Hi David and All, Interesting snippit of immigration history. I have gotten just so far with this family and seem to be at a standstill. My experience researching in Ontario is limited. My husband's great grandfather, William John Hunter, was Irish and a weaver who lived in Wilfrid (near Cannington, Brock Township, old Ontario County) in 1871 census. He said he was born 6 October 1838 in the USA according to that census.His wife, Jane Elizabeth McKee,(born 1837, daughter of Samuel McKee) however was born in Ireland. Their first child, Mary Ann Hunter, was said to have been born in Georgina Township on 1 September 1864. I have several questions: 1. Where is Georgina Township? Is it near Brock? 2. What work would have there been for a weaver at that time in that particular area? 3. Is there any list of Irish immigrants who immigrated to a given locality? 4. Would it have been advantageous to one was born in USA rather than Ireland? Bev in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
