Covers emigration from Scotland to England and Wales from around the 19th century onwards.
John Trace (1805-1895) married Jane Matthews in the 1820s, and in 1862 the family immigrated from England to Port Hope, Ontario, later moving to Laxton Township, Victoria County, Ontario. Descendants and relatives lived in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to Illinois and elsewhere.
This book deals with the descendants of Daniel Parker (ca. 1801-1868), his half-brother, John Parker (1810-1862), and their first cousin, Edward Parker (1805/1810-ca. 1883). Daniel and John were probably sons of James Parker, a British soldier serving in Ireland. Daniel, John and Edward emigrated from Ireland (possibly Ulster) to land near Lakefield, Argenteuil, Quebec. Descendants and relatives lived in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to New England, Illinois, South Dakota and elsewhere in the United States. Includes some family and local history in Ireland.
Gracie Lindsay’s return to Levenford arouses mixed feelings: to her uncle Daniel she is the daughter he never had; to David Murray she is the woman he still loves though he is now engaged to another; and to the townspeople she is the girl who seven years earlier left Levenford pregnant and in disgrace. Now at 25 Gracie is more lovely than ever and just as careless of propriety as before . . . This is the poignant and moving story of Gracie’s struggle to win self-respect and the regard of the town. In the magnificent narrative tradition of The Citadel, The Stars Look Down and Cronin’s other classic novels, Gracie Lindsay is a great book by a much-loved author.
