I found your query re: Waddell's" when I was searching for further info on my
  father's family.  He was John Boyd Waddell, born Dec 1, 1901 in Ramsay, Ontario,
  Near Almonte.  His father was Robert Waddell and his mother was Mary Ann McTavish.
  He died in 1943, before I was born, and the following is the only info I have been
  Able to find about the Ottawa area Waddell's. 
  James Waddell was born Feb 10, 1795 or '96 (probably in Glasgow, Scotland).  He
  Married Margaret Thom or Thorne.  A son, John was born in 1828.  In 1831, the
  Family came to Canada with Thomas Bowes and his pregnant wife, Jessie (Dick). 
  A daughter was born at sea before they arrived in Halifax, NS, April 20, 1831,
  Who later married John Waddell and had a son, Robert, who married Mary MacTavish. 
  Sometime after my father was born on Dec. 1, 1901, they moved to Alberta and
  Settled near Delburne, Alberta.
  I do not know if they went to the Ottawa area directly after arriving in Halifax. 
  I don't think they came with the Waddells who settled in either Nova Scotia or New
  Brunswick, but they could possibly be cousins to those Waddell's.
  Does this connect with your Waddell roots?  I would love to hear from any of you
  Regarding any info you have re the Ottawa area Waddells.

 

The Above is a Message put on a site,But note The Ref to a Thomas Bowes,This is why we asked, did you think he was Married before.Seems strange That 2 Thomas Bowes went to the area,We are not saying its correct.And also not Saying related to Waddles.But Unsure
