Shaking the Irish Family Tree from Canada

Hi there,

I'm working on my maternal family tree, and looking for information of the Close family, specific to descendants of James Watson Close and Susannah Hedley m.1866.  I know there were 2 sons, James W (my gr grandfather) and William.  Believe there were other children.  Any info would be very helpful....
