I am the adopted great-great-granddaughter of a John McMahon who ended up in Ontario Canada after immigrating in about 1852. According to a family Bible, John McMahon was born August 21, 1821 in "Ireland" - no county names appear on any record. He married Elizabeth McKee (also bornin Ireland 1826 - 1879) on Oct 23 1848 in a Presbyterian service, in Ontario, Canada and then went back to Liverpool. After losing 3 children, they returned to Canada and had a bunch more kids including my great-grandfather James John. The names James, Mary, Robert, Elizabeth and John reappear in the family. The only possible family I could find were Phill and Mary who had a 5yr old James, and a baby John in the 1821 Census in (Drumnevegh?) Lavey, County Cavan. I'm looking for more clues. After tracing John this far, I have really hit the wall.
