John Davis Spice Miller in Montreal
I hope someone can help me I am stuck.John Davis was a spice miller it is on every document in which I find him (baptism, census records etc...)I believe he was married twice because his son James Davis (my husband's ggf) was born in 1854 in Ireland according to census information.Yet John Davis wife Margaret Haley would have been already in Canada at the time of James' birth and also she would have been about 11-13 years old.I can't find any marriages for John to either Margaret Haley (possibly Healy,) or a first wife.I did find some evidence to a first marriage for John to a Mary Bergin through the marriage certificate of a said Margaret Elizabeth Davis m. Michael Carroll in 1886 in Montreal.Margaret states her father is John Davis spice maker and her mother is deceased Mary Bergin.I haven't found any other John Davis spice miller/maker through the Montreal directories.Margaret was in the USA before her marriage, in fact, she states being born in the USA about Feb 8, 1861.Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.
