I have noted that in the 1850 census for my Bernard Oatis/Oatis/Oats and his family, there is a small child, Mary A. Evans, 8, birthplace, New Brunswick. I'm wondering if this family may have come to NYC via Canada since they have in this household this small child from what I'm believing to be Canada. Any thoughts? Also, is there a place to check Canadian immigration records? Thanks so much! Elizabeth Culhane Fairport, New York

Hi Elizabeth, If you have access to the 1850 census for New York could you please see if there is a James McVeigh in either New York City or Newburgh, NY? He would be about 17 years old and would be from Northern Ireland, perhaps Co. Armagh or Co Down. Thank you for any help you can give.
