    Not getting any hits on Ancestry but its conecting me to a tree (hahahaha) and looking at it the person has taken infomation from "Ancestry Family Tree" not checked it out as had him born in Ireland all other children born before him and after plus his parents born in Coltburn, Ayrshire, Scotland.

    Could it be that he was born in Scotland but sailed to Canada from Ireland.

    Thanks for the info, have seen that before and discarded it as he did not come to Canada. I am five generations of the Robert Sloan who lived in Ontario after coming to Canada around 1820-22, can't find any info on that or his siblings.

    OK I read somewhere that he went to Canada with his Mother and Siblings and have you looked for his marriage in Canada that might have his fathers name on it.
    Have you got a tree on Ancestry.

    Hi and thanks again
    Yes I have a tree on Ancestry, under David Sloane, father Wilbert and Mother Gladys (Fortney).When I checked your Robert Sloan, none of his children or wife matched what I have in my tree, most all has been confirmed.
    If you find anything, please let me know
    Thanks
    Dave

    Dave could you please give us the names of Robert Sloan(e)s wife and children that you have in your tree please? It saves us doing research that you already have.
