I am going to assume you are from Douro, ON, Canada area. I live in Peterborough, ON & the following info is only part of the documentation in a book by Carol Bennett called "1825 Peter Robinson's Settlers". I purchased my copy from KARA..Kawartha Ancestral Research Association.
Michael Leahy 50
Ship: Fortitude, 1825
Origin: Brigown, Cork
Location: Lot 10, con 7, Douro twp
Family: Mary, 50 (nee Burgess)
Patrick 23 (m Bridget Condon)
Timothy 19 (m Catherine Sullivan)
David 17 (m Johanna Connors)
Dennis 15 (m Mary Moher)
Ellen 14
Abigail 13 (m Patrick Sheehan)
Judith 6 (m Henry Sheehan)
William 28 (m 1. Anne Meehan: 2. Ellen Walsh)
John 25 (m Johanna Tobin)
Ellen Burgess, Mary's widowed mother, also came to Canada. Michael Leahy's sons were given lots in Douro Twp but they all lived with him at first. There is considerably more in the write-up as well as photos...and you obviously come from a very talented musical family. Let me know if you are not able to purchase the book and I'll sent you the rest of the recorded history. KARA is located on High St. in Peterborough. Just let me know if you need any further info.
