Andrew lived in Egmondville, Con 5, lot 5, where he had 100 acres. He married Alice Ratcliffe, born England circa 1830, religion Church of England. She must have been a special lady, because his sister Agnes grandaughter was named after her years later. In the 1881 census for Grey Ontario, which is nearby, there was a Thomas Ratcliffe born c1819 in England, wife Anne born c1824 England with a son Thomas G. born c1861 in Ontario - perhaps this was Alice's brother. The 1881 Hullet census also has a Daniel Ratcliffe born c1854 in Ontario, but of Scottish descent. He had a wife Charlotte and children Effie and Robert.
In the 1861 census, Andrew also had living in his household one John Mackay age about 13 years, religion Free Church of Scotland. The following information about Andrew is taken from the 1984 Huron County Historical Atlas page 264.
"Andrew Archibald came from Kippen near Stirling, Scotland from a farm named "The Poldars". He came to the Whitby area with his father, and later settled on lot 5, con 5, Hrs, Tuckersmith Township in 1855. He married Alice Ratcliffe, and English town maiden, and the couple raised a family of four boys and two girls. They cleared the land, built a log house and later, built the house and barn which are still standing today. Mr. and Mrs. Archibald helped to build St. Thomas' Anglican Church in Seaforth Ontario. Many descendants of Andrew Archibald have war service and several sacrificed their lives in World War I and World War II. His son, William Richard, took over the farm in 1901, and married Jessie Vallance Craig from Strathhaven, near Glasgow Scotland in 1904. They raised a family of eight children, all of who excelled in their chosen fields. William served his community well by being a secretary of the school board for 33 years, a Township Reeve for many years and a long time President and Director of the McKillop Mutual Fire Insureance Company, as well as serving in many other worthwhile community
projects. He also served on many boards of St. Thomas Anglican Church in Seaforth.
Two sons, Frank and Arnold, served in World War II, Frank winning the Military Cross, and Arnold paying the supreme sacrifice. Robert Ratcliffe Archibald began operating the farm in 1949. He and his wife Anne Wallace, and son William carried on a diversified operation with dairy, beef, and swine herds, as well as poultry and their specialty, apples. Robert, like his father, served his community well. He was President of the Seaforth Junior Farmers, President of the Tuckersmith Federation of Agriculture, President and Director of McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company for 30 years, and served on the Seaforth Fair Board for many years. He was President of the AYPA for the Deanery of Huron, and again, like his father, served on many boards of St. Thomas Anglican Church in Seaforth.
Their son William is progressing well in his chosen field, in 1973, due to ill health, the Archibalds sold "The Poldars" to Arnold and Jan Van Milternburg, who continue to operate the farm."
