Island story
Mary Catherine MacFarlane is named on the Andrew and Flora MacFarlane family memorial at R10-007, which records 1894–1927. The current transcription calls Mary a daughter of Andrew and Flora; PIHS retains that inscription evidence while continuing to separate memorial wording from independent genealogy where needed.

Incomplete names and identity candidates
Name and accepted-alias matches appear before initials-only possibilities. Within each group, records with no known date conflict and an accepted connection to the selected relative appear first. This is an evidence ordering, not a probability. Compare generation, known relatives, census units, memorials and dated sources in each record. No suggestion changes a family relationship.

John Robert MacFarlane — Andrew/Flora son
John Robert MacFarlane — Andrew/Flora son
John Robert MacFarlane’s full delayed birth application, signed by himself on 9 December 1966, reports his birth on Pictou Island on 3 March 1900 and names Andrew MacFarlane and Flora MacPherson as his parents. It describes Andrew as a deceased fisherman born on the Island and places the applicant at White Sands/Murray River, Prince Edward Island. An attached census-search extract quotes John R., one, in 1901 and Robert, eleven, in 1911 in Andrew and Flora’s household; those extracts are later certified comparisons, not a new inspection of the original census pages. An attached church certificate instead names his mother Flora MacDonald and records baptism on 16 August 1900. That maternal-surname discrepancy remains explicit; the application’s MacPherson agrees with the independently documented Andrew–Flora marriage and Flora’s death record. The application and copied certificate are retrospective evidence, not a contemporary birth return.
