    59 Eliza went to New England with her mother's aunt Elizabeth Flett who married Col. Tyng. She was adopted by Col. and Mrs. Tyng, who were childless, and Eliza became their heir.

    This means, I think, that her grandfather John Flett had a sister Elizabeth Flett. 
    Heddle, Elizabeth "Eliza" (I3938)
     
    60 Elizabeth Flett of Bruthay Moodie, Henrietta (I27)
     
    61 Emma was James' second daughter, according to the Traills of Orkney book. Harvey, Emma (I266)
     
    62 Enlisted in AIF June 1918.Stated trade as chemist,next of kin Jessie Walker Traill,address Macleay St Darlinghurst. Two years service in Boer War. This is supported by Andrew James, who says Pa ( William Harold) told him about watching Magnus leave on a trooop ship. Was medically discharged from AIF with a heart condition .

    Although his father's death record gives different ages for Edwin Magnus and his twin brother William Harold, this must have been a mistake as the family always refered to them as twins. (Source: Anne Eager) 
    Traill, Edwin Magnus (I3012)
     
    63 Family notes say that she came to Canada when she was 13 years old. According to the 1911 census, she immigrated to Canada in 1888 but perhaps that is a typo? Beare, Elizabeth (I115)
     
    64 At least one living or private individual is linked to this note - Details withheld. Living (I508)

    Traill, Frederick (I395)
     
    66 From "Caithness Family History": According to Douglas he married Helen Innes, and was succeeded by a son, James, who married Isobel Brodie, but it is proved by a deed registered at Edinburgh in 1539-40, that he was twice married at least, his first wife being Helen or Elen Innes, and his second wife being Isabel Brody or Brodie, and he was succeeded by his son, Alexander. Dunbar, James of Auldcash, Conzie, Kilcalmkill, and Kilboyach (I654)
     
    67 From Brian Crabb: "Constance Lillian Arnott was in the East African Military Nursing Service when she died. She was also Gold medallist of the Cape Medical Council Examinations in 1923 and was Sister-in-Charge of Salisbury Native Hospital in 1931." Arnott, Constance Lillian (I3606)
     
    68 From Hamish Johnston: Note that the modern addition underneath contains some errors - in the spelling of DGJ's first two names, and in the birth date of Matilda. I am not responsible! Source (S378)
     
    69 From Judy Heddle on 1 Dec 2007:
    Aunt June died quite peacefully in her sleep last night, in her own bed at home. Over the last few months, she had developed dementia, and unfortunately she experienced a lot of anxiety in these last few months. I knew this was true because of my own conversations with her. It is rare, but they never discovered the primary source of the cancer. Her care was managed by a palliative care team from Mt Sinai.

    70 George and Ida were twins. Strickland, George (I695)

    74 Graduated 1935 with a degree in Sociology from University of Wisconsin - see the source info for her head shot from the yearbook.

    Seems to have worked for the university for a number of years following graduation. 
    Mackechnie, Mary Frances (I4148)
     
    75 Graduated from Harvard in 1769. Hilliard, Rev. Timothy (I3949)
     
    76 Hard to read first name - looks like Jus or Iris, but last name is definitely Pfeil. Pfeil, Joseph S. (I185)
     
    77 Harry died of colon cancer. Holdsworth, Harry Archibald (I151)
     
    78 Harry's birthday is recorded as Sept 23 1879 on his death record, but I decided to accept the 24th as written on his birth record.

    Harry's mother is given as Hannah McTaggart on his death record, but I think his son Fred (who reported it) must have gotten his grandmothers backwards. 
    Holdsworth, Harry Archibald (I151)
     
    79 He became Sir James Dunbar of Hempriggs, and became a baronet. [Complete Baronetcy] Sutherland, Sir James (I584)

    From his page at the Hamilton Gallery of Distinction:
    http://www.myhamilton.ca/myHamilton/LibraryServices/GalleryofDistinction.htm?pagetype=show&id=207

