Hi All, Here is my problem. Catherine Nugent was born in Ireland abt 1833, county unknown . She came to Canada with her parents John Nugent and Sallie Nailley (?)on a sailing ship about 1839. According to the family story both parents and her brothers drowned. She was left alone. I don't know who raised her, but another story probably not true was that she was raised by some gypsies. She left them at age 17 and married Andre Beaulieu in St. Basile, New Brunswick, Canada. Any ideas on how to find the ship They came on, where in Ireland she was from and if the spelling of the names are correct? I haven't a clue where to start. Thanks in advance for any and all ideas. Marie
