Seeking information about George William Taylor , a jockey/groom who emigrated from England to USA in 1904 to work for Ogden Mills in New York.  Any info about his later life i.e where he ended up, did he marry etc. will be appreciated and acknowledged.

Hello Martin
My gg Grandfather, Justus Rutherford is purported to have fought at the Battle of Waterloo. He was born in County Leitrim, Ireland about 1778. I believe he may have been an officer and was given land in Canada after discharge. Do you have any info about him in your Waterloo database?
Many thanks

Essex / Re: Davey's from Brightlingsea/Colchester

Hello - I don't know if there is a connection here, but my g.grandfather John Carter, minister of the Congregational church in Braintree was married (November 1813) to a Phoebe Davey from Felsted. She was a widow who had been married to a James Perry. Phoebe died 5 April 1873 in Braintree. I do not know anything about the Davey Family and would appreciate hearing from you if you think there is a connection.
Regards

Hello

Would anyone be able to help locating a parish record of a baptism of John Thomas Hall in Lisnaskea/ Aghalurcher around 1854/55? He married Margaret McKeever on 9th January 1872 in Lisnaskea Church of Ireland.

I'd be very grateful for any help :)

many thanks

Fermanagh / Jackson Family, Lisnaskea
« on: Monday 22 September 08 11:28 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for information about Jackson family living in the Lisnaskea area late 1700's - early 1800's. Fathers name Robert Jackson, wife's name Elizabeth. Son Robert baptised in 1821, son George baptised 1825, Church of Ireland. Son Robert may be my g.grandfather who migrated to Canada abt. 1840 possibly accompanied by brother George. Also the possibility they were in a military unit deployed to Quebec. Any information gratefully received and acknowledged.

Hi Karen
His name was Robert Jackson. He evidently married in Montreal to Ann Gardiner, but I'm not sure whether he was still in the military at the time. Their 1st. child was born in 1845 - so presumably they were married between 1840-45.

Canada / British military units in Canada
« on: Wednesday 10 September 08 12:29 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know where I might find information about British Army units posted to the Montreal area in the early 1800's. My g.grandfather came to Montreal Canada from Ireland abt. 1840 with a British Unit - possibly the Royal Engineers. Any and all information appreciated.
