  • Notes 
    • The 1891 census for Chingacousy Township, Peel County shows James and Sarah Jane living together with as yet no children.

      The 1901 census for Chingacousy Township shows the family with their birthdates. Their religion shown was Presbyterian.
      James McGill, retired farmer, b. 4 Apr. 1847
      Sarah J. McGill, wife, b. 24 Feb 1862
      William J. McGill b. 23 Oct. 1891
      Zoe M. McGill b. 28 Nov. 1892
      Roxy M. McGill b. 29 Sep. 1894
      Lorna A. McGill b. 5 Oct. 1896
      James J. McGill b. 4 Mar. 1899.

      The 1911 census shows the family living in Brampton, Peel County. The handwriting is difficult to read, but the children's names seem to be:
      William, b. 1892
      Martha or Myrtle, b. 1893
      Nina or Mina, b. 1896
      Lorna, b. 1897
      James, b. 1899

      An article in the Brampton Daily Times of 20 March 1973 describes the early days of a Magill family in Peel County, as told by Miss Lorna Magill. The family arrived in 1828, settling on crown land near Norval. The family [Mr. and Mrs. Magill, Lorna, Nina, James Johnson, William Graydon, and Myrtle) with 5 children, moved to Brampton in 1907, building a large 12-room house.
