Hi Lois/Pat,
The Isaac Eli WIGGILL you mention below, would he be the s.o. Elijah WIGGILL
and Harriet Francis BENTLEY?
I also have:
Ida Kate MILLER married to Walter John WIGGILL
Thomas MILLER married to Anna Albertina GEBHARDT
James Frank MILLER s.o. Thomas
Walter Douglas MILLER s.o. Thomas
Kingburn Kelsey MILLER married to Isobel Davidson WANLESS
Verna Kelsey MILLER married to Graham George WHITTAL
Then an unidentified MILLER married to Gweeneth GREATHEAD

Hope some of these shake leaves in your tree.

Regards,

Rod
