Hi Bill,
I found a definite match
In the 1901 Saskatchewan Census info Euphemie McDougall Livingstone states that she came to Canada from Scotland in 1881 and her husband Donald Livingston states he came in 1878
In 1901 Census a Duncan Livingston is censused indicating he is Duncan Livingston born April 11, 1869 in scotland and same birth date as the son of Euphemie McDougall's son and like Euphemie McDougall this Duncan Livingston in 1901 a resident of Marquette Swan River, Manitoba Canada states he also came to Canada from Scotland in 1881 as your ancestor's wife Euphemie McDougall Livingson stated from their home in Assinaboea East, Saskatchewan. IF you go back through my previous postings you will find the birth dat April 11, 1869 as the exact birthdate in Croggan Village of a son of your ancestor Duncan Livingston and yes his second wife Euphemie McDougall whom I think you agree came to Canada with your ancestor Donald Livingston.
I realize that 1818 and 1828 confusion is problematic but my approach was to assume there could be a mistake somewhere regarding that and see where that took me. So I now I have I can account for all the six children Donald fathered with Euphemie MacAlpine and Euphemie McDougall back in Kinlochspelvie and show you that most of them ended in Western Canada except for Betsie Livingston born 1858 who died in Kinlochspelvie Parish in 1858. John b. 1863, Alexander born 1865 (your great grandfather), and the youngest Jane born 1875 are you will see in the year 1891 residing with your ancestor Donald Livingston and his second wife Euphemie Mcdougall if you look over the 1891 Canadian Census record of Donald Livingston in Assinaboia East. One son Duncan is not found with the family in the 1891 census data but in the 1901 Census, 1911, 1916 and 1921 Census appears at Swan River, Manitoba and what is a most amazing find regarding this Duncan Livingston living in Manitoba origin in the 1901 Census he states that he was born on April 11, 1869 in Scotland and came from Scotland to Canada in 1881 as does Euphemia McDougall Livingston wife of your ancestor Donald Livingston in the 1901 Census when they are residing in Saskatchewan.Finally found eldest son Neil Livingston born 1861 in the 1901 Census also residing in Assinboia East in the Territories in the Ebenezer District. He was married to a Cecilia Brownlee and had several children. By the 1906 Census he is residing with his family at Yorktown, Saskatchewan where he died apparently in Yorktown Saskatchewan on December 20, 1911. Neil was the eldest son of Donald Livingston and his first wife Euphemia McAlpine which makes him a full blood brother of your ancestor Alexander Livingston. He lived at Yorktown Saskatchewan according to the 1906 census and have found info suggesting he died in Yorktown in 1911 but that is from someones research and not documented like this all this other info I have provided you. But it so far makes sense cause the 1906 census states that Alex's older brother Neil and his family are residing in Yorktown Saskatchewan at this time. The census info does not give an accurate age or birth dates for him but suggests he was born in 1862 or 1861 which is close enough. So these Canadian records can be linked to the family in Croggan Village, Kinlochspelvie despite the issue of 1818 or 1828 I think. All five surviving Children are by 1901 of Donald Livingston formerly of Croggan Village kinlochspelvie, Mull are living in Western Canada 4 in Saskatchewan and one in Manitoba and I have proof of their location in the Canadian Census records.
regards,
Donald
