Hi All: I am new to this list and would like to post my interests. I have been searching for a long time trying to Find the place and birth of Thomas Fagan, his parents names, his date of marriage to Jane Smart as well as the birth of their son Thomas Jr. Any help is greatly appreciated. The following is what I know to date. 1) Thomas Fagan married Jane Smart where and when unknown (probably between 1846-1848 in County Down province of Cavan, maybe!!). The family in Ontario, Canada remember theie grandparents mentioning County Down and in Thomas Sr. death obit it says County Down, however exatly where to look has eluded me. 2) Thomas Fagan Jr. was born c 1846 (according to the Canadian census of 1851) however on other census he could have been born in 1847. 3) Thomas and Jane and son Thomas Jr. immigrated to Canada c 1847-48. Their second child Isabella was born in Canada in 1849 so we know Jane had Isabella shortly after arriving in Canada. 4) Thomas Fagan Sr. died Jan 27, 1896 Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, USA and is buried in Pine Grove cemetery. His wife Jane is also buried here, however her date of death is not known. 5) Jane Smart is the daughter of Samuel Smart and Martha Porter (both Samuel and Martha also immigrated to Canada about the same time as Thomas and Jane. Jane's place and date of birth is another mystery that I am trying to solve. bfn Joyce
