Lena just doesn't seem to fit in this time period or ethnic group ??? I think of Lena as being a slavic name.  Of course could have been after a friend or mid-wife.

Canada Lookup Requests Completed / Re: PRICE - maiden name, unsure of married name

Hi:  This is probably not a lot of help, but did see some family with name of Price in the Long Point Settlement in Upper Canada.  To reach this site try:

http://www.nornet.on.ca/~jcardiff

There is a section on BMD's.  Very interesting site if you want to know anything about Emprire Loyalists, early Canadian transportation modes, food, building, etc.  There were some people who settled in this area early who were not Emprire Loyalists.  The transcriptions of Tasher (not totally accurate) give some interesting points on the transportation modes, etc.  Lauraine

Hello:  It is me, Lauraine  some kind soul sent me information from IGI on Jessie Anderson Nichols's parents. Now have some vague idea of how to look up information on the IGI - still fumbling around there, but eventually will get the hang of it.   Have the address where the family lived in Arbroath, Scotland.  If anyone lives in this area and could actually visit and see if bldg. still stand would bv most grateful.  HAPPY HUNTING AND DON'T EVER GIVE UP.  Some kind soul will eventually turn up to help out.

Canada / Re: 1820's emigrates to canada

 Hi Liana:  Hope you have found something about the 1820 emigrants to Canada.  The major emigration occured in 1840's and 1850's from Scotland and Ireland.  1820's is still time of fur traders with French and some UK emigrants.  Gov't decided to try and get more emigrees mid century when fur trade was tapering off. 
Wanted to settle Manitoba to keep it from U.S. control - what better way than with British subjects, many Scots.  Not sure about the Irish who couldn't have been too happy with being starved off their meager crofts.  Mid century was the time of great famine in Ireland - also time of "famine ships".  Very sad reading - many Irish went to
Australia, U.S. as well as Canada.  Good hunting.  Lauraine

Are your Palmers from Bristol.  Not my family, but have some local info on Arthur Palmer, 1831-1924 m. Florence Felicia.  Also a couple of pictures in the local historical book.

Not sure if you are looking for Cdn. information or info in Ireland.  Have you tried looking at inGenea in Cda?  Another place is ships.list - tedious, but due to earliness might find something.  Have no idea where to look up anything in Ireland.  What about an Historical Society in Drummondville?  You probably know more about sources than me. Hv a great day.

Saw a Mary Anne DOOLE m. Josephp BRUNELLE, Xmas eve 1837 on Roots.Web Message Boards for Drummond, Quebec.  Later lived in St. Maurice, Champlain, Quebec.  You might want to check this out.  It was near the end of the boards.  Hope this helps.
