Down, Ireland. Their daughter Mary Sturgeon married Thomas Lockhart and they moved to Kinloss, Bruce Co, ON. They are my 3rd great grandparents. Thomas Lockhart's sister Ann Jane Lockhart, b. 1820 married William McMurray, b. 1818. Their granddaughter Emma McMurray, b. 1883 married James Sturgeon and they are the parents of Lockhart Sturgeon. As you can see there is a major connection between the Lockharts and the Sturgeons. Kinloss is just a few miles south of Kincardine, so there could well be a connection with the Kincardine Sturgeons too. Does anyone know the names of James Sturgeon's parents (Emma McMurray's husband)? Does anyone have a deeper background on William Sturgeon, Jane Lewis' husband? They are from County Tyrone, but that is right beside Co Armagh and County Down. By the way, my Sturgeons and Lockharts are all Protestants, and I'm sure the County Tyrone ones are too.
