It appears as though William may have emigrated in the late 1850's. He may well have accompanied Janet and Isabella to Canada at James's request. William is confirmed to be in Canada by 1864 since his marriage is confirmed in Ontario. He lived at fire number 5955 of Line 81.No buildings remain on the farm
