    Surname of Person: Lockhart
    Time Period: 19th Century - Lanark County & beyond
    Query

    Seeking descendents of William Lockhart (c1835-1873) and Isabella Armour (1838-1881) through their children; (i) Margaret b. Dunbarton 1861; (ii) Mary b. Dunbarton 1863; (iii) William b. Dunbarton 1864; (iv) Isabella b. Dunbarton 1866; (v) John b. Dunbarton 1867; (vi) Christina b. Govan 1869; (vii) Robert Bryson b. Govan 1871; (viii) Colin Sinclair b. Govan 1872. Following the death of father William in an industrial accident at Mansell & Aitken Ship Yard in 1873 and the death of mother Isabella in 1881 the three youngest children (Christina, Robert & Colin) were “taken into care” by Quarrier Homes and then shipped as British Home Children (BHC) to Canada in 1884. The older children were deemed capable of caring for themselves. Christina last found Montreal, Canada in 1901 census, Robert probably married and may have died in California USA, Colin died 1949 unmarried in Saskatchewan Canada. No trace of the other siblings. Mother Isabella was probably descended from a McAuslane/Smith marriage through John McAuslane (b.c1760) & Isabella Freeland (b.c1791), and William Armour (b.c1810) and Margaret McAuslane (b.1811).
