Looking for Jane Caygill - possible sister of Joseph Caygill. Jos Kagill listed on 1841 cesus living with John (Jno) Amrstrong and Jane in Sheldon. Is this the Joseph Caygill listed here? Jane and John immigrated to Canada about 1842. Jane's last name listed in many various forms on her children's death certificates but Caygill seems to be the most likely.
