  • Nova Scotia Look Up

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a relative by marriage:
    William Etridge McLennan, born Jul 1861 in Margaree, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

    Parents (an educated guess): John McLennan (b Scotland) and Catherine McLeod (b NS)

    Siblings: Charles (1855)
    Mary Catherine (1856)
    Margaret (1859)
    All in Nova Scotia

    I'd like to find birth or baptismal record for him and his sibs, and his parents' marriage record. Anyone have access to records or databases with the information?

    Also, it appears that Catherine remarried in 1868, to Thomas Lane, and was living in Ontario. So, information about the death of John McLennan would also be useful

    In the US census, William reported his first language was Gaelic.

    There is some information here regarding birth, marriage & death registrations in Nova Scotia.


    If I'm reading it correctly it seems that there was no civil registration of births & marriages & deaths in the period you need. I haven't looked at the links given though.

      Their home page states birth records start in 1864.

      I've wondered if these folks might have the info:

      but I hate paying for a membership when I'm not even sure if the records I want will be in there.
