ANGLUM
I am looking for information on a John Anglum (my gg grandfather) who was born about 1835 and came
from Ireland to Canada and then later on to Michigan about 1856. I’m not sure when he arrived in
Canada but there was a James Anglum who came in 1846 with his wife and 7 children and John could
have been one of those children. I do not find any of the family in any of the Canadian Census Records I
only have this information from the “Canadian Immigrant Records, Part Two”. No names of anyone but
the father in this record.
Has anyone ever run across the name Anglum or have any suggestions for
me? If you need any more information please let me know.

COLLINS
Bernard/Bernet/Barnard/Barnhart - abt 1801 – 1876 and wife Margaret (abt 1810). First
located in 1851 Census in Streetsville, Ontario 6 children – William, Sara, Henry J., Catherine, Mary A.,
Bernet/Barney J. His occupation is listed as ‘potter’. The 1871 census has the family in Orangeville,
Ontario. A Barney/Bernet J. Collins did a ‘pottery display’ at the Canadian national Exhibition in 1913
and 1927 using an old wheel from his family in Orangeville. In 1896 it is reported that Harry Collins is
managing the pottery business quite well. Harry is believed to be the grandson of Bernard as his father
Henry James Collins (1842-1916) compares to the Henry J. Collins listed as a son of Bernard. Mary
Young (1844 – 1909) is the wife of Henry. All are buried in Orangeville.
I am interested in knowing more
about the ‘potter’ Collins with a particular interest in Harry Collins, my grandfather.

I am looking for more information on Dales from Armagh and Down and am particularly looking for a

DEVINS
Looking for possible Irish orgins of Devins/Devens family. The family goes
back to Walpack, NJ about 1712.
Terrence Devins (Devens) was probaby born
in the USA (1712), and married Marretje Kuykendall. His father is Samuel
Davis or Davids in a history of his wife's family.
Children: Johannes
(1737), Jacobus (1739), Antje (1743) and our ancestor Abraham (1747). DNA tests show they are connected to Devins DNA testing in Ireland, in
Fermanagh, Donegal and Tyrone. Abraham came to York Co, Ontario about
1792. So far I have no idea when the family went to the USA. He was
included in the family tree of the Davis/Davids family which took him back to 1638 era, but we do not seem to fit the DNA of any of the Davids, Davis
family.

DUDGEON
My gggrandfather Joseph DUDGEON was born about 1780 in possibly Antrim, Ireland. He Immigrated
about 1889-1890 to Maryland. His son Seabourn was born on 8 June 1801 in Maryland. The
story has it that Seabourn was born at sea. Joseph died in West Pike Run, Washington Co., PA 5, June
1843. I do not know who his wife was. He had nine children.
Two books compiled about the Dudgeons do not mention Joseph.
Can anyone add information about
Joseph and his origins?

EVANS
Searching for the Irish and Welsh origins of Francis Henry Evans (b.
December 29, 1820 Wicklow, Ireland, d. Feb 7, 1903 West Nissouri Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada) m. Susan Cronkricht (b. Aug 15, 1830 Upper Canada, d. Dec 21, 1912 West Nissouri Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada).
Francis had a brother George William Evans m. Sarah Jane Colwell that also immigrated to West Nissouri Township. The immigrations took place between 1839 and 1842, with Francis possibly settling in New Jersey before joining his brother in West Nissouri Township. There is a suggestion that 6 generations of the family were from Ireland and that they came from Wales prior to that.
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks. Vicki McKay mckgrov at xplornet.ca

They had a daughter Ann Hughes (b.
1837 - 1828, according to census records in Chelsea, Middlesex, England but I am starting to think that this may not be true as the family doesn't appear in the 1841 England census).

1845 in the Parish Church at Bethnal Green, Middlesex, England. Ann and William's children were Ellen (b. Jan 11, 1851), Ann (b. Aug 5, 1857 & d. Nov 4, 1862) and Mary (b. 1858 - 1859).

