Good Day; I am looking for information about my Great-grandfather, Hugh Andrew Munroe, born 28 May 1861 and died 6 Feb 1922, in Portuguese Cove, Nova Scotia. Married to Charlotte Munroe who died in Cambridge, Mass. at age 102. She was born in Portuguese Cove and they had 13 children together, Francis, Muriel, Georgina, Kitty, Ann, Adelaide, Olive, Frank, Hugh, Margaret, John, William and 1 more William as the first died in childbirth and Hector who died as a young child. Hugh Andrew Munroe was buried at Camp Hill Cementery but his grave I cannot find. I think it is gone. Hugh Andrew Munroe's parents were William and Margaret Munroe and William's fathter was Hugh mòr Munro (mòr is gaelic for big) and he first settled in Truro, Nova Scotia from the Highlands in 1760. Does anybody know if my family is descended from Hector Munro of Foulis Castle? |

My name is Gwen Gilbert my dad was Gordon Munroe from Amherst Nova Scotia he married Doris McCann from New Glasgow Nova Scotia and they also had a son David. When I was young my mom moved to St.Catharines Ontario. I have never met my father or his family. For some reason they separated and stayed that until he died in December 1963. My mom never talks about my dad or his family. I have many questions. What was my dad like, does someone have pictures of him, why did they separated and I really don’t know if I was born in St. Catharines or in Amherst. My mom remarried and my step dad adopted me and my brother and I don’t have my original birth certificate. Any information is greatly appreciated. |

I've known since childhood that my grandmother (Nellie Mary
(Twerdun) Swereda) had a son by a man who wasn't her husband. Dad
was born on December 23, 1941. I'm not sure if my dad was told who
he is or not; my Uncle Stan recently told me that his mom should
have told him who his father was, that he deserved to know the
truth. My Uncle John had written an essay about his earlier years
for a school project, and he shared it with me before he died. He
stated that my dad's father's name was Frank Monroe. |

My g grandmother was Annie Munroe/Munro. She was from Maxville
/ Martintown Ontario. She Married John Malcolm McLennan. I
recently did my Ancestry DNA and trying to connect more dots. What
was interesting was that I connected to ancestors that were in
Nova Scotia in the 1750's. Was there a large presence of Munro's
in Nova Scotia there at that time? I'm trying to figure out which
family line would've been in NS. |

Hello I am looking for relatives of my Grampa who was born 23
Feb 1889 in Inverness. My Grampa came to Canada after WW1 with my
Gram (Florence Georgina Taylor) and they were married in Winnipeg
MB. I know his brother Bill came also and was married to an Alice
(no kids) and maybe an Uncle Donald? My Dad (John Edward Munro,
born 24 October 1921) talked about his Uncles in Winnipeg. I
believe Donald had no children also. My Dad never ever talked of
his Dad’s family and Grampa died in 1949 after the WW2. His
lungs were so bad after the war. I was not born until 1957 so have
no info of him only pictures. |

Hello- I'm looking for any information regarding my 2x grand-parents. I've been on ancestry.com but the trail ends and I’m wondering if the names and initials I have are actually even correct. I've found conflicting birth records for John G. Munroe, one for 1856 and another 1861. My great-grandfather was Robert Irving Munro 11/27/1897 born in Union Center, NS, and had a brother William, I believe. Robert (Irving) married Bessie Aileen Langille, and lived in Pictou county, NS. I don't have access to Canadian ancestry.com records, but with the months of digging up records, none seem to add up. Are there any relatives of William Munro- perhaps I can try that route to find the 2x greats. Thanks. Jennifer Munro. |

I am researching my wife's family. Her great, great, great grandfather, David Phillips, married Ann Munro in 1861. He was born in Upper Canada about 1836. His mother, Catherine Phillips, lived with him in Grass Lake. I think his father was Richard Phillips who married Catherine in 1827. They lived in Mount Pleasant and later they moved to Ancaster. Richard Phillips died in 1845. Richard was married to somebody else before Catherine. He lived in LeRoy, New York before moving to Canada. I have found one paper that says he forced with Butler's Rangers. According to this account, he was captured and sent to jail in Connecticut. Do you know some person who could help me research this further? Ron Hausmann |

We are interested in contacting the descendants of General Sir
William Munro, CB, 39th Regiment, soldier and botanist, 1818-1880,
who botanised in India, among other places, including Canada.
While botanising In India he discovered a rose species called Rosa
involucrata in Mysore State in Southern India. This rose species
which is now called Rosa clinophylla, is a rose we are hybridising
with and have released a number of Hybrids with the International
Rose Registration Authority. We have many seedlings that we are
testing before release, and we would like to name one in memory of
General William Munro. We would be delighted to get in touch
with any of his descendants to inform them of our desire to name a
rose in memory of their ancestor. We hope you will be able
to put us in contact with members of his family. Thanking

