Searching for information about my ggg grandfather John Burgess, born 1766, in the Dairies, Co. Fermanagh. Here is what I know so far: John Burgess b 1766 m Margaret Irvine also born in the Dairies. They had Mary Burgess b 1806 m James Welsh (or Walsh) She died 1869 Jane Burgess b 1808 m John Earls and possibly second marriage to ? Wilson Elizabeth Burgess b 1810 m William Macutchion Arthur Burgess b. 11812 m Mary Balfour . He died 1873 Ann Burgess b 1816 William Broddy, and possibly second marriage to ?Mayhew John Irvine Burgess b 1820 m Nancy Irvine He died 1890 James G. Burgess b 1824 d 1904 Margaret Burgess b 1829 m Nov 24, 1850 James Little, son Job James, Mary Jane, John Irvine and Ann emigrated to Ontario and settled in and around Woodstock, Oxford Co. Arthur may have come later. I have a copy of a letter dated 1847 from John Burgess to his daughter Ann and there are other names of the region mentioned, which might interest someone else researching the Dairies. John Sr. died in 1850 at sea. Did that mean he was coming to Canada? His father's name was Arthur Burgess, but I have no more information about him. Is there anyone who has information on this family? There must be some descendants still living in Ireland, possibly still in the Dairies. I would like to hear from someone in Ireland or in Ontario. Thanks for your help. Terri Alcock, Victoria, BC, Canada
