Several siblings: John (plot #21), Donald John (plot #20), Archibald, Peggy & possibly Ann also came in 1883. Archibald, Peggy, Ann & mother Effie all returned to Scotland, though not all at the same time. Angus returned home to visit in 1898, traveled to Canada in 1914 (possibly to visit his eldest brother in Saskatchewan), and returned to visit in Scotland in 1921.
