Hello Rod,

I found your web page on family history and believe that we might have a few common ancestors.
My Father was born in Port Hood,
Nova Scotia to Austin and Josephine MacDonnell….I also know that from my mothers side…there was Bigelow’s in the family.
My name is Roderick James MacDonnell…and to tell you the truth, my brother Kelvin complied a book on our MacDonnell ancestors.
Also, my mother and some of her sisters have a running book on the Miller family that list Bigelow’s as our forerunners.

I thought you might have a bit more info than me. Actually my grandfather was Austin Philip MacDonnell…and as I know Port Hood is a small town…figured that there might be some ties. Port Hood is mentioned in your link. Here is some more info for you from my relatives:
Angus MacDonnell (from
Glengarry, Scotland) settled in Antigonish N.S. in 1821. Angus married Ann Bigelow who was a native of Cornwallis N.S. She lived to the age of 106.
His son James moved to Port Hood in 1840 and married a Charlotte Fuller from Arichat. James died in 1880 and left his house to his son John Angus MacDonnell, who in turn passed it down to his youngest son Austin Philip MacDonnell…my grand father.
My grand father lived in Port Hood (Austin Philip MacDonnell)…he passed away in 198_?
I hope this helps us sort something out?

Rod, do you have any line on a Mary Bigelow who will have married Angus MacDonnell  from the area of Port Hood Cape Breton?
Or can you give me a referal to someone who may know. My great grandfather was their son William Fraser MacDonnell, he was  born Dec 20,1837. There will have been other children but I have no idea on names or how many.
I mention William birth because it might give you a year factor to know where to look in your files.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.
I have just read your web page which I must say is set up very nicely. I now send another two pages on my great grandfather William son of Angus and Mary Bigelow or Anne Bigelow?
I had seen Angus on a document in Halifax one time with Anne as his spouse. But the church where he married have his wife as Mary. Talk about confused?
Ann of Ottawa.

Hi Rod,
I am seeking info on an Ann Bigelow of Cornwallis, Nova Scotia (likely born somewhere from 1750-1780). She did convert to Catholicism and married an Angus MacDonnell, native of Scotland, who settled in South River, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. She lived to the age of 106. This is all
I know. Would you have any leads?
Thank you
