  • Notes 
    • Notes:
      In 1861 Archibald was still married to Catherine (also called Christian on the censuses) and their last child was born abt 1869. But she and at least 1 child (b around in 1861) did not make the move to Canada. In 1870, Archibald comes to Canada with 9 children. One of those children (William, the youngest) does not appear on the 1871 census.

      In 1871, Archibald has a new wife, Augustina. Augustina either leaves or dies because, in 1891, Archibald has a new wife, Annie. It is unknown when they were married. She is 20 years younger and comes from the US. And there is a whole new family, as listed above. Not sure which wife was the mother of each of these children.

      No 1881 census found at this point.

      1891 Canada Census: Archibald Sherrif, 60, b in Scotland, living with wife Annie41 and children: Elizabeth14, Annie8, Henry5, Maud2. Location: Lanark North, Ontario, Canada.

      1901 Canada Census: Arhicbald Sherriff, 73, b in Scotland, living with wife Annie51 and children: Annie18, Harry15, Maud12, Agnes9. Location: Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada.
