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

Birth Source; Christened 29 June 1746 at Kennoway; Parents John Wilkie and Margaret Dewar; C114344, # 2796
I am presuming for the time being a probability exists these may be the parents of my G G Great Grandfather Robert Wilkie. My reasons being that the dates jive and the naming pattern is familiar. Further descendants used the names of Dewar as a middle name for one of the children, suggesting that John Wilkie & Margaret Dewar may also be connected as poss. parents. Further research required to truly verify as fact however.
As of January 2011, many Wilkie researchers are still clinging to this strong probability - that John Wilkie & Janet Stevenson are indeed the Parents of Robert Wilkie married to Christian Paul,
Isabel Ann Wilkie married to James William Dick
John Wilkie & Christian Ross , then Helen Main
William Wilkie & Henrietta Aiken Philp
The sources being used are Old Parish Records, Aberdour Parish; IGI, various individual birth, marriage, death records kept by various family descendants and family stories or legends HW
However going back from John Wilkie married to Janet Stevenson, the possibilities and probabilities are many - some researchers choosing John Wilkie & Margaret Dewar, others William Wilkie & Margaret Donaldson !!! On and on goes the puzzle HWJohn married Janet Stevenson on 13 Oct 1769 in Dalgetty, Fife, Scotland.
