    3. I'm new to the list. Here's the information I have. Joseph Lockridge, 1792-1884, and his wife Elizabeth, 1802-1884, settled in Tamworth, Ontario, in 1846. They farmed Conc 9, lot 8, township Sheffield, County Addington, nine children, one of these being Joseph, 1830-1900. He married Isabella Girvin March 27, 1860 and they lived on a farm in East Wasanosh, Huron County, Ontario, until moving to Manitoba. Before arriving in Canada, they lived in Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland, and before that in Ayr, Scotland. It was on their change to Manitoba that the surname changed from Lockridge to Lockeridge." They had 14 children. Joseph, my grandfather, was born in 1867. Married Ada Whalley. Two children, Ellen, my mother, and Walter. Joseph and Ada both died quite young. Isabella Girvin was born about 1840 in Carrickfergus, Ireland, and came to Canada on a sailing ship (six weeks journey) at about 19 years old. Met Joe Lockeridge who also had come out from Ireland. Isabella died when she was about 78. They lived in Bethany, Manitoba. What I am trying, without any success at all, is where and when Joseph and Ada died and where they are buried. My mother was born in Brandon. The family farmed in several locations around Bethany. Nancy Butterfield in WA, USA
