I'm looking for any information on JAMES PHELAN. James was born in Ballyragget, Co. Kilkenny, around the year 1810. He came with his phamily to Stratford, Ontario, Canada, in 1831. Our Phamily tradition tells us that JAMES left Ontario, Canada somewhere between 1850 and 1870. JAMES may have been married to BRIDGET TIERNEY, but we aren't sure about that. They may have had at least two children: MARY PHELAN born December 29, 1863; ELIZABETH PHELAN born April 29, 1866 in the Goderich, Ontario area. Supposedly, JAMES moved to somewhere in Illinois. We don't know where. Any help would be appreciated. Raymond John Phelan
