My ancestors emigrated from Northern Ireland in the early 1800s and settled around Thorne Quebec, my ggrandfather and grandfather had a farm in Ladysmith, Quebec (outside Shawville). My gggfather was James Lang, who married Mathilda Prendergast. My grandfather was Earl Lang, married to Esther Desjardins from Beachburg. Many of the Langs (a huge family)were farmers and loggers on the Ottawa. I will go back to my records and see if indeed there is a George in the flock. He is not a brother of my grandfather's, but could be a ggg uncle. I live outside of Carleton Place and know that the Purdy name is very common in Lanark/Carleton counties.

I am in search of the link of George Lang and Mary Jane Purdy. We know that George and Mary Jane married about 1860 but I am trying to find out how they met. I have a few LANG records but not quite enough to put it all together. George and Mary Jane are buried some place near here but I have yet to find out where. George's son William is my Grandfather and William's sister Jane is June Andrews' grandmother. Where did the Langs live, work, go to church in the 1850s that allowed George to meet and marry Mary Jane Purdy?

Thanks Leslie, I attended a funeral for a colleague's father about 5 years ago in Quyon and couldn't help but notice all of the Lang headstones in the cemetery. I am not aware of any connection to that area but I do not rule anything out! My Langs are definitely of Scottish heritage as both the Canada Census and an extract from the Registry of Deaths for Ontario indicate this. There are several James' in my tree so please let me know what you come up with. Thanks!
