The 1871 Census data was very helpful as was the information you provided from the 1900 Census of Maine. Ann's father Michael Carroll was indeed born in Ireland about 1791 and her mother Phebe in NB about 1797 - based on 1851 NB Census. Michael settled in the Memramcook area of NB and I could not establish any NB links with the Carrolls in Botsford parish. The connection would have to be back in Ireland. Thanks for the note on Hannah Balard from Botsford Parish. She might be related to Robert Ballard - Ann's husband. I suspect these Ballards came from Cumberland County, NS - from the general Wallace/Pugwash area. Gary from Nova Scotia Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
