I have been trying to find the birth location of my g-g-grandfather for many, many years. I have no idea what to pursue next. I check out most links that have been offering over the years, no conclusions. Henry W. Williams born 1822 Ireland, he is Protestant/Church of England. He immigrates to Canada. He is married in St. James Cathedral in Ontario, Canada 1856. Makes his way to New York City area and is found in 1860 with wife and child. His wife Margaret McAndrew is born 1837 NY (Irish Parents). Although I have yet to find a census on her in NY. Henry's American Civil War records only indicate "born Ireland." I believe that he was born in the North of Ireland. He could read and write. He was a successful carpenter in both Canada and NYC area. I was hoping for a course of research that I could pursue. Most avenue's that I have taken come up with "born Ireland" or immigrated from "Canada." I would not rule out a trip to Northern Ireland if that would yield any results. I have been stuck for years now and need guidance. Thank you very much for any consideration that may be given to this request. Lynn
