Armagh, Ireland John (1872-1956) b. Oxford Co., Ontario Walter (d. 1798) b. Ireland William John (1815-1886) b. Glasgow, Scotland If any of these names might be what you're looking for, I'd be glad to send you the rest of the entry. Rae --------------------------------- Post your ad for free now! Yahoo!
