Other Events:

• Occupation: 1851, Caradoc, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada; Yeoman

Notes:

The fact that Archibald is Donald's father is a guess by me. I made the connection because:
- living on adjacent lots in 1851 census
- only 2 McNeil families on that census
- Archibald was born in Scotland, Donald's father shown born in Scotland on donald's census records.
- The ages of the 2 work.
- There is a small child named Baker in Archibald's household. Donald married Emily Baker 3 years earlier.

The one fact that does not match is Mary (Archibald's wife) was born in Scotland, Donald's mother is listed on census records as born in Canada. But as Donald was born in scotland, it is likely that his mother was from scotland as well. Mary died in 1851, and Archibald might have remarried a woman from Canada.
