mgnv, thank you very much.

Margaret, I haven't got a clue, it could be possible because my whole tree is a nightmare.

Sandra, I think Campbell must be a mistake on the Ontario marriage record, but, as I said, I looked at the original and that's what it said. There isn't a chance, is there, that Peter remarried a Margaret Cameron?

Thank you all for forgiving me, I truly am sorry, I think old age is kicking in really fast for me. lol.

alvie, do you think Campbell is a mistake then and it should be Chalmers?

You're forgiven Sandra. When one thread gets to 3 pages long, it's easy to assume that starting a new thread would be easier. The only thing is that a lot of the findings will just be duplicated by new helpers which is just telling you lots of things you already know.

Anyway, back to your problem. I can't find a marriage for a Peter Lyon to a Margaret Campbell.

Apology accepted, Sandra, we all make mistakes.
Heck, I posted the same census on 2 of your threads without realizing I had already done so.

Sandra,
I didn't do much on this thread,so it's easy for me to forgive you (mainly because you were so nice and polite).

I guess you got confused,but it really is best to stick to one thread-which I'm certain you realise now!

Happy hunting,
Maureen

I AM SO SORRY EVERYONE, I DIDN'T REALISE I HAD ANOTHER THREAD ON THIS COUPLE.

I CANNOT APOLOGISE ENOUGH FOR WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME.

Sorry everyone, I was looking for information in Canada and then I came across a different mmn so I asked for a census lookup to see if it was the same person I was looking for in Canada.

But this thread was started 4 hours ago, the other one just an hour ago.

A lot of information already on

There are these children of Peter Lyon & Margaret Chalmers on Familysearch but their records don't go much beyond 1875/80:

Margaret thank you again, I have asked for a census lookup to see if there's a Dugald for Margaret Chalmers.

I thought Dugald's mother's maiden name might just be a mistranscription on his marriage record so just had a look at the original. It definitely says Margaret Campbell.

Dugalds parents were definitely Peter Lyon and Margaret Chalmers.

Margaret thank you again.

The 1911 census on Automated Genealogy with different spelling:

Ottawa, Ontario
Lyons Dugall M Head M Dec 1883 27
Lyons Annie F Wife M Jul 1892 19
Lyons Peter M Son S Oct 1910 7/12

Original says parents born Scotland, he emigrated 1892?

Maureen and Margaret, thank you so much for your help.

I'm really confused again, I'm going to have to look into this a bit more.
