Notes from Lillian Bowdery, Barrie, Ontario, her branch. Isabella Dick
is her gggrandmother
"Emigrated to Toronto, where she and her husband owned a confectionary store. After the store burned, they moved all 9 children and their governess to a farm North of Barrie. I think her sister Janet who was married to Robert Orok (Orock) was already living there at that time. All the rest of the Dick family stayed in Scotland. There are hundreds of descendants in the Russell line. Thanks for filling in the previous generation for me Heather" Lillian Bowdery, Barrie, Ontario Oct 28, 2003