Hello to all Munros. Please can any of you help me find where my Gt. Uncle's family are? His name was William Duke Munro, b.1872, Jan., in Dundee, Scotland.. He died in 1944 and is buried in Mount Royal Cemetery, Montreal. His wife's name was Vincent (unusual for female) Dawson Munro also born in Dundee, Scotland. She died in 1957 and is also buried at Mount Royal Cemetery. I cannot find any of their family after the 1911 Census and because they were (mostly) female, I cannot trace any marriages. The family's names were Annie, b.Feb.1896..Jessie, b.Oct.1899..Maggie, b.Jan.1901..and Chrissie, b.April,1904. They were born in Dundee, Scotland. A further two children were William, b.Mar.1907 and Mabel, b.Jan.1908., were born in Quebec. A later one, Alice, died in infancy in 1912. The last known address I have for the family is Maronier (Marmier) Avenue, Montreal, Quebec. They arrived there in 1905. A sister-in-law of William Duke Munro arrived in Montreal in 1920 to live with them. Her name was Margaret (Stewart) Munro, wife of William Duke's twin, Robert, who died in 1914/15 war. She had with her, her daughter, Jeannie Hume Munro, age about 12/14yrs, and a son, Donald, age about 7/8yrs. Another wee snippet about William Duke Munro was that he was a member of ''The Buffalos''.? I don't know what this is. A club of some sort? He also worked for C.P.E. as Manager. Hopefully, someone might recognise these names (finger's crossed) Sue (Munro) Daniels. |

I'm looking for the parents of James Henry Monroe. I've been
pointed to John Munro and Janet Peterson/Paterson, both born
around 1799, but I don't think their birth dates would put them as
parents at 47 years old. Is there anyone out there related to
James Henry, father of my great grandfather, Philip Eaton Monroe,
who could help me? |

I was wondering if you can help. I am looking to trace my
cousins, Donald and James Munro. The only information that I have
is: Donald and James Munro are twins born to William Munro and
'Ella' Munro. William Munro is orginially from Milngavie, Scotland
and served in the Highland Light Infantry during the World War II.
They immigrated to Ontario, I don't have dates, but I believe that
their sons were born there around the mid 1950's, perhaps 1956.
The last known address was St Catharines, Ontario. |

Inveraray area. Many made their way to Canada and Australia from
1800 onwards. |

I'm looking for any information regarding my Great, Great Grandmother Christina Munro. I only know that she was born in 1863 and her place of birth as listed on the 1901,1911 census is Inverness, Ross-shire. Between 1863 & 1892 she ended up living in Liverpool. I have very little information to relate to, I don't know her mother's name, only that her father is listed on her marriage certificate as Hector Munro ( Deceased at the time of her marriage in 1892 ). I realise this is like a needle in a haystack, any information gratefully appreciated. |

I know my family history since we have been in the States, as
we have basically have remained in the same area for over 100
years. Where I lose track of us is in Canada, and according to my

records indicate that in 1844 in Addison, Ontario, James Wiltse
Monroe was born, he is the last of my family born in Canada.
Chittenden Taplin Monroe, born 1811, in Addison, is the earliest
record of my relatives I have born in Canada in believe. So this
is my first attempt at reaching out for help. If any of you all
have any information or ideas for me, please contact me

Hi my name is Kathy. I am looking for information on my
great-Aunt's husband Charlie Munroe. Here is what I know. Uncle
Charlie was from Canada maybe near Toronto possibly Brantford. He
came to Detroit and worked in a tool and die shop. He met my Great
Aunt, Shirley Lillian Wheelock. They dated for thirty years before
getting married. He died a couple of years later on Feb 22 or 23
1950 in Grosse Pointe MI. while shoveling snow. He was born about
1886 in Canada. Shirley and Charlie eloped to Bowling Green, Ohio
about 1948. Charlie loved to camp and golf. He was a favourite in
our family. Everyone loved Charlie but the 30 year courtship is a
mystery. I wonder if he had another family in Ontario? If you can
shed some light on this please let me know. |

Hi, my name is Richard Wm. Michie Sr., my paternal grand mother was Jeane Michie, nee Dingwall, born in Fodderty, 13 June,1887, and to my knowledge, the land called Dingwall was granted to her ancestors by Mary, Queen of Scots. I am trying to find any information possible about that. I also understand, my family line, on her side, goes back into the 1300s. I do have information on some names and places, but dates only go back to about 1831, when her father was born (in Lemlair, a farm on Foulis estate). Her mother was Janette McLennan. Her Parents were married at Kiltearn, Waterloo Inn, free church, 28 May,1858. So far, that's as far back as I've gotten. Grand mother married James Michie, in Sharon,Connecticut,(date unknown). They met there after emigrating from Scotland, and I don't know when they emigrated. As far as I know, they did not know each other prior to then. My grandfather was born in Banff,in1885, no further info as yet. I will need to contact Clan Forbes ! For info on Grandfather. Any one having any information on the Dingwall Sept, I would like to hear from you. |

Mr. Higgins - I am interested in letting you know what happened to the "New Orleans McCloskeys" since Mr. Seamus Hasson wrote about us in 1981 (Issue #11 Benbradagh). He made a scant mention of the "Algiers McCloskeys" that branch of which I am a member. Algiers is a part of New Orleans, but, separated by the Mississippi River. New Orleans proper is on the East bank of the Mississippi and Algiers is located on the West bank. We all hail from Dungiven and Derry and are ancestors to the O'Cahans. And, yes, we are related to Hugh McCloskey, buried at the cemetery of St. Patrick's Church, Dungiven. Would like to hear from you and "The Winding Roe".

