B-1, pg. 11, line 11 - ancestry.ca) (Note: Robert Weddell Sr. is below.)³ He "This firm also submitted a bid to construct three steel road bridges over the canal at a cost of $5900 each. However, the contract went instead to Robert Weddell and the Trenton Bridge and Engine Works who offered to build three composite timber and iron structures at $6739 each. In making this decision, John Page, the Chief Engineer of the Department of Railways and Canals stated that a timber structure would be more durable and could be repaired more easily by local work men. While this may have been a consideration, the real reason seems to have been Weddell's prominent position in the area and his close association with local politicians. For in mid August when it was learned that Weddell had applied for the work, the Reeve and Municipal Council of Brighton, along with the Trenton Town Council, wrote to the Minister of Railways and Canals to endorse his tender. Most important however, was Weddell's Conservative connections in the region. According to E. Cochrane, the Conservative member for Northumberland East, in a letter to John Pope, "Anything that can be done to give R. Weddell of Trenton the contract for the superstructures on the bridges on the Murray Canal will be a great benefit to our party in the Riding as he is a man that will do anything that he can to assist us." No doubt this settled the matter fairly quickly, and Weddell's contract with the Department was signed on September 17, 1886." the Powles Report, page 28 & 29.
Note: Assuming that this contract was with the company, or maybe with Robert Weddell, Sr., not Jr., who was 30 at this point. on 17 September 1886 at Murray Canal, Trenton, Hastings Co., Ontario.¹⁶ He "The road bridges, two of which are completed, swing on a huge central pier protected on either side by other piers, and are built by Mr. Robert Weddell, Jr., at this bridge works at Trenton; and bear out in their beauty and strength the great reputation which Mr. Weddell has earned by the quality of his work of being one of the foremost bridge builders in Canada. The railroad bridge, a fine structure, reflecting great credit on the builders, the Dominion Bridge Company of Hamilton, is also built of steel and swings in the same manner as the road bridges." from a newspaper article by "Canalis" in the Belleville Intelligencer, Aug 23 1888. (Belleville Newspaper Microfilm Archives: Daily Intelligencer Mar. 1, 1888 - Apr. 9, 1889, MR No. 46, OCR of original page image.)
Note: Robert Weddell, Jr. was 38 at this time, so probably directly involved in the operations of building the superstructures of the road bridges for the Murray Canal. His father was 66 at this time, still owner of the company and probably involved at a management level. The only documents I have seen do not specify Sr. or Jr., so I assume Sr. at this time.

Amanda's email: "Hello Dick and Dan, There is a mention of Weddell in relation to dredging in 1890, but that was in Belleville: https://archive.org/details/intelligencer-weekly-september-1890/page/n15/mode/2up?q=weddell
There is an Intelligencer article in May 1888 about his company in Trenton, but it seems to be more concerned with building bridges than dredging: https://archive.org/details/intelligencer-may-1888/page/n63/mode/2up?q=%22robert+weddell%22
