Note: 2021: Notice the new spelling on Matthew's wife Richardena Londsdale to Richdeena Lansdale on cemetery stone at Glen Almond
Note 05/04/08:
My records show that the parents of Garnet Wolsey Bigelow are Matthew Bigelow and Richdeena (Lansdale) Bigelow. Everyone called her Dean as a nickname. Matthew Bigelow's parents were Charles Bigelow and Nancy (Lansdale) Bigelow. Richardena's parents were Archibald Lonsdale and Anne (Bigelow) Lonsdale.

The Bigelows, Lansdales, and Mason (Masson) familys all resided in the Glen Almond area of Quebec, just outside of Buckingham. As a child, I spent time there on my uncles farm, Lionel Garnet Bigelow. Lionel has passed away. His son, David may still be alive and if he had sons, the Bigelow name on this particular branch would still be going.
Hope this helps.

Great page. I have found much information on my Mother-in-law, Lila Leclair's ancestors, daughter of Elizabeth Mallish and Norman Leclair (see link). By the way, Margaret Bigelow and Edward Mallish had some children that where not mentioned in your page. Beside Elizabeth Mallish mentioned above, and Louisa, Rhoda, Mima and Stanley, there was Nellie (Robert Donaldson), Ethel (Allen Smith), Betsy or Betty (? Parent), and Victor Mallish.
Now, I need some help on my father-in-law Frank (Franklin) Bigelow. He is the son of Thomas Arthur Bigelow and Ruby Smith. Frank's siblings are: Evelyn, Dorothy, Kenneth, Reginald, Lezetta and Henry.

Frank's father, Thomas Arthur Bigelow (1897-1953) siblings are: Earl, Garnet, Archie, Wellington, Noble, Ella (Walter McGarry), Verna (Alton Bourne), and Mamie (Charles McGee).
Frank's Mother, Ruby Smith siblings are: Gladys (Earl Bigelow, brother of Thomas mentioned above), Ethel (Jack Devine), Lorne, Pearly (Male), William. Some of the spelling may be off.
Thomas Arthur Bigelow's father was Mat (Probably Matthew) Bigelow, married to Dean (Spelling?) Lansdale. He possibly died around 1930.
Sorry if the spelling is off as this was given to me verbally. All persons mentioned above lived in Buckingham and Glen Almond Quebec. Any help would be appreciated. http://www.cyberus.ca/~lemay
