Ireland / Reynolds Migrated to Canada - Looking for Parish
« on: Wednesday 10 May 17 04:10 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to track down the parish / village for my 3rd Great-Grandfather.  His name was James Reynolds, born in Ireland around 1799, married Elizabeth Campbell around 1825 and had a son Samuel born 1827 in Ireland.  They emigrated to Canada around 1830 and had a daughter Ann in 1832 (my 2nd great-grandmother) and a son James in 1836. They were Church of Ireland.

Does anyone have any information about this family that might help me determine the parish or village of origin?

Thanks for any help.

Derry (Londonderry) / Reynolds -Desertlyn Parish

I am trying to track down the parish / village for my 3rd Great-Grandfather.  His name was James Reynolds, born in Ireland around 1799, married Elizabeth Campbell around 1825 and had a son Samuel born 1827 in Ireland.  They emigrated to Canada around 1830 and had a daughter Ann 1832 (my 2nd great-grandmother) and a son James in 1836.

I've done some research that shows Reynolds families in Ballymully and Carrandarragh townlands in the Desertlyn parish in the 1831 census with first names James and Samuel. They were Church of Ireland.

Does anyone have any information about these families that would help determine if they might be the fit for my family in Canada?

Thanks for any help.

I have a school picture of my grandfather's class in Sweden but unfortunately don't know which person is the photo is him.  Is there any service that would compare that photo to photos of my grandfather as a man and identify him?

Somerset / West Hatch / North Curry - Wood and Turner
« on: Wednesday 03 August 16 05:35 BST (UK)  »
My 3rd Great Grand mother was Sophia L Wood (or Woods) born May 1836 in England.  She married George Gill Day (who was from Stoke St. Gregory) in Plymouth on April 15 1855 and emigrated to Canada with him that year.  With help provided by kind souls to a previous post of mine I have managed to uncover most of George Gill Day's family tree.  Now I am trying to track down Sophia's ancestors

Her father is listed as William Wood, carpenter.  Her residence at time of marriage was 24 Hampton St, Plymouth.  I believe the L stands for Louisa as that is the name of her first daughter.

Based on data base research to date I believe it is most likely that her father was William Wood, born 1806 in Exeter, Devon who married Mary Turner in West Hatch on 14 Mar 1833 and then later married Charlotte in 1865.  Charlotte and their first two children are marked as born in North Curry in the 1871 census with the two youngest born in West Hatch.

Using ancestry.ca, the only record of a Sophia Wood (birth place North Curry) that I can find is in the 1851 census where there is a Sophia Wood age 13 who is a servant to a Sarah Webber in Taunton.

Any help would be much appreciated as I seem to have hit a dead end on this one.

Somerset / Day / Barrington - Stoke St. Gregory
« on: Monday 01 August 16 21:53 BST (UK)  »
My 3rd Great-Grandfather was George Gill Day (emigrated to Canada in 1855), son of James Day and Mary (daughter of Samuel Barrington) born July 1835 in Stoke St. Gregory as per birth record.  I believe he has a brother James Barrington Day who came to Canada in 1860. 

Marriage certificate indicates George was living in Stoke St. Gregory with father James Day.  I have found 1841 and 1851 census records for a family in Stoke St. Gregory with father James and sons George and John with the right birth years but these records show the mother as Ellen or Elinor Day.  Have found record that Ellen Day died in 1858 and later census records show a James Day with a second wife Mary.

Is is possible that Ellen and Mary are the same person?  Would Ellen be a nickname?

Any help much appreciated.

Kilkenny / Diocese of Ossory Marriage Bond Henry Kinch and Frances Roberts 1811
« on: Saturday 04 June 16 23:10 BST (UK)  »
My Kinch ancestors emigrated to Canada in 1830's - two brothers Edward and William.  I am researching a possible connection to a Henry Kinch who may have stayed behind in Ireland and married Frances Roberts in 1811.  I am looking for any information on this Henry and Frances Kinch and their ancestors.

Thanks in advance for any help,

England / Harry Welch - Born 10 Dec 1851 in England
« on: Tuesday 16 February 16 03:26 GMT (UK)  »
Harry Welch was my 2nd great-grandfather. He arrived in Canada from England around 1867-1870; married Louisa Day in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1878 and was living in Saskatchewan Canada in 1911 and 1916. Profession was contractor / engineer. It is possible he was with the English army stationed in Quebec.

I am looking for any information that could help me determine where in England he was born - I do not have any location information. UK 1861 census has a number of Harry or Henry Welch of the right age.

Thanks in advance,

Carlow / Kinch Family - Barragh Parrish, Co Carlow
« on: Thursday 11 February 16 16:26 GMT (UK)  »
I am descended from a William Kinch (Protestant) born around 1790 in Ireland who emigrated to Canada with his sons (one named John) in the 1830's.  We do not have record of their home in Ireland but suspect it could be Co Carlow.  Tithe applotment records from 1825 show a John Kinch and a William Kinch in Kilbrannish, Barragh and a John Kinch in Carrigduff, Barragh.  Any ideas on how I could further research whether these are my ancestors?

I looked for church record availability and it seems the Barragh records were destroyed.  Is that correct?

Thanks for your help,
