Judy: In all of your posting, I did not see any reference to the death
certificates (if any) of the parents of John McCrae. His marriage
record notes both parents deceased. If you are lucky, they died post
1855 and "lottery-level luck" would give you a death in 1855. At
least, you could fill in some blanks as to location; at best, you
could get a listing of all children. Or, you could just get some more
questions. <VBG>
You have been too focused. Widen your horizons a bit. Scots Origins
will smile on you. Good hunting.
