1917	Airth is a Royal Burgh, village, former trading port and civil parish in Falkirk, Scotland. It is 8 miles (13 kilometres) north of Falkirk town and sits on the banks of the River Forth. Airth lies on the A905 road between Grangemouth and Stirling and is overlooked by Airth Castle, the village retains two market crosses and a small number of historic houses. At the time of the 2001 census the village had a population of 1,273 residents.[1] but this has been revised to 1,660 according to a 2008 estimate.[2] he village has long association with the River Forth and it was on the banks of the river that a royal dockyard was created. It was used during the years 1507-1513 in the reign of James IV to build ships of war at the pool of Airth. History reveals that a primitive form of dry dock was used. Strong timbers would be used to form the "stocks" for the vessel and a clay dam would prevent the river from penetrating the working area. When the ship was ready, the dam would be breached, at high tide, to enable it to float out into the river. The shipping fleet was destroyed in 1745 by Bonnie Prince Charlie when some ship to shore skirmishes took place by batteries set by Jacobites to drive off the government ships. A number of smaller vessels from the village were burned by loyalist troops and that proved damaging to Airth's subsequent development as a port. However, as late as 1820 sloops built in the shipyards at Airth were among those recorded as operating in the middle of the Forth .

Mrs. MacLean had been ailing not more than a week...but pneumonia developed and carried her off so quickly that few...knew she was ill. Mrs. MacLean was a resident of Hillcrest, where she came about four years ago, as the bride of the late Thomas Alexander MacLean, father of Mrs. C. P. Hill. Mr. MacLean also died very suddenly less than a year ago of heart failure. Mrs. MacLean was thirty eight years of age and a native of Newcastle, N. B.

Month and year of birth from 1911 Census of Canada. From the Blairmore Enterprise, May 29, 1930, Page 1, via the Peel Library of the University of Alberta website: DEATH OF EDWARD ENNIS An unusual cloud of gloom was cast over Blairmore and district on Sunday morning, when the news spread of the rather unexpected death of Edward, twenty-two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ennis, pioneer residents. Edward was taken ill on the Tuesday previous and his illness developed into pneumonia within a couple of ays [sic]. Hope for his recovery, however, was entertained until Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, when he quite unexpectedly passed on. Edward was very well known throughout the district and was looked upon by everyone as being of a most admirable disposition. He was during school days a room-mate of "Billy" Hamilton, whose tragic death occurred near Drumheller last week at about the same age. Edward is survived by a young wife, formerly Miss Doris Williams; also his parents, two brothers, Arthur and Delbert, and four sisters: Elaine, residing here; Mrs. J. A. McLean, residing north of Lundbreck; and Mrs. Thomas Clark and Miss Marion Ennis, residing at Vancouver, with [sic] all of whom general sympathy is extended. Funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was largely attended. Following an impressive service conducted at the home by Rev. A. D. Currie, the remains were laid to rest in the Blairmore cemetery. Two large drays were necessary to convey the numerous and beautiful floral tributes. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Clark and Miss Marion Ennis were present from Vancouver.

