Hello. Sorry for the delay in replying -- I'm way behind once more on my e-mails. I am interested in your reference below to RAMSEY. I have RAMSEYs, from adjoining County Fermanagh --- in the area around Irvinestown. Just across the nearby border in County Tyrone, such as in the parish of Makenny, it seems that some of these Fermanagh RAMSEYs moved to, lived, farmed, bred, etc. Perhaps your WILSON with the RAMSEY middle name, might have come from that area. Unfortunately, I do not have any knowledge of any WILSON / RAMSEY marriage; but my information is VERY limited. As a side-issue, after my John RAMSEY migrated to Australia in 1861, one of his daughters: Elizabeth Frances RAMSEY married in 1899 in Australia to a Joseph WILSON. His parents were Joseph WILSON and Eliza Jane IRVING (or IRWIN). I have never attempted to research those parents of his, but given the very strong patterns of chain migration in the area, and given that IRVING / IRVINE / IRWIN is a fairly common surname in the Irvinestown area of County Fermanagh, I should not be surprised if they also came from there. But please remember that this is pure supposition on my part.

Hi All, I have a Joseph RAMSEY, born about 02 May 1825 in Gorey, Donaghmore Parish, County Tyrone, father John RAMSEY. Joseph married a Margaret McATEER, born about 19 Feb 1829 in Mulnahunch, Killeeshil Parish, County Tyrone, father William McATEER. Joseph and Margaret were married 19 Feb 1850 in the Upper Clonaneese Presbyterian Church in Killeeshil Parish, County Tyrone and emigrated to the Pickering area in Southern Ontario, Canada raising 8 children, one of whom was my great grandfather John RAMSEY. I have no dates for Joseph's father John whose parents were possibly Patrick & Margaret (?) RAMSEY or for Margaret's father William McATEER who was possibly born in Scotland. I have been to County Tyrone twice in attempts to find move information but the availability of family history is very limited. Raymond CUDDY of Gory was most helpful during our second visit showing us family farm sites and the inside of the church where they were married.
