IRELAND>NY>ST CATHARINES, LINCOLN TWSP
Looking for:
William(Wm H)WILSON (some childrens' records list "WILLSON")
born ca. 1793 (possibly ARMAGH) IRELAND
died before 1881@ abt 88 years in Lincoln, ON region.
married Hannah(Anna)DOUGAN born ca. 1807-1811, IRELAND died 1894 St. Catharines, Lincoln, Ontario.
It was suggested to me that the family first emigrated to New York where some of the children (including John and likely daughter Mary A. and Harper) stayed behind when the rest moved to St. Catharines.
There are other DOUGANS connected to Hannah (Anna)
Robena
Thomas
The Wilsons and some DOUGANS may have lived in NY before moving to St. Catharines, Lincoln, Ontario region.
A post I found by Larry Stackhouseseems to fit but his email seems to be invalid:
