(IF I have the right Alexander above, this would tie in and Hector would be the GREAT-GREAT GRANDFATHER of the Allan you are searching for):
"Hector MacKinnon,son of Captain Hugh MacKinnon** and Jane Robley. Hector married Katherine Ross of Nova Scotia. They had several children:Rachel, James,John and ALEXANDER.".
***Would be, in order, the GGG-Grandfather

http://genforum.genealogy.com/mackinnon/…
"Descendents of Hector MacKinnon 1790>1871"
Says Alexander (1826 Scotland – m. Catherine Morrison (?)in 1846), was son of Hector MacKinnon, b. in Scotland before 1790 & was the son of John MacKinnon and Catherine
(wonder if John M’s middle name was Hugh or vice-versa??)

(Hope I have the right members of the right families put together. The site at genforum has over 380 messages about the MacKinnon family of Scotland/Canada.)

He immigrated in 1911 and could read and write. children at the time were Elizabeth MacKinnon,2 years 4 months, and Flora J MacKinnon, 1 year 6 months.
