William Hugill MacGregor

Other Events:

• Adopted: by his Aunt Mary and Albert MacGregor
• Name: William Hugill
• Census: 30 Apr 1910, Haynes Township, Alcona County, Michigan; 1910 Federal Census

Notes:

In December, 1903 George's widow, Petra (Theresa) LARSON took their 8 month old baby boy, William (Bill) Hugill back to Michigan (Alcona Co.) to George Hugill's younger sister - Mary Ellen.
Petra left her baby with her sister-in-law and told her she'd come back for him when she could look after him.

SHE WAS NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN!
That was 99 years ago!

One family story was that when Petra/Theresa left her baby in Michigan,
she went back to Minnesota for a short time -
She was next seen, by some Hugill family members in MILDMAY, Bruce Co. areaÖ..ONTARIO, Canada.
George Hugill still had relatives in this area.
A Great Aunt said she married a man from this area with the last name of Vollick, Vorlick/Varlick/Vlcek/?

William Hugill never knew his mother or why his mother never came back for him.......He never got over his mother leaving him.....He talked about it all his life...

William's son, Don has been searching for 35 years for Petra Theresa Larson..
.Before the internet, writing letters etc.
.Someone out there must know what happened to Petra Thresa LarsonÖ.
Who were Petra's parents? Siblings? Who was her second husband?

Not much to go on, but I am determined to help my Uncle Don, find out what happened to the Grandmother he never knew.
Are there any Petra or Theresa LARSON's in your family tree?