IRISH BRIDES FOR SETTLERS
Do you know if there are any records of Irish women being brought to Canada as brides for settlers? My
dad thought that his GG Grandfather Kenneth Urquhart-Glengarry was married to such a person. I know
she came to Canada in 1832 as she received help from the Montreal Emigrant Society. This ladies name
was Elizabeth Leonard and came from Moneymore Ireland.
I hope you can point me in the right
direction. Thank you.

MC CAREY
Mc Carey I'm looking for information on 4th great grandfather Patrick Mc Carey/ Mc Cary all I know of
him is that he was born in Ireland abt. 1797 and was Roman Catholic and he was married in
Williamsburg Twp, Dundas Co., Ontario in 1823 to Elizabeth Pillar. Are there any ships lists etc? I'm not
sure if this would be his true Irish surname and if the English did change it and, what could have it been?
I think he came to work on the Canal in Ottawa, possibly the Trent or on the St. Lawrence River. Any
help would be appreciated.

MCGAHARAN
My grandmother was Mary Ann McGaharan born in Cavan, County Cavan, Ireland.
She was baptized
July 13, 1857 in Cavan (I do nor know the name of the church). According to a family story she left
Ireland for England when she was 16, which would have been 1873. She married my grandfather,
Thomas HYDE, on March 12, 1876 in St.Philip's Church , Salford,Lancastershire. From then on I have
records of her & the family. I have wondered for a long time --where was she between 1873-6.
Unfortunately there is no census to help me. Do you have any suggestions?

MCGUIRE
Looking for GEORGE McGUIRE, son of John, born about 1816 in Ireland.
He married Sarah KING in Mammhilad Parish, Monmouthshire, Wales as a widower on 25 Oct 1840. His occupation was a clerk. When his son , Thomas King McGUIRE was born on 25 Oct 1841 in Panteg, Monmouthshire his occupation was a soldier. When Thomas K., George's son, married, his father was listed as a schoolmaster. Sarah KING McGUIRE died in 1844 at the age of 22 and after that there is no sign of George. I can find no other information on George personally after the 1841 Census .
Family story is that he came from Newry, but that is a port and it may be that he only sailed from Newry.
I would like to find his family in Ireland if that is possible.
The Surnames of Ireland by Edward MacLysaght states that the name came from Fermanagh.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

MEEHAN / CLARK
The first knowledge I have of my 2xGGrandfather Patrick Meehan m. Margaret Clark is when their first child 'William' b. in 1834 in Hope township. By 1855, Patrick had purchased some land in Ops township. Patrick was b. 1803 in Devnish Parish , County Fermanagh, Ireland. Margaret was b. 1809 in Co. Cavan (I don't know if that is Ontario or Ireland.) Patrick was R.C. and Margaret was C of E.
Their other children were: Mary A. b. 1836; John b. 1838; Anna b. 1839; Robert b. 1839; Ellen b. 1843; Elizabeth b. 1844; James b. 1847 and George b. 1849 (not sure if George is mine). They were all born in Hope Twp.
I would like to know if they went straight to Hope upon arrival or did they start somewhere else? Were they married when they arrived or did they meet in Canada? There are many Patrick Meehans who came to Canada; did this one have any siblings that immigrated also?

MULLEEN / MULLEN
I am looking for information on the family of John Mulleen, he was born in Ireland , about 1831, he was married to Catherine, maiden name unknown, also born in Ireland about 1836. They had 2 children, Thomas born 8/11/1863 and a daughter Margaret born about 1864, both born in Ireland, and three other children William, Edward and John all born in Kingston, Ontario, City, Canada. They came to Canada about 1868.
John and Catherine Mulleen died in Canada , however I can't find an obituary for either of them. Catherine, the mother is listed as a widow on the 1881 Canada census. The children listed with her are Thomas, Margaret, Edward and William, the son John is not listed so he must have died sometime between 1871 and 1881, he was listed as 5 years old on the 1871 census.
The son Thomas moved to the United States , probably between 1881 and 1888. The 1888-1889 Syracuse , NY city directory lists him livng at Turtle street , Syracuse , NY . He married Frances Shannon, and he died October 25, 1910. His obituary lists a sister Margaret Murphy, still living in Kingston Ontario , I cannot find anything on her in Canadian census records. I do belong to Ancestry.com and have checked Canadian census and obituraies for John, Catherine and the other children.