1944	Alexander Callander & Agnes Sterling Posted 29 Jun 2012 by Liz Richardsen "We must not close this record without a short history of Alexander and his noble little wife, Agnes Stirling. They were my grandparents, I being the son of their youngest child, Alexander. They were both born in Falkirk, and Grandfather served his apprenticeship as a blacksmith in the old shop known as Callander Smiddy. When the writer first visited Falkirk, the old Smiddy was still standing. At that time it was used as a bicycle repair shop, but the old forges were till there; no doubt Grandfather spent the days of his young manhood working at one of these. Shortly after my visit, the old Smiddy was torn down and a two story building erected in its place. The lower stroy is now occupied by the agency of Singer Sewing Machine and the upper story as a dwelling. Across High Street is a property consisting of five two storoy stone buildings, known as the Callander property. The present owner is William Brown, whose mother was a Callander. She was of a very kind disposition and was known in Falkirk as "Auntie Brown". High Street here diverges to the left and another street branches off to the right, forming a point or triangle. On this triangle is erected a stone building known as "Callander Tavern". No person seems to know when it received that name. Grandfather and Grandmother caught the Canadian fever and early in 1820 left Falkirk for Canada. When they left Falkirk, they had with them six children. James, Elizabeth, John, Isabella, William and Agnes. While they were waiting for their ship at Greenock, their eldest child, James, died and was buried there. While on board ship, a baby girl, Jeannie, was born, but only lived a short time and was buried at sea. Two other sons were born to them in Canada, James and Alexander. The trip across the Atlantic was made in an old man-of-war, that had been sunk during the Napoleonic wars. It had been raised and was now being used to transport emigrants to the Colonies. Adverse winds and very stormy weather delayed the old sailing vessel, but they landed in Quebec some time in June. With them were several other Scottish families, among whom were the Wallaces, the Parks and the Millars. When they arrived in Quebec, they were all practically penniless. It has been said that Grandfather landed in Quebec with a wife, five children and a six-pence. The manufactured goods used in Canada at this time were made in Britain, brought to Quebec in ships and from there were carried by French Voyageurs to Mont Real and Upper Canada in flat bottomed scows called Batteaux. These were loaded with goods and where the water was smooth, were propelled by sails, but when the rapids of the St Lawrence were reached, they had to be towed. These Scottish emigrants obtained passage for themselves and families by assisting in this work. This was a long and tedious journey and when they reached Prescott, the Boyageurs had no further use for the emigrants, there being very little or no current between there and Toronto, so they were put ashore. They immediately began their march inland and in December reached a place in Dalhousie Township, in the County of Lanark. This place is about two miles north of what is now known as Watson's Corners. They picked the high groung for their homes as the low was wet and swampy. The men set to work cutting down trees and built a shanty, but how they existed until they reaped their scanty harvest in 1821, we can not conceive. After years of hard labour clearing the land, these Scottish families came to the conclusion that the land was not worth the clearing and decided to leave Dalhousie. The Millars moved south into Bathurst Township, the Parks to Western Ontario, while the Callanders and Wallaces moved east to North Gower township, county of Carleton. The Wallaces settled north of what is now known as North Gower Village, while the Callanders made their home south of it. They bought their land from the Canada Company, and paid for it by selling Potash made from the ashes of the log-piles made in clearing the land. It may be interesting to note in passing that, while practically every acre of land sesttled by the Wallaces is still in possession of someone by that name, not an acre of that settled by the Callanders is owned by any of their descendants, nor is there a Callander in North Gower Township and only one in Carleton county, Alexander, son of James Callander, who lives in Ottawa. Grandfather died in 1850, aged seventy-five, but Grandmother lived until 1866, being eighty-four when she died. They were a noble pair, both morally and spiritually good, wand while they endured hardships such as very few are called upon to go through, their lot was almost trying, but they always made the best of it and were cheerful, and when we, their descendants, think of them, we have reason to be thankful and proud that we have the blodd of such heroic forbearers running through our veins. By a sstudy of the appended genealogical tree it will be seen that we are not only scattered over the whold of North America, from Atlantic to Pacific in both Canada and the United States, but in other countries. The senior member of the connection today is Alexander Thomson, son of Agnes Callander and Gilbert Thomson. Alex was born in 1848 and is therefore eighty-eight years of age. Jean Callander, daughter of Alexander Callander and Agnes Brown is the next oldest, born in 1849, and is therefore eighty-seven years old. For the third place there are three contestants, Alexander Stirling, son of James Callander and Margaret Morgan; David, son of William Callander and Harriedt Barrows; and William, son of William Callander and Margaret Wallace. These were each born in 1854, making them eighty-two years of age." Written by: Hugh B. Callander 1859 (m. Ettie Wigle 1869), sixth child of nine of Alexander Callander (1825-1873-(youngest son (9th of 9 children)of Alexander Callander 1775-1850 and Agnes Stirling 1782-1856)) and Agnes Brown (1828-1914).

