Leitrim / James Johnston (1759-1855)

Hi

I'm in Canada. My son and I have been working on our family tree. Everything goes well on this side of the ocean, but as soon as my ancestors emigrate from Europe, I lose the trail.

We are definitely descendents of James Johnston (1759-1855) and Catherine (1765-1840) who emigrated from Leitrim Ireland to New Brunswick Canada. After that, we're stuck. I think Catherine's maiden name may have also been Johnstone. And I'm pretty sure that either James or Catherine has a parent who was a LLOYD.  From other trees, I have seen the parents as JOHN JOHNSON and BRIDGET LLOYD, but no definite link

Does anyone know of a James Johnston who emigrated to Canada from Ireland in ~1780?

Sussex / Descendent of Chase Edmunds (1747-1835)

Hi .... I'm new to RootsChat.

I live in Canada, but my grandparents emigrated from England around the time of the first world war. My son and I have been building our family tree. We managed to chase it back to John Edmunds (1801-1883) in Sussex, but then we lose steam.  We have potential ancestors, but no hard proof.

I think that John Edmunds (1801-1883) is the son of John Edmunds (1777-??) is the son of Chase Edmunds (1747-1835) and Ann Hawkins. Is there anyone who knows anything about Chase Edmunds and Ann Hawkins who can help me sort this out?
