I'm interested in identifying and learning about as many of the predecessors and descendants of Frederick Lewis LOCKHART, of the Reston/Sinclair District at the turn of the century, as I can. I'm proud to be one of those, and am willing to share family stories.

I'm Martin Lewis Lockhart, called Lew in honour of my grandfather. I'm the father of Frederick Lewis Lockhart (b. 1974), the son of Frederick Lewis Lockhart (b. 1920 and now deceased), the grandson of Lewis Moore Lockhart and the great-grandson of Frederick Lewis Lockhart first mentioned above.

I write with Best Wishes for all!

I'm in search of some info. Anne Margaret HURFORD, my mother in law was Anne M. POLLAND, her mother was Elizabeth FRASER and Samuel Reid POLLAND. They either divorced or he died (he was a soldier in WWI) and lived at Milestone SK., I think I remember. Elizabeth later married Milton MOORE and had sons Phillip, deceased, (wife Mary), and George (was still alive 5 years ago). Can you give me any information on Samuel POLLAND (later spelled POLLIN/POULIN in Weyburn history book. Also, Anne married Harry HURFORD, son of Frank Hurford his mother apparently died when he was about 12 there was no remarriage. Frank, I was told, was a "bull" breeder or had "show bulls" that he took to fairs. I'm trying to find out where they were from and anything to verify if any of this info is accurate. They moved to Alberta in 50's?? Can you find anything?

I'm trying to find descendants of some BEATTIE brothers who emigrated to the Weyburn area from Aberdeen, Scotland around the beginning of the century. They were the sons of Charles BEATTIE, an artist, and his wife Agnes ROSS, and their names were:
Charles John BEATTIE born 11 Aug 1874 died Yellow Grass 18 Jan 1908 and his wife, Helen Leslie FORBES, married Aberdeen 2 Apr 1904
Edwin Newell Burnett BEATTIE born 1 Feb 1877
James Norman Mackenzie BEATTIE born 7 May 1882

Edwin and James were both said to be in "Strossach, Saskatchewan" in their mother's Will, dated 1927, which I take to be Trossachs.

They were half-first cousins of my grandfather, Robert DONALDSON.

If anyone reading this knows any BEATTIEs, perhaps they could ask them if their ancestors came from Aberdeen, and if so put them in touch with me. I have a lot more about their Scottish ancestry to share.

Looking for information on Mrs. Duncan McINNES. Duncan lived in Broadview and worked for the CPR. He probably lived there in the late 1880's to the early 1940's. He may have been the Station Master or have lived in the station master's house. I wonder if Mrs. McINNES - Jennie, Jeanette, or Jane might be buried in the cemetery there and perhaps there would be information on her tombstone, or an old obituary in the newspaper. This death may have occured in the 1930's or 40's. If anyone is in the area and could check the cemetery, I would appreciate knowing the information there.
Thanks for your help!

BURKHOLDER/MCDONALD/SCRIVER
Am looking for information on Ralph BURKHOLDER who was married to Naoma MCDONALD, about 1910. Naoma was from North Dakota. They had 6 kids, before Naoma died 6-12-1917. Two of the kids were adopted by Naoma's father, John McDonald. One of the other four's name was Edward, and he kept the BURKHOLDER last name as did the other unadopted three. The main area of which I am aware the family resided was Ogema, w/o Weyburn. I could sure use any information on Ralph, Naoma or their kids. I am also looking for an obit or news story on James Willis SCRIVER who died in 1909 just outside Weyburn. He was traveling with two of his yound sons, on the train. He went out back for a smoke, and took a header when he slipped on the ice, falling from the train and striking his head resulting in his death. Any help to Mac McDonald, thanks

I would like to contact someone or a genealogy club that could assist me with the history of the Redvers area 1890 - 1910. I am trying to trace down Thomas WILKINSON or LEWTHWAITE families who were in that area at that time.
Thomas Wilkinsons wife Elizabeth died in 1900 at Redvers.
Can you put me touch with someone who could assist.
