By 1875 they relocated to Comber, ONT, with first-born son, William J. About 1886, they and their 7 children moved to USA to downriver Detroit area called Delray. Family prospered from there. Searching for connection to Irish Halligans. Eliza's younger brother, Mark McFADDEN, came to Detroit about 1890, soon developed a very successful coal & ice business.
