NOTES & QUERIES:
In 1871 their eldest child Martha Ann was five years old indicating that her parents married in 1865 or 1866.
In 1871 a 27 year old Angus McLEAN, born Nova Scotia, brickmaker, was living two doors away, possibly Rachel's brother.
Information from Maer Maid:
I was searching through pages for something, and found your Rootsweb pages on the above couple. You have a notation that there is a 27 year old Angus McLEAN living two doors down from William and Rachel, who may be Rachel's brother. He is. Anguggus is my second great grandfather. Rachel's siblings: Catherine (married Angus McCALLUM of Kincardine), Murdoch (married Mary Kester SHEWFELT of Kincardine; moved to Manitoba), Angus (married Sarah Ann BATTEN in Kincardine, died 1874; Sarah then married James BEATON), Christine (married Adam MILLAR in Kincardine), John, and William.
On the 1871 census page where William and Rachel are listed you will see Martha MERRY who is William's mother. She married her next-door neighbour, William WICKHAM. Richard, William's son, was witness to Murdoch and Mary Kester's marriage. A litttle further down you will see the LEWIS family. It was the Emily of that family who William married after Rachel died. William had bad luck with wives... William and Rachel had one more child - possibly the twin of Mary. Margaret is in the death schedules for the 1871 census as having died in August at age 1. She died of whooping cough. It's possible that Rachael died from this illness, as she died before Jan 1872 (When William married Emily). The family was baptist, so records are few and far between. Rachel's parents were Archibald and Mary.
