Donald McGill, a Labourer born in Scotland aged 75 and Margaret McGill, born Scotland age 70 living with the family in the 1861 census.  These most likely would be Donald's parents.  When the family first came to Canada, they stayed in Toronto for a short time, then the family moved to Erin, leaving Donald in Toronto with friends as he had been stricken with cholera, and was not expected to live.  About seven years later, they returned to Toronto, and found thier son had not died.  He came to the farm with them, and in 1847, the farm was registered in his name.
