    Funeral Card of James Calder

    Rsrch. Note:
    Catharine Calder b. 1816 Nairn, Nairn, SCT to James Calder and Janet Mackintosh.......also Jane born to the same couple in 1826, Nairn.

    Their parents were married in Nairn, Nairn, SCT in 1807. They had a total of 9 documented children but have not listed James as he died in infancy in Scotland:

    1. Isabel Calder, b. 1809, m. James Forsyth, settled in Oneida, Haldimand (immigrated in 1849) 2. Janet Calder, b. 1810 m. Duncan McDonald, settled in Oneida, Haldimand (immigrated abt. 1852) 3. William Calder, b. 1814, perished in the Cholera epedimic in 1834, buried Cedar Creek Cemetery. 4. Catharine Calder b. 1814 - need to fill in the blanks 5. Mary Calder b. 1818 m. Andrew G. Mathison, buried Cedar Creek Cemetery. 6. Anne Calder b. 1824, m. James Williamson, first settled in Oneida and then removed themselves to North Dumfries shortly after James Calder's death in 1869 (my direct line). 7. Jane Calder b. 1826 married a Campbell? - need to fill in the blanks. I may have found her in the 1881 census for Haldimand, a widow but am not certain this is she. 8. Alexandrina Calder b. 1828 m. Hugh Clark first settled in Haldimand, at one point in North Dumfries and have traced two or three children to this area. I think two are buried at Mount View Cemetery in Cambridge (Galt). This family immigrated prior to the 1851 for Oneida, Haldimand.

    James Calder agreed to settle on Lot 33 Conc 9 in 1826 with William Dickson (I think it was William....do not have my notes in front of me). I believe that Janet Mackintosh died in Scotland although was unable to locate her burial site during my trip to Nairn. I have found no evidence of her in Canada.

    James Calder settled in Dumfries in Dec of 1832. Three of the girls stayed behind in Scotland that I know of.......Isabella, Janet and Alexandrina. They joined the James Williamson's in Oneida in the late 1840's, early 1850's.

    James Calder next married Margaret Wyllie Guthrie in 1841 Dumfries (sister to Ayr's first postmaster, Robert Wyllie). She and her first husband, David Guthrie, were from Ayrshire, SCT. David suffocated when a well he was digging on his farm caved in on him. James had the farm next door and imagine this is how he met Margaret.

    James Calder was a tailor by trade and it is my understanding that Margaret was as well. Although his last farm was located on Lot 36, Conc. 9, he continued his tailoring business in Ayr and died at his Stanley Street residence in Ayr in 1869.

    Although this is rather longwinded........wanted to give a background on the family. I have all of the information on the descendents of this family except for Catherine and Jane Calder.

    The family tree states that Jane married a John Campbell and went North to work on the railroad. I find (through circumstantial evidence) that this Jane might have been married to a William Campbell but he was a school teacher....pretty far fetched from the railroad :).

    I know that these two ladies were alive in 1869 when James Calder passed as they are mentioned in his Will. I have looked at the probated copy and there are no clues to be found there.1
