I just learned my g-g-grandfather , Henry McSpaden , was an Alderman in New Brunswick . Henry was born in Ireland abt. 1831 and died May 10 , 1895 . I imagine an alderman is like a councilman . Would anyone have records that show when Henry was an alderman ? Would there be records in the New Brunswick city gov't ? I have been trying to learn where in Ireland he was born and any help would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo , Kevin
