  Notes	(Research):Helen Gourley Miller may have been a twin but no batismal record could be found to verify this.  She was baptised in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Lanark Ontario and this the source indicated for the following information. Notes were found to link Blair Gourlay Miller #4081 in my Legacy database indicating his name was found in a microfilm circa 1970s, listing him as a child present at the time of Helen's death in 1950. He does not appear in the 1852 census so if he was not a stillborn or childhood death, he may have been adopted by another family member as were other children in the family e.g. John Mason Miller #335 by Janet Miller #20 and Robert Hendry Boyle and Jane Eliza Miller and Andrew Burns Miller #825 by George Miller #27 and Helen Mason. For the moment I have unlinked him from the family of Thomas Miller #22 until further proof can be found. 8 Apr 2018 Search added to to do list
