a Margaret Charlotta Sinclair was my Great Grandmother
notes from a cousin : 'The Sinclair father's first name was Harry (one R in Hary) for two or three generations. An easy one to notice. They came from the OrkneyIslands. There was a record of them still living there in the late1700's, or possible even early 1800's. The three Sinclair girls were Margaret, Isabella and Jane. All three lived with Robert Maxwell Graham in a suite above the bake shop in St. John, New Brunswick. Margaret died in Clarendon district and is buried in the Gravel Hill cemetery, at the Graham corner. I have a map showing where someone thought Robert M. Graham was buried, or might have been. But it was not in the same place as his wife, Margaret.

Margaret Charlotta Sinclair was the daughter of Hary Sinclair and Janet Mowat. Her baptism was registered at Stomness in Orkney on 17 July 1815, but it seems quite likely that she died young, because she had a younger sister named Margaret Graham Sinclair whose baptism was registered there on 9 February 1827. The probably that she did indeed die young is suggested by the fact that her name is missing from the Stromness census return of 28 May 1821.
For the 1821 census return see Harry Sinclair