SKULLY / SCULLY / SMITH / BURRIS / DUNN
According to John Skully’s death certificate, his parents, Patrick Skully and Mary
Burrows were born in Ireland. This could be hearsay or the truth.
In 1845 St Marks register, Prescott John’s baptism confirms his parentage as Patrick
Scully and Mary Burris. Sponsors: Bridget Scully and Patrick Fox.
In the 1851 census John aged 8 is living with James and Catherine Dunn and listed as
adopted however in the 1861 census he is listed as a servant.
In 1865 John married Elizabeth Smith d/o Patrick Smith and Mary Brady of Shanly, Ont.
Whether John’s parents married in Ireland or Canada is unknown. We have no
information of their death.
Also unknown is whether John had any siblings. The 1851 census shows an Eliza Scully
aged 11 adopted by Ezra Odell but we have been unable to make any connection to John.
In the Leeds & Grenville News & View Vol. 10 No. 6 June 1984 at Ogdensburg,
Margarette Skully married William Mason both of Edwardsburgh, but again we have
found no connection.
We seek any information on Skully/Scully, Smith, Burris or Dunn families, particularly
family rumours of an adopted boy by the name of John.

STOCKDALE
I am looking for more information about my great great grandfather Richard Stockdale.
The following is what I know, so far:
Richard was married to Eliza Heagan (sp?) and they lived near Moy in County Tyrone.
She was born about 1821.
Her father was Daniel Heagan and her mother was Sarah Orr.
Eliza also had a brother Nathaniel Heagan, a sister Margaret and a sister Jane. Jane came to Canada and married John Wilson and she is supposed to be buried at Wist's cemetery near Campbellford. Nathaniel Heagen also came to Canada and is buried at Trenton. Daniel Heagen (Eliza's father) also came to Canada and is supposed to be buried at Amherst Island, near Kingston. I do not have verification of any of this.
Richard and Eliza had two sons, Richard (born Dec 12, 1844 in County Tyrone, but dates vary in different documents) and Nathaniel born about 1842. I do not know where or when Richard (Eliza's husband ) was born. He apparently immigrated to North America around 1851-3, to New York, but supposedly died before his wife and two sons arrived.
I do not know when he left Ireland for sure and when he died or where he is buried. Eliza and her two sons came to Canada in the 1850s. Eliza remarried a Samuel Cummings ( not sure if in Ireland or where) and they also had a daughter Sarah Jane Cummings.
Nathaniel and Richard used the name Cummings for a short while then changed their names back to Stockdale. Richard (born 1844) died in 1903 and is buried at Campbellford. He was my great grandfather.
I am particularly interested in finding out more about my great great grandparents, Richard and Eliza Stockdale and their Irish roots and immigration to Canada.
Any information about Eliza's family or marriage to Samuel Cummings would also assist in my search.
If you need any further information from me, please contact me.

WALDRON
We are trying to locate where the Waldron Family came from to North America. The Waldron's
first came to the United States of America 1700's. Then to Upper Canada circa 1799 to the
Quinte area. The original Waldron's to Upper Canada were Philip and /or Joseph Waldron. We
cannot find their burial place or where they came from originally.
Where would we locate their origin please, and if they were Irish Palatines?
We did not find them in the Irish Palatine Pioneers in Upper Canada: Commemorating 300 Years
1709-2009.
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
We have been researching our Family Histories since 1967. Our Canadian Centennial Project.