    Hugh Cossart Baker, Jr.
    Hugh Cossart Baker Jr., educated in Galt, enlisted in the 13th Battalion Volunteer militia Infantry and carried the colours against the Fenians at the battle of Ridgeway on 1 June 1866. He was instrumental in forming the Hamilton Street Railway Company, the Hamilton Real Estate Association, and the Canada Fire and Marine Insurance Company. Baker conceived the idea of using a telegraph line between his house and the houses of two fellow chess players, enabling each player to telegraph his moves to his opponents. He organized the West Side Domestic Telegraph Company and a telegraph wire was strung between his house and that of his friends. On 29 August 1877, the first telephone transmissions took place where more than two telephones operated on one circuit. They were the second telephones to be leased in Canada. Baker started the Hamilton District Telegraphy Company on 15 July 1878, the first in the British Empire and ninth in the world. In May 1879, lines were extended to Dundas, establishing the first long-distance line in Canada. Baker attended Christ's Cathedral, was a member of many clubs, including the Garrick Club, the Leander Boat Club, the Spinning Wheel (bicycle) Club, the Tamahaac Club, the Hamilton Thistle Club, and the Hamilton Club. 
    Baker, Hugh Cossart Jr. (I3862)
     
    85 He was a sponge merchant Aaronson, Lewis (I378)
     
    86 He was elected rector of Union church in Claremont, New Hampshire, in 1843. He held this position for 29 years, retiring at Easter 1871 on account of his age. Smith, Rev. Henry S. (I3942)
     
    87 He was poisoned by gas in February 1917, according to the Trinity College School Record (May 1917 edition, page 18) McLaren, Lt. Col. George Hagarty "Georgie" (I77)
     
    88 He was the 3rd Lord Duffus Sutherland, Kenneth 3rd Lord Duffus (I5588)
     
    89 He was the head of Clan Mackenzie.

    Wikitree page: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mackenzie-1188 
    Mackenzie, Kenneth 3rd Earl of Seaforth (I5591)
     
    90 Henry (as he was known) was murdered at Kingston Penitentiary. His 3-year-old daughter Katharine Parr was adopted by Catharine. Traill, Thomas Henry Strickland ("Harry") (I45)
     
    91 Her 1901 census report indicates that she immigrated in 1885, so I'm guessing that Kate and William met and married in BC. Frisby, Kate (I3371)
     
    92 Her birth certificate clearly says Sydney, but she is listed as Amber in the 1911 census when she was 17. Green, Sydney "Amber" (I730)
     
    93 Her burial place is listed as Aldershot, Ontario - which is right next to Burlington where the St. Matthews Anglican Church is located. Not sure if her memorial was moved, or the district lines were redrawn?

    Her birth may be in 1844 rather than 1841, as the web source is not 100% reliable and the death record implies 1844 as her birth year. 
    Wyatt, Helen Elizabeth (I438)
     
    94 Her marriage at the age of 29 was announced in The Hamilton Evening Times on Tuesday, June 24, 1862. "On the 19th inst. at St. Matthew's Church, on the Plains, Flamboro' East, by the Rev. Richard Flood; father of the bridegroom, assisted by the Rev. J. G. D. Mackenzie and Dr. Greene, Richard Flood, Esq., of Richmond Hill, C. W. to Grace Agnes, daughter of Henry Wyatt Esq., Herberton Cottage, Flamboro East."

    - from http://www3.sympatico.ca/dljordan/WyattFamily.htm 
    Family: Richard Hume Flood / Grace Agnes Wyatt (F24)
     
    95 His death notice indicates that he was a Vice President of Canada Life, while the 1881 census lists his occupation as "President" without saying the company name. He had business interests with William Paterson McLaren which are mentioned in William's page in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.

    He was founder and first president of the Hamilton Racket Court.

    Census 1891 indicates that his parents were both born in the US.

    Census 1851 shows him living with Charles H Gates who is either 30 or 36 or 38 years old (hard to understand the writing) which makes Charles either the same age or older than Frederick - and also a 10 year old buy Fred W. M. Gates who can't have been Frederick's son because Rederick already had an older son Frederick. This leads me to believe that Charles is his brother, particularly as Charles is shown as a widower who was also born in Montreal. 
    Gates, Frederick William (I545)
     
    96 His mother's maiden surname is given as Grimes, not Emms, but this is thought to be a transcription error. Source (S377)
     
    97 I am not certain if Amelia was the daughter by William's first wife or his second wife. Traill, Amelia Heddle "Millie" (I3362)
     
    98 I am pretty sure the marriage is this one from freebmd:

    99 I am thinking that the birthdate was in fact 1796, not 1786, given the order listed in the Viking Club mag. Sarle, Harriet (I42)
     
    100 I am wondering if her birth was 1867 instead of 1862, due to the census age given. Heddle, Ethel Forster (I4009)
