Narrative
I believe this John McArthur was the son of Gilbert McArthur and Catherine (Kitty) Forbes. He might also have been a McArthur from West River, PEI.
John was in the 1861, 1871 and 1881 census in Weldford, Kent. He was b. PEI, and was a Scotch Presbyterian. The names of his children and grandchildren would suggest a relationship with Hugh McArthur of PEI, and the naming of two children Catherine and Gilbert is a strong indication that he belongs with the family of Gilbert McArthur and Kitty Forbes.
In addition, Catherine McArthur, born PEI about 1784, died in Kent New Brunswick in 1870.
HOWEVER, NOTE THAT THIS IS FAR FROM BEING A PROVEN CONNECTION!!
The 1851 census did not include all of Kent County.
In 1861: John Mcarthur 46 and Elizabeth Mcarthur 39
Maryann Mcarthur 15, Isabella Mcarthur 7, Cathrine Mcarthur 9,
Gilbert Mcarthur 6 and Amelia Mcarthur 4
Children of John and Elizabeth Marsh according to the 1871 census were Mary Ann Mcarthur 27, Eliza Mcarthur 21 (missing from 1861), Catherine Mcarthur 19, Isabella Mcarthur 17, Gilbert Mcarthur 15, Emelia Mcarthur 13, Georgenia Mcarthur 10, Margaret Mcarthur 7, Alexina Mcarthur 5 and Melvina Mcarthur 4.
In 1881 there was also Fredrick S., age 3; other children at home were Mary Ann McArthur 37, Amelia McArthur 25 Georgenia McArthur 18, Margaret McArthur 16, and Alexina McArthur 13.
