A question for my genealogically challenged relatives CAMERON, Angus; Antigonish CO, NS, CAN> Inverness CO, NS CAN Mabou Pioneers Volume I page 256 says: Cameron, "Aonghas Mac Eoghain" ANGUS Cameron was, by paternal descent, the son of Ewan, son of Dougald, son of Ewan of Achintore, son of Lauchlin Cameron of Suinart. His mother was Margaret Gillis, daughter of Donald of Morar and his wife, Catherine MacGillvray of Arisaig, Scotland. There is no mention of an ANGUS son of Ewan (or Hugh) in any of the following references except as shown: RANKIN, Rev. D.J., A History of the County of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, pages 85-86 [Lists Ewan as Hugh. Children of Ewan: Dougald, Christy, Donald, Catherine, Mary, Dougald, John, Hugh (Og).] MACDOUGALL, J.L., History of Inverness County, page 204 [Lists him as 'Angus Cameron (Aonghas Mac Eoghain)'] MACLEAN, Raymond A., History of Antigonish, Volume 1, pages 87-88 and Volume 2, page 91, note 31. [Children of Ewan: Christy, Donald, Catherine, Dougald, John, Hugh Jr., Alexander, Duncan, Jane, Nancy] a Grandson, The Catholic Camerons of Antigonish County, The Casket, June 2, 1910. [This article does not mention any of Ewan's children] Drummer on Foot, The Camerons, The Casket, Volume 61 Number 43, 1913 [Children of Ewan: Christy, Donald, Dougald, Catherine and Mary were born in the old Country. Dougald, John, Hugh, Alexander, Jane, Duncan, Mary and Nancy were born in Antigonish.] The question is, what is the correct list of the children of Ewan and Margaret, and was Angus one of them?

ERSWELL, HARRIS posted by on Wednesday, July 21, 1999

I am trying to trace the history and migration of the family of one of my ancestors, whose surname was Harris. We think the family originated in the Isle Lewis, Scotland and emigrated to Nova Scotia in the early 19th century. We have a marriage certificate of my Great Grandma, Emma Louisa Harris, who married George Harry Erswell (who was born in Britain) in Halifax, NS in 1878. The certificate also reveals that she was born in 1857 in Cape Breton, the daughter of Abraham (a fisherman) and Ann Harris. Since the couple got married in Halifax, it is possible that the family was living there at the time. Emma and George travelled abroad with the British army after marrying before settling in Britain. If any of this rings a bell with anyone let me know!
