"showing William's marriage to Julie C. and Charlotte Matheson (did he
divorce her?). In this Census, he is married to Jennet Matheson. Is
she one and the same using a nickname, or did he marry a younger sister
Jennet? Charlotte lived till 1910."

Hi Christine, Here's what I have for William McKay and his wife's. I don't have a
third wife, but have quite a number of Jane Matheson's, no Jennet Matheson. I got
some of this info from wft maker file quite some time ago, I connect this this line
indirectly through John Pritchard who was my 5th GGrandfather. I descend from his
first wife, while his second wife was
Catherine McGillivary McLean and their children married into the Matheson families
who were among the early Red River Settlers from Scotland. In addition to get info
from wft I also received info from most of the people on Metisgen who are connected
in some way or another to this line. I've also included the line Charlotte
Matheson descends from, should find lots of these people in that census.

I would be interested in what there is for Anderson, James, ;here's my line to him.
