May ARBUCKLE & Alexander KETTLES

The family of Samuel and Margaret Jane Arbuckle were living in Hull, Quebec on the Aylmer road.  When the census takers came to enumerate all the people living in the family, all of the people living in the house were included.  In 1901, there were 12 people in the household.  Along with Samuel and Margaret Jane and their children were: 

KETTLES,  Alexander; Domestic; b Nov 27, 1876; 24 years old

WILSON, James S.; Domestic; b Dec 6, 1878; 22 years old

ARBUCKLE, May; Domestic; b Apr 27, 1879; 21 years

ARBUCKLE, Mina J; b May 13, 1883; 17 years

By looking up names and birth dates, it became obvious that these were sisters; daughters of John ARBUCKLE b 1846 and cousins of Samuel ARBUCKLE.

May ARBUCKLE and Alexander KETTLES were married 2 years after the census, on April 22, 1903.  These are the grandparents of BK who has sent pictures from the family.  These are fantastic pictures and I’m so happy to be able to post them.  

All you ARBUCKLEs out there – if you have any pictures from this time period, please have a look through.  I would appreciate digital copies of anything you find – maybe you can now play ‘name that face’…