1949	Alexander Stewart (c. 1493 ? 9 September 1513) was an illegitimate son of King James IV of Scotland by his mistress Marion Boyd. He was the King's eldest illegitimate child. He was an elder brother of Catherine Stewart his only full sibling, a half brother to James Stewart, Margaret Stewart and Janet Stewart, the other illegitimate children of James IV and his mistresses. He was an older half-brother of the future James V. His mother was Marion Boyd, daughter of Angus Boyd, who was Earl of Angus's brother-in-law through his second wife. Angus's influence over the young King may have been how Marion and James IV met and eventually had two children, Alexander born around 1493 and Catherine born around 1494. His sister married James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Morton. From a young age Alexander was groomed for a life in the church. At the age of four his father received a dispensation from illegitimacy by Julius II enabling him to join the church. By September 1502 he was archdeacon, when his uncle James, Duke of Ross died in 1504 his father the King nominated him as the new Archbishop of St Andrews. Alexander was still only a boy at age 11 which would mean his father could still receive the revenues of St Andrews since Alexander was under age until he turned 27. He received a superb education firstly from James Watson, later Dean of the Arts faculty at St Andrews, and latterly from Patrick Paniter whom he seemed to have been close to. In 1507 Alexander Stewart was sent to France on the royal ship the Treasurer. His education continued with lengthy journeys to the Low Countries, and Italy in 1507. In Padua he studied rhetoric and Greek under Erasmus who wrote a moving obituary after young Alexander's death at the Battle of Flodden. Erasmus mentioned their time at Siena where after studies in the morning Alexander would play the monochord, recorder or lute in the afternoon. Alexander returned to Scotland in 1510 and at the age of 17 became Lord Chancellor of Scotland. Alexander was reportedly severely myopic, possibly from extensive study in poor conditions. In 1511 he co-founded St Leonard's College in St Andrews, whose chapel still stands (minus its original tower). A gateway with his coat of arms above the arch survives in St Andrews. He was killed along with his father at the Battle of Flodden.	Stewart, Alexander Archbishop of St. Andrews (I22762)
1950	Alexander was born Nov. 11,1778 in Lochgoilhead, Scotland. He was married there on May 12, 1803, to Janet Clark, daughter of Donald Clark and Margaret McKeller. They came with their family to Canada, settling in Lanark County, Ontario.	McDougall, Alexander (I9148)

Airth is a Royal Burgh, village, former trading port and civil parish in Falkirk, Scotland. It is 8 miles (13 kilometres) north of Falkirk town and sits on the banks of the River Forth. Airth lies on the A905 road between Grangemouth and Stirling and is overlooked by Airth Castle, the village retains two market crosses and a small number of historic houses. At the time of the 2001 census the village had a population of 1,273 residents.[1] but this has been revised to 1,660 according to a 2008 estimate.[2]

he village has long association with the River Forth and it was on the banks of the river that a royal dockyard was created. It was used during the years 1507-1513 in the reign of James IV to build ships of war at the pool of Airth. History reveals that a primitive form of dry dock was used. Strong timbers would be used to form the "stocks" for the vessel and a clay dam would prevent the river from penetrating the working area. When the ship was ready, the dam would be breached, at high tide, to enable it to float out into the river. The shipping fleet was destroyed in 1745 by Bonnie Prince Charlie when some ship to shore skirmishes took place by batteries set by Jacobites to drive off the government ships. A number of smaller vessels from the village were burned by loyalist troops and that proved damaging to Airth's subsequent development as a port. However, as late as 1820 sloops built in the shipyards at Airth were among those recorded as operating in the middle of the Forth .

MRS. MACLEAN
Of Hillcrest Succumbs to Attack of Pneumonia Last Friday
Death, coming with shocking suddenness, claimed Mrs. Annie Osborn MacLean, widow of the late Alexander MacLean, and one of the most highly esteemed women of The Pass yesterday. Mrs. MacLean had been ailing not more than a week...but pneumonia developed and carried her off so quickly that few...knew she was ill.
Mrs. MacLean was a resident of Hillcrest, where she came about four years ago, as the bride of the late Thomas Alexander MacLean, father of Mrs. C. P. Hill. Mr. MacLean also died very suddenly less than a year ago of heart failure.
Mrs. MacLean was thirty eight years of age and a native of Newcastle, N. B. The only member of her immediate family surviving her is Dr. Robert Nicholson of Newcastle. In addition she leaves five stepchildren, two daughters and three sons...
The funeral took place on Sunday at Hillcrest, the remains being buried there. The Masons of the district, of which order Mr. MacLean was a prominent member attended in a body.

