I am looking for information regarding a William O'Neil who immigrated some time before 1841. He was in the Antigonish, Antigonish Co. Nova Scotia, Canada, where he married Elizabeth Mahoney ( I believe he was single when he arrived but not at all sure about that). He had a son, James Patrick, born 1841. They moved to Grosvenor, Guysborough Co, Nova Scotia, Canada when James Patrick was very young. William may have had other children, one of whom may have been Samuel, and another, James. I have no idea where my James Patrick came in the order of births, so can't give a closer approximation of when William lived in Antigonish or any circumstances before 1841. James Patrick's obituary mentions that his father, William, was from "Wexford" Ireland. I don't know if that means the city or county of Wexford - I have gone on the assumption that it was County. The family seems to have named children after other members of the family. James Patrick had children named: Edward Samuel James William Mary twins: Annie and Elizabeth I have more informaton but nothing about immigrant William. Any help would be apreciated.
