My Family Tree

Margaret Sullivan was born on Prince Edward Island, and could be the daughter of Thomas Sullivan and Ann Ramsay. Thomas, David (m. Margaret Campbell) and Margaret (m. George Ramsay) came from Ireland around the same time, and all had links to Lot 13 PEI. David and Margaret already had a daughter named Margaret, b. 1844, but Thomas and Ann could have had a daughter named Margaret in 1823.

Margaret was a spinster with a daughter Eliza when she married John McDougall in New Brunswick. John's father Peter had been born on the Island, so there was a connection. His wife had also been born in Ireland.
