James SMITH
« on: Sunday 20 March 16 19:30 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the information on James SMITH and family. According to census records in Canada he was born some time around 1827. According to a newspaper record on James Smith Jr. (1862- 1948) he was born in Belfast and immigrated as a young child. James Sr. was married to Elizabeth, however, there seems to be some confusion in regards to her maiden name. Some records suggest MacCauly, others McCartney or Colley.

Known children from this marriage include: Sarah (b: 1844 - Ireland), James (b: 1862 - Ireland), Elizabeth (b: 1864 - Ireland), and Mary Ann (b: 1865 - Canada). However, if these records are correct James would have been 17 at the time of Sarah's birth. Census records suggest that she was born in 1857, however, according to her gravestone, she was born in 1844.
