The Hargrave Family Tree

G'day all

I have recently been looking the ancestry of a John TANNAHILL, spouse of
Ann HENDERSON (alas no sign of this marriage).

They had the following children that I know of. All born Huntingdon QUE
CAN.

James Alexander 1866-03-12
Elizabeth Anne 1868-01-12
John Robert 1870-12-31
William George 1872-12-16
Robert Edward 1874-12-07
Mary Louisa 1877-04-21
Hugh Allan McGibbon 1879-01-11
Margaret Janet 1880-10-27

They were bapt at either at the Church of Scotland or Presbyterian
Church Huntingdon QUE.

It looks like from the 1851 census (transcripts kindly sent by a
Huntingdon researcher) of the area, John could have been one the
following four (4) :-

(1) John, born Canada, 5 y/o in the census therefore born c1846,
Most likely Son of Hugh TANNAHILL & Margaret MACK.

(2) John, born Scot., 8 y/o in the census therefore born c1843,
Most likely Son of Mathew TANNAHILL & Elizabeth CHAMBERS
(recorded as being born 1844-04-04 in Huntingdon parish records !)

(3) John, born Canada., 6 y/o in the census therefore born c1845,
Most likely Son of John TANNAHILL & Marion COBURN (sic) AKA CALDWELL

(4) John, born Canada, 8 y/o in the census therefore born c1843
Most likely son of William TANNAHILL & Jennet WHITE

Most of the ancestry of the above families is known, it is only a matter
of picking which John.

note:- he might be none of the above, Huntingdon seems to have been a
honeypot to different TANNAHILL families (to the anguish of some
TANNAHILL researchers of the area)

The only John that is in the index of Huntingdon baptisms/births I have
is no2 but the other 3 all have their siblings recorded there.

As I am going over to Salt Lake City, UT, USA shortly I will look into
it further.