From the Blairmore Enterprise, May 29, 1930, Page 1, via the Peel Library of the University of Alberta website:
DEATH OF EDWARD ENNIS
An unusual cloud of gloom was cast over Blairmore and district on Sunday morning, when the news spread of the rather unexpected death of Edward, twenty-two-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ennis, pioneer residents.
Edward was taken ill on the Tuesday previous and his illness developed into pneumonia within a couple of ays [sic]. Hope for his recovery, however, was entertained until Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, when he quite unexpectedly passed on.
Edward was very well known throughout the district and was looked upon by everyone as being of a most admirable disposition. He was during school days a room-mate of "Billy" Hamilton, whose tragic death occurred near Drumheller last week at about the same age.
Edward is survived by a young wife, formerly Miss Doris Williams; also his parents, two brothers, Arthur and Delbert, and four sisters: Elaine, residing here; Mrs. J. A. McLean, residing north of Lundbreck; and Mrs. Thomas Clark and Miss Marion Ennis, residing at Vancouver, with [sic] all of whom general sympathy is extended.
Funeral took place yesterday afternoon and was largely attended. Following an impressive service conducted at the home by Rev. A. D. Currie, the remains were laid to rest in the Blairmore cemetery.
Two large drays were necessary to convey the numerous and beautiful floral tributes.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Clark and Miss Marion Ennis were present from Vancouver.

Alexander Callander & Agnes Sterling Posted 29 Jun 2012 by Liz Richardsen

"We must not close this record without a short history of Alexander and his noble little wife, Agnes Stirling. They were my grandparents, I being the son of their youngest child, Alexander.

They were both born in Falkirk, and Grandfather served his apprenticeship as a blacksmith in the old shop known as Callander Smiddy. When the writer first visited Falkirk, the old Smiddy was still standing. At that time it was used as a bicycle repair shop, but the old forges were till there; no doubt Grandfather spent the days of his young manhood working at one of these. Shortly after my visit, the old Smiddy was torn down and a two story building erected in its place. The lower stroy is now occupied by the agency of Singer Sewing Machine and the upper story as a dwelling.

Across High Street is a property consisting of five two storoy stone buildings, known as the Callander property. The present owner is William Brown, whose mother was a Callander. She was of a very kind disposition and was known in Falkirk as "Auntie Brown".

High Street here diverges to the left and another street branches off to the right, forming a point or triangle. On this triangle is erected a stone building known as "Callander Tavern". No person seems to know when it received that name.

Grandfather and Grandmother caught the Canadian fever and early in 1820 left Falkirk for Canada. When they left Falkirk, they had with them six children. James, Elizabeth, John, Isabella, William and Agnes. While they were waiting for their ship at Greenock, their eldest child, James, died and was buried there. While on board ship, a baby girl, Jeannie, was born, but only lived a short time and was buried at sea. Two other sons were born to them in Canada, James and Alexander.

The trip across the Atlantic was made in an old man-of-war, that had been sunk during the Napoleonic wars. It had been raised and was now being used to transport emigrants to the Colonies. Adverse winds and very stormy weather delayed the old sailing vessel, but they landed in Quebec some time in June. With them were several other Scottish families, among whom were the Wallaces, the Parks and the Millars.

When they arrived in Quebec, they were all practically penniless. It has been said that Grandfather landed in Quebec with a wife, five children and a six-pence.

The manufactured goods used in Canada at this time were made in Britain, brought to Quebec in ships and from there were carried by French Voyageurs to Mont Real and Upper Canada in flat bottomed scows called Batteaux. These were loaded with goods and where the water was smooth, were propelled by sails, but when the rapids of the St Lawrence were reached, they had to be towed. These Scottish emigrants obtained passage for themselves and families by assisting in this work. This was a long and tedious journey and when they reached Prescott, the Boyageurs had no further use for the emigrants, there being very little or no current between there and Toronto, so they were put ashore.

