Thanks to Joan Townsend and her cousin, Steven Archibald, I now have 60 pictures of the Archibald, Burns and Elliott Families. Some of these have been on Flickr since last October. I added about another 25 images today, so I thought I should alert you to these: Go to http://www.flickr.com/photos/30793716@N06/sets/72157627948114258/ to see these images.
They are predominately from the families of William and George Archibald. They were the sons of James E. Archibald and Isabella Aitken, both natives of Scotland. William was born in 1822, his brother George in 1824. They were the youngest of six children, all born in Bovina. William married Margaret McDonald, the daughter of Henry McDonald and Margaret Donald, in 1845. Margaret was born in Scotland in 1823. They had seven children. The oldest and youngest died as children, but the other five all grew to adulthood. William died in 1883 while his wife survived him by over 23 years, dying in 1907. Both are buried in Bovina. George married Jane Anderson in 1856. Jane was born in Scotland in 1835, the daughter of John Anderson. George and Jane had 11 children, with 9 surviving to adulthood. Jane died in 1897, George a year later. Both are buried in Bovina.
One of the grandsons of George Archibald was Marvin Archibald (1911-1987). In 1942, Marvin married Eleanor Burns (1919-2006). Included in this set of pictures are pictures from the family of William and Emily Burns, Eleanor's parents. William Burns was born in 1888, the son of J. Douglas Burns and Margaret Doig. He married Emily Elliott of New Kingston in 1915. They had five children, Robert, James, Eleanor, Clarence and Kathryn.
The Elliott pictures come from Emily Elliott Burns' grandparents, William and Eleanor Elliott of New Kingston. William and Eleanor were the parents of three sons, two of whom died in the Civil War - and in the same month. See the April 30, 2012 entry in this blog for more information about these two sons, James and Thomas. Emily Burns was the daughter of William and Eleanor's surviving son, John.
If you have any further information to add about these photos, please do so.
