Sometime later the family, including Robert's brother, James McKie [McKee, 1841-1919], immigrated to Canada from Belfast, Ireland. At this time, Esther was pregnant with their second child, and shortly after their arrival, a duaghter was born in Vancouver (Margaret Jane). The family moved to Langley, and three more children were born there: Esther (1874), Robert (1876), and James (1877).
