What a wonderful gesture! I am searching for Edward "Gilbert" DEARING b. 1796 and his wife Eliza GLEESON b. 1816. We know that they came to Canada between the birth of my g-grandfather and his next sibling which would make it between 1846 and 1853. Judging from stories, we think that my g-gramps was a small child of perhaps 2 to 5 years when they came out here making it between 1848 and 1853. The children accompanying them would be, in order of age, Mary Ann -1838, Robert - abt 1843, and Edward -1 Dec 1846. Two more children were born here, we believe. They were William Hugh- 1853and John- 1856. We think that they were always farmers. They were from county Armagh in Ireland. Any help that you can provide would be deeply appreciated.
