They came from Nuneaton in Warwicksire,England. Their 1st child, Mary Ann, my Gr grandmother, was born 14 Aug 1962, on Amherst Island. I am trying to find any information about their arrival in Canada. I am also interested in learning why the landed on Amherst Island.Was Kingston a port where ships landed at that time or would they have arrived at Quebec or Montreal and made their way to Kingston? Any information greatly appreciated. Regards, Jim.
