Surnames: O'Neill, Stocks, Trowbridge, Barker, Archer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/oI4.2ACIB/429.529 Message Board Post: My previous message was posted in 1999 and is now very outdated. The correct information is as follows: John Henry O'Neill/O'Neil born March 26, 1863 shows on the 1901 Census for Elizabethtown, Brockville, Ontario. According to the Census info, John Henry O'Neill was married to Frances Elizabeth (Barker), and they had 1 daughter Margaret Ellen/Helen O'Neill (my grandmother). John Henry O'Neill is showing a birthplace of USA and that he immigrated to Canada also in 1863 (as an infant?). Family lore has it that he had family in NY and was related to O'Neill performers in Vaudeville. John Henry also worked on one of the railway lines in the US, possibly out of Ogdensburg. John Henry O'Neill died in Kingston, Ontario in 1925 leaving his wife and now 2 daughters, Margaret and Anna. Anna O'Neill was born in 1906 and eventually married Irwin Lindblom from Rhode Island and lived her life in the USA. This John Henry O'Neill is my roadblock. He was born in the US and had a lot of family who remained there. I have no clue to any of the details of who his parents were or where he was born. He may not have come into Canada in 1863 as the Census indicated... his family could have switched back and forth across the border many times. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Sharon
