Leigh, Thank you for the information. It seems to have some merit if they came together. I think I am going to have to approach this from the aspect of Elizabeth Mahoney, William's wife, whose family was an early resident of Antigonish/Antigonish Harbour. Getting any information about Grosvenor residents is like pulling teeth. I have written to several places trying to find where the old records are kept and don't even get an answer. I don't know who to write to in Antigonish, but will pursue that. I have a copy of a Grosvenor census with James Patrick's family listed as well as other O'Neil's and Tate's ( James Patrick's wife was Charlotte Tate). But I don't know the relationships of these people - they all lived "next door the each other".
