Descendents of William Grieve (5 Feb 1799 - ca 1875)
and Eleanor Turnbull (18 Sep 1794 - 18 Oct 1860)

Second Immigrant Generation
*******************************************************************************

 

9. Margaret Grieve . Daughter of William Grieve & Eleanor Turnbull. Born 19 Nov 1834 in Collingwood House, England. Christen 26 Nov 1834 in Branton, Northumberland, England.

    There does not appear to be a marriage record for the marriage of Margaret Grieve and John Cessford.   They may have been married in the Free Presbyterian Church in Harvey and no records survived.

    No death date for Margaret, but she probably died in Sandwick, BC after 1907.   In an article in the Comox District Free Press dated 27 March 1968, there is a picture of Margaret Cessford with her brother George and his wife Jane.   When she went to British Columbia is not know. Perhaps it was after the death of her husband in 1907.   If this were so, she would have been 73 or older when she ventured from Harvey to Sandwick.   Her brother George died in 1909.   This suggests that the photo was taken within a year or two of his death.   Three of Margaret's sons lived in BC.

    She married John "Jack" Cessford, son of David Cessford & Margaret "Peggy" Piercy. Born 27 Sep 1834 in Wooler, England. Christen 5 Oct 1834 in United Presbyterian, Cheviot St., Wooler. Died 25 Nov 1907 in Harvey. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Occupation Farmer. Religion Presbyterian.

    Jack came to NB as a very young child with his parents and two older siblings in 1837 with the pioneer settlers of Harvey Settlement.

    Jack and Margaret were farmers in Harvey.   Jack is buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery, but Margaret's name is not on the gravestone.   She may have moved to British Columbia after Jack died.  

    In the 1861 Census they owned or occupied 25 acres improved land and 55 acres unimproved land, cash value of farm was 100 pounds, value of implements and machinery, 2 pounds.   They had 2 horses, 2 milch cows, 1 other neat cattle, 4 sheep, 2 swine; produced 150 lb. butter, 12 lb. wool, 5 tons hay, 250 bu. oats, 20 bu. buckwheat and 80 bu. potatoes.

    Jack and Margaret had five children.

    They had the following children:

  46   i.   Robert "Bob" Cessford

  47   ii.   William David Cessford

  48   iii.   John "Albert" Cessford

  49   iv.   Eleanor Jane "Ellen" Cessford
