Alexander Gardiner Milne born 1837, Nichol Township married Anna Milne daughter of James Milne and Ann Marin both of Scotland. James worked in one of the oldest working quarries in England. Her brother Scott Alexander Milne born 1833 Scotland married Jane Pirie.....This is Scott #1. Their daughter Anna married Alexander Gardiner Milne. Alexander Gardiner Milne/Anna Milne had a son Scott Alexander Milne born 1860 Elora who married Mary Amelia Wallis. They had 7 children: Charles Granger, Ann Beatrice, Florence Catherine, Norman Syril, Elizabeth Ann, and Caroline. There were twins (stillborn) and Elizabeth died as a young girl and is buried in Trout Creek.

Alexander Gardiner formed a lumber mill named Milne & Sons which produced wooden shingles. Charles Granger worked in the mill and lost the 3rd & 4th finger of his Left hand to the saw, a not uncommon injury in those times. His passion was to hunt and fish, something that the males in the family carry on, some to the exclusion of everything else including their wives.

Our Earliest Canadian Ancestors in Canada

Our beginnings as far as my research has led me, starts in

Aberdeenshire, Scotland with John Milne b. 1785 and Margaret

Anderson b. 1785.

They married in 1807 and raised a family of 7 children. Two of those children are the beginnings of the Canadian branches of this line. Christiana Milne born 1815 and the mother of Alexander Gardiner Milne. His father is listed as George Milne but no record has been found of a marriage.
