Hi Max

As you did with Gary Darby, I spotted your name and couldn't resist asking.

Do you know anything of James Sutherland and his wife Agnes Forgie? They were in
Ramsay township until 1871, then Renfrew 1n 1881 and Arnprior in 1891.

They had a number of children and I can find nothng on them after the 1871 census.
John 1841, Margaret 1844, Jane 1845, Agnes 1847, Mary 1848, Isabella 1850, Gilbert
1851, William 1852, Ellen 1853, Jessie Ann 1857, Elizabeth 1857, and James 1860.
[Emily 1872 (daughter or granddaughter?) was the only child with James and Agnes in
Arnprior].

That's an awful lot of people to go missing. Some of them must be somewhere.
