Richmond Quebec Farmers circa 1900

Isle of Lewis stock. Can't quite figure out who they are, with this date. (I originally thought it was earlier.) Margaret had a brother who was a Minister, another, Dan,childless, who dies in 1912 and then sisters.. The man's a McLeod, I assume, same face as John of the Crayon Drawing, John, my husband's great great grandfather.

 

Norman Nicholson had one brother, Gilbert, a farmer, with a daughter Sophia, but I think only on son, must check. He was pretty 'rough' so maybe this is him. Wife died early in the century, he moved out West as he had carpentry skills.

 

And the woman has Flora's face, so she's a relative, the woman on the left, (but then they interbred a lot) who I have posing in another tintype with the girl with the children so she's the mom and not the woman at center.
