The spelling was changed to BURNS when my ancestor, Wm. J., crossed over the border into VT. He m. Daisy FOX in VT. and then they moved to Leominster, MA. Please let me know. Thanks, Marcia >> Hi Marcia and all, I'm looking for a GILBERT FRANKLIN BURNS "from" Sherbrooke, Canada (that's Quibec). The only spelling we have is "BURNS" but I guess that doesn't really mean much at this point. His parents are believed to be Thomas Arthur Burns and Ella (or Etta) Bailey. He married my grandmother, Grace Ella Follansbee (who was from Keene, NH) in Sherbrooke in 1919. They did live for a time in St. Johnsbury, Vt., where it is believed he had an uncle (no name, could be either side...). Believe Gilbert was born abt. 1896. Have been stuck on this for a long time, any information would be greatly appreciated! TIA. Mike Haskins

All my relations changed their names to Byrnes in the early 19900s. Most settled in Swampscott, Mass and Lynn, Mass.

Hi Mike: Your response to Marcia caught my curiosity - too many familiar names - here is what I have: John Burns b. 1820, Ireland >US abt. 1832-35 m. Mary Ann Kelly 1848-1850 PA. I don't know his parents or where in Ireland he was from altho' Mary Ann was from Shannon, Ireland. But a gentleman on this site mentioned alot of the Irish came into Quebec, some stayed other migrated south so am not sure just WHEN John came to the states - if he was in Canada first and then down or what. I first found them in the 1850 census in Monroe Co., Coolbaugh Twp., PA with an infant son b. 1850. But these are the names of John & Marys children: Francis (Franklin) b. 1850 PA Peter b. 1852 PA John Kelly Burns b. 1854 Ill. (my g..grandfather) Thomas b. 1856 Ill. ??? b. 1858 Ill Margaret (Maggie) b. 1860 Ill. Have been looking for a Franklin/Francis or Peter as maybe Johns fathers name - if they named the 1st son after the grandfather - or Peter. Could be Mary Anns father was Peter? I haven't seen a Francis or Franklin mentioned often so when I do it grabs me! Marilyn - Fla.
