My Great Granddad James Albert McWhirter was born in Georgetown, Ontario in 1887. He later moved to Saskatchewan. His father was Thomas McWhirter and mother was Susan Henrietta Carton. His siblings are Edward, Charles William, Emma, Thomas H., Andy, George P., Susan Ettie, Jean Amanda McWhirter. Any info regarding this line will be much appreciated.

I am working on the Traill family history in Waklkerton, Ontario. Annie Traill married Thomas Alexander McWhirter Sep 28, 1904. Is this your WcWhirter?

OOPS I goofed - It is Thomas H not Thomas Alexander. I am working on the Traill family history of Walkerton, ON. Annie Traill married Thomas H McWhirter Sep 28, 1904. They had one son and two daughters. I think that is the Thomas H in your query.
Look forward to your reply.

Yes, this is my McWhirter's. Thomas H. McWhirter was my Great Uncle. I look forward in chatting about this line!
Thanks!

Hello Saskatchewan_military,

Annie (Traill) McWhirter is my great aunt on my father’s side. I found the connection in “Who’s Who in Canada 1922” thru Google Books. It has a picture of Thomas H McWhirter and lots of other info. I also found their marriage record on Ancestry. That is where my info ends on Thomas H and Annie McWhirter. I would love to have a picture of Annie and stories of their life. Do you know their children’s names or any living connection?

Thanks for your reply. A living connection is such a treat! Is there anything about my Traill line that would help you?

All for now ..... Elizham

Thier children were Isabella McWhirter born 1906 in Brandon, Manitoba, Gilleen McWhirter born 1908 in Manitoba, and John McWhirter born 1913 in Saskatchewan.

I don't have any photos of Annie, and I would be very interested in what information you found on Thomas McWhirter in the "Who's Who in Canada 1922" book. I just tried searching for it and can't seem to track down a copy of that book yet. I have some photos of Thomas and his brothers on my Family Tree.

Hi again,
Thank you for the picture of the handsome young Thomas H McWhirter. Thank you also for the info on their children.
Can you provide the date of death and place of burial for Thomas and hopefully Annie? Are there any living descendents of Annie and Thomas I could get in touch with?

Try this web address: http://books.google.com/books?ei=I3rhSc68FaKuzASVvbiuDQ&...
Then click on “Who’s who in Canada – Page 928” It takes a bit of time to load. It will take you right to the entry. If it dosn't work let me know and we can try plan two.

I used Ancestry for two years but ran out of “finds”, so I use it at the libraries now for free. It is a limited version and can not go into family trees the same as when I was a member. I will look for your family tree my next opportunity. I have a Traill family tree on Ancestry. It has Gordon D Traill, Annie (Traill) McWhirter’s father and other’s in it. I have some new info that I will add someday when I rejoin Ancestry.

Thank you again. Look forward to your reply. Happy Easter!

Thomas H McWhirter died 3 Sept 1933 in the township of York, Ontario. He was buried at Prospect Cemetery on the 6 Sept 1933. I don't have a death date for Annie, but on the death certificate it lists him as widowed, so she died bef 1933. He was an insurance agent/broker, as stated on his certificate. The information was filled out by his brother Edward McWhirter.

I do not know if there is a living link to thier children, the son could still be alive, althought it is a long shot. I only found them last month when the Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta 1916 Census data was released.

Thanks for the link, the page was there, but only the top of it with his name. I don't know if there was any more info there or not, but I couldn't get it to open up any further.

Happy Easter to you as well!

Hi Angela,
Thank you for the requested info. I can read the certificate very clearly but it only prints 1/2 the page. I will look for it on Ancestry.

Attached should be the Who's Who entry for Thomas.

If that doesn’t work you are welcome to email me at bbhomeaz@msn.com and I will email it to you.

You have been a bright light in my search. Let's stay in touch on common interests. Happy hunting!

All for now ..... Elizham

Thanks for that page. I don't know why I couldn't get it to come up? Maybe just something with the browser? I will email you that certificate, perhaps you can then print it off in full that way.
I has been a pleasure, I will shoot along any info on the Traills if I find some.
Cheers!
