I am going to assume you are from Douro, ON, Canada area.  I live in Peterborough, ON & the following info is only part of the documentation in a book by Carol Bennett called "1825 Peter Robinson's Settlers".  I purchased my copy from KARA..Kawartha Ancestral Research Association.

Michael Leahy  50
Ship:            Fortitude, 1825
Origin:         Brigown, Cork
Location:      Lot 10, con 7, Douro twp
Family:         Mary, 50 (nee Burgess)
Patrick          23  (m Bridget Condon)
Timothy        19  (m Catherine Sullivan)
David            17  (m Johanna Connors)
Dennis          15  (m Mary Moher)
Ellen             14
Abigail          13   (m Patrick Sheehan)
Judith            6    (m Henry Sheehan)
William         28  (m 1. Anne Meehan: 2. Ellen Walsh)
John             25  (m Johanna Tobin)

Ellen Burgess, Mary's widowed mother, also came to Canada.  Michael Leahy's sons were given lots in Douro Twp but they all lived with him at first.  There is considerably more in the write-up as well as photos...and you obviously come from a very talented musical family. Let me know if you are not able to purchase the book and I'll sent you the rest of the recorded history.  KARA is located on High St. in Peterborough. Just let me know if you need any further info.

Thanks for the responses.  Unfortunately, I don't think we're connected.  Mary Butler (born 1829) married Michael Farrell here in Canada in 1865.  I have not been able to come up with any info as to where John Butler & Mary Luby were married, or the year, but know that two of the children (oldest Mary & youngest James) were baptized in Bansha parish.  Still hoping someone will be able to make a suggestion to point me in the right direction...

There is a John Butler (gent) listed on the 1839 Tipperary Lease/Landholders in Clonmel (Borough)..index #5..Ref# 16.
Does anyone have any info on this gentleman or know how I could find out more about him?

Hoping someone can help me to find information on my gggrandparents John Butler & Mary (Luby) Butler.  Mary Luby was born c1805 but not sure of John's DOB.  They were married c1827 and had 6 children..Mary, Pierce, Julia, Margaret, John & James.  I have found baptismal records for Mary (1829) & James (1838) in Bansha Parish.  Unfortunately, neither record lists an address or occupation for their parents, John & Mary Butler.  Family stories passed down say Mary Luby was from Clonmel & was possibly a lady in waiting or some similiar position in a household.  She was shunned by her family when she married John who was Catholic.  Supposedly, we are somehow connected to the Butlers of Kilkenny but not exactly sure how.  It is said John was murdered, crucified to a barn door by British soldiers and this was witnessed by the family.  Mary then came, as a widow, c 1840 with her six children to Ontario, Canada.  I have been successful in locating several relatives in Canada & the US but really need to find our Irish roots.    Thanks....Kathy