They immediately began their march inland and in December reached a place in Dalhousie Township, in the County of Lanark. This place is about two miles north of what is now known as Watson's Corners. They picked the high groung for their homes as the low was wet and swampy. The men set to work cutting down trees and built a shanty, but how they existed until they reaped their scanty harvest in 1821, we can not conceive.

After years of hard labour clearing the land, these Scottish families came to the conclusion that the land was not worth the clearing and decided to leave Dalhousie. The Millars moved south into Bathurst Township, the Parks to Western Ontario, while the Callanders and Wallaces moved east to North Gower township, county of Carleton. The Wallaces settled north of what is now known as North Gower Village, while the Callanders made their home south of it. They bought their land from the Canada Company, and paid for it by selling Potash made from the ashes of the log-piles made in clearing the land.

It may be interesting to note in passing that, while practically every acre of land sesttled by the Wallaces is still in possession of someone by that name, not an acre of that settled by the Callanders is owned by any of their descendants, nor is there a Callander in North Gower Township and only one in Carleton county, Alexander, son of James Callander, who lives in Ottawa.

Grandfather died in 1850, aged seventy-five, but Grandmother lived until 1866, being eighty-four when she died. They were a noble pair, both morally and spiritually good, wand while they endured hardships such as very few are called upon to go through, their lot was almost trying, but they always made the best of it and were cheerful, and when we, their descendants, think of them, we have reason to be thankful and proud that we have the blodd of such heroic forbearers running through our veins.

By a sstudy of the appended genealogical tree it will be seen that we are not only scattered over the whold of North America, from Atlantic to Pacific in both Canada and the United States, but in other countries.

The senior member of the connection today is Alexander Thomson, son of Agnes Callander and Gilbert Thomson. Alex was born in 1848 and is therefore eighty-eight years of age. Jean Callander, daughter of Alexander Callander and Agnes Brown is the next oldest, born in 1849, and is therefore eighty-seven years old. For the third place there are three contestants, Alexander Stirling, son of James Callander and Margaret Morgan; David, son of William Callander and Harriedt Barrows; and William, son of William Callander and Margaret Wallace. These were each born in 1854, making them eighty-two years of age."

Alexander Stewart (c. 1493 ? 9 September 1513) was an illegitimate son of King James IV of Scotland by his mistress Marion Boyd. He was the King's eldest illegitimate child. He was an elder brother of Catherine Stewart his only full sibling, a half brother to James Stewart, Margaret Stewart and Janet Stewart, the other illegitimate children of James IV and his mistresses. He was an older half-brother of the future James V.
His mother was Marion Boyd, daughter of Angus Boyd, who was Earl of Angus's brother-in-law through his second wife. Angus's influence over the young King may have been how Marion and James IV met and eventually had two children, Alexander born around 1493 and Catherine born around 1494. His sister married James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Morton.
From a young age Alexander was groomed for a life in the church. At the age of four his father received a dispensation from illegitimacy by Julius II enabling him to join the church. By September 1502 he was archdeacon, when his uncle James, Duke of Ross died in 1504 his father the King nominated him as the new Archbishop of St Andrews. Alexander was still only a boy at age 11 which would mean his father could still receive the revenues of St Andrews since Alexander was under age until he turned 27.
He received a superb education firstly from James Watson, later Dean of the Arts faculty at St Andrews, and latterly from Patrick Paniter whom he seemed to have been close to. In 1507 Alexander Stewart was sent to France on the royal ship the Treasurer. His education continued with lengthy journeys to the Low Countries, and Italy in 1507. In Padua he studied rhetoric and Greek under Erasmus who wrote a moving obituary after young Alexander's death at the Battle of Flodden. Erasmus mentioned their time at Siena where after studies in the morning Alexander would play the monochord, recorder or lute in the afternoon. Alexander returned to Scotland in 1510 and at the age of 17 became Lord Chancellor of Scotland.
Alexander was reportedly severely myopic, possibly from extensive study in poor conditions. In 1511 he co-founded St Leonard's College in St Andrews, whose chapel still stands (minus its original tower). A gateway with his coat of arms above the arch survives in St Andrews. He was killed along with his father at the Battle of Flodden.
