    • Dear William,

      Thomas McCrum married Margaret Cooper (both were of Lancaster Saint John) on 23 March 1837. Source - St. Andrews Presbyterian Church records seen in book "Early Saint John Marriages" at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick.

      Anne McCrum married John James Rippey (both of Saint John) on 25 October 1860. They were married by James Baird of the Presbyterian Church in Carleton Saint John. Source - Volume F, Saint John County marriages, 1859 to 1863. ( She evidently used the name Anne instead of the longer Hannah).

      Dorothy Wiggs.

      Thomas McCrum

      Hello William,
