Monaghan / Re: Matilda Steinson and Patrick Connolly elopement

Thank you for the information. I'm sure Steenson could be a variation. I wonder if 10 acres would require a farm hand ? I can find no birth or baptism records for Matilda Steinson. Not a surprise if she were Catholic. Really quite a mystery woman. All we know for sure is they eloped and ended up on PEI in Canada, Lot 39, King's County, Sinnott Road - both listed as Irish on the census forms. She survived until after the 1891 census and Patrick survived until after the 1901 census. Here is some of their offspring info from Prince Edward Island. With the oldest named John Bernard, I wonder if her father was named Bernard?
