"He was a Scotsman born in Canada"
editHmmm and at 16 he went to live in Australia and 20 years later in 1854 settled in England where he remained until he died in 1894. British I'll grant but a Scot!!? How about F G Dalgety's Canadian father Alexander junior who served in the 89th Royal Irish Fusiliers (wife not reported).He was born to a Captain Alexander Dalgety born? (Scotland? or ?) serving in the British Army in Montreal and his Dutch-Canadian wife Dorothy Jane Gonnerman. The only strongish tie to Scotland is the surname.
- Canada 16 years
- Australia 20 years
- England 40 years
Surely he must be English. Eddaido (talk) 05:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Needs a source, the article lacked one so I've removed the claim that he was a Scotsman. He might be thought of as Canadian or British, it's unlikely that he'd be considered English, so a published assessment is needed. . dave souza, talk 07:02, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, for my information : Wynford Vaughan-Thomas, Dalgety, The Romance of a Business. Henry Melland Limited, London 1984 ISBN 0907929079. But I will see if he had his mum with him in the UK censuses. Eddaido (talk) 07:14, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- no record in 1851 census (most probably would have been in Australia?)
- Census 1861 no mother mentioned but a place of birth is given
- Census 1871 no mother
- Census 1891

Australian Dictionary of Biography gives his mother's name as Elizabeth Doidge. Doidge is Scots? Eddaido (talk) 07:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
