been 26 so may have been married. He
had a daughter called Lizzie while still in Edinburgh, probably about
1900, as Lizzie seems to have been a contemporary of my father born
1900. Some time after that he emigrated to Canada. My parents visited
him in Toronto in 1956 and in her trip book my mother noted that he was
then 93. She also mentioned that Lizzie now known as Mary and her
husband Frank SMITH were also there as well as: a Jim and Olive whom she
did not identify,
Lizzie=92s daughter Helen and three children,
Sheila her younger daughter,
Andrew her son with his son Andrew,
Jane and Clive Cameron and their son Robert.
If anyone out there knows of this family and can give me some recent
details I would be so happy as none of my efforts so far have had any
success. I believe that Lizzie and her husband retired to Florida but I
don=92t know whether her father still was alive at that stage. I do hope
one of them is interested in their family and perhaps is on line.