Greetings from Belfast. I am a member of a small group of writers who issue a magazine each year at Dungiven Co. Derry on the Roe valley, called The Winding Roe. We are aware that there is ongoing research on the origins of the Munros clan and the Roe Valley Co. Derry is mentioned. We have a small website at www.benbradagh.com which may interest you as about the Roe valley. We have also some images of the area on the website and we change these from time to time. Enjoy. Best wishes to you all.= M.A. Higgins Belfast P.S. Just last week I visited the Storehouse on the Cromarty Firth and on a video presentation I heard mention of the Roe valley and the O'Cathan (O'Kane link). This is indeed the land of the O'Cathans or as the name is Anglicised to O'Kane as now. |

Taken from my gt grandmother's diary: "My grandmother,
Margaret, was the daughter of a Captain Richards and her only
brother, Samuel Richards was also in the Royal Navy, but died
comparatively young. Margaret's mother was the daughter of Sir
Hector Munro of Novar in Rosshire, but marrying against her
father's consent, he had nothing more to do with her. The title is
now extinct, the estate in my time was owned by a Mrs.
Butler-Johnstone and has now passed into the hands of Mr. Munro
Fergusson, M.P. who married Lady Helen Marjoribanks, sister of the
present Lord Tweedsmouth (1899)" I can only guess that Sir
Hector Munro (1726-1805) may have been this man. He was buried at
Kensal Green in 1805,after dying unexpectedly, ...but from all
I've read, this man never married so she would have been an
illegitimate and probably never registered! One more thing to add
to this puzzle is...the signatures on Margaret's marriage
certificate are : Captain John Richards and B.J. Richards!! Her
name wouldn't have been Butler-Johnstone Munro, would it?? |

We are delighted to again be able to correspond via Website with our Canadian "cousins." We are still looking for further connections to our Munro ancestors who came to America before the French & Indian War (1755-63)and ended up as Canadian citizens after the "War Of The Rebellion" (1775-83) We are very anxious to contact any descendents of Capt. Hon John Munro, KRR-NY, who settled in Upper Canada, Dundas Co., Matilda Twp. There are descendants of 7 of his 8 children somewhere in Canada & USA:((1)Christiana m. Dr Philip Mount- Montreal; (2)Hugh Munro m. Angelique Leroux LaRocque - L'Assumption; (3)Cornelius m. Frances DeLisle - Cornwall; (4)Dr. Henry m. Josephete Serindac - St Denis & Montreal; (5)John Jr. m. Kathryn Rosenbarger - Matilda & Williamsburg;(6) Charlotte m Marq. MEGA deLotbiniere - Vaudeuriel & Montreal; (7)William Johnson m. Sarah Sherar -Paspebiac, Gaspe', Quebec & Caraquett, New Brunswick - Henry's G-G-G-Grandfather. All of the above are also connected to the NorthWest Fur Co. and some to Hudson Bay Co. We also are eager to renew old ties - or find new relatives of Munro cousins as descendants of (Judge) Hugh Munro of Bathurst, NBr; Hugh Munro of Edwardsburg, Grenville Co, Ontario; Rev. Harry (Henry) Munro of NY Province, Albany, Schenectady - with descendants of (3rd) wife Eve Jay, and also dau Betsy who m. Donald Fisher - to Canada in 1778. We maintain files on other Munros also - and have some ties to Scotland. |

Greetings ! And a hearty WELCOME TO A REVITALIZED CLAN MUNRO CANADA ! As President Elect of Clan Munro Association USA Inc I bring an enthusiastic group of researchers in all phases Clan Munro. Our newest project is a DNA matching group that is establishing a new parameter in "linking" Munro lines together. The more Munro surname participants we have, the likely are possible "matches" between individuals showing a common line of descent. We also maintain on computer a 40,000+ and "growing" individual name genealogy databank from Munro Association Members. For additional information contact: Mbardin@ghg.net or Margaret Bardin, 4071 Young Street, Pasadena, TX 77504.

I am searching for any Canadian Munros who believe they may be related to General Sir Hector Munro of Novar. In 1874 money was being raised in Canada and the USA in order to send a lawyer by the name of Irwin Bridgeman to Scotland to file a claim on the estate. The effort would have proven futile as the estate had already passed incontestably to a heir. Robert Munro of Barochan Row Huston, Scotland had James born 1771, John born 1756, Robert born ? and William born 1764. Robert Munro died in Flanders, New Jersey on 1 July, 1804. It is believed that sons Jon and Robert fled to "Upper Canada shortly after the Revolutionary War. There is a possibility that James eventually joined them. I am descended from James. |
