Tim, I read your message, and like Heather, thought that Peaslee should be Paisley, but did not pick up on the New Ireland until I read her response. There is an area which was and is known as New Ireland or New Erin, just to the north of Huntingdon, QC in the Chateauguay Valley, south west of Montreal. Robert Sellar's History of Huntingdon, Chateauguay and Beauharnois, lists the first settlers of lots in the area, and in the Township of Godmanchester, on the 4th Range, lot 10, he shows Jas. and Thos. McCartney. He lists the 3rd Range as New Ireland, but the name seems to have been used for the area in general. From his text on the settling of New Ireland, there is no mention of McCartneys, but the first settlers mentioned were in about 1822, some of the first from Derry, Ireland, including the Sparrow family. For about 20 years it was known as the Sparrow Settlement. The settlement filled up quickly, and was divided between Protestant and Catholic Irish. I can find no mention of the names Amadon or Thurber. I have access to an index to the microfilmed records of the Protestant Churches of the District of Beauharnois, from about 1830 to 1899, which cover this area. The films are available through the LDS family history centres. I can find no McCartney (or the other names) records from the New Ireland area in the index. Do you know if they were Catholic? There may be other areas in Quebec called New Ireland, but at least you have the name McCartney here. A check for Catholic records would seem to be in order. Bill Brady

Can anyone tell me whether I am on the correct list to enquire about this area. Does it still exist or has it been renamed. Are there any sites that might give me information about the 1820"s in this region. Many thanks Polly

Tim: Can I suggest that Agnes was probably born in Paisley, Scotland -- the Peaslee sounds like the phonetic version -- it is a large town, not far from Glasgow...My mother is a McCartney from the Glasgow area, but there are many many. My family, like most McCartneys originated in Northern Ireland.

Hello Lin Wright, The following may add to your confusion. Read your query on QC-ETANGLO, and checked our computer database. This is what we have for the two marriages of Thomas Davidson, first to Sophia Hogg and second to Ann Bain. Also have some details not included here. We do not have a Thomas Davidson married to a Jane Annesley. What was their marriage date, if you know? We are presently out of town, away from our records, but can use our e-mail.

if any one is searching a Percy family from ET Quebec I may have some info for you joe

The early DAVIDSONs have me confused. The Thomas DAVIDSON who married Sophia HOGG in 1833 and Ann BAIN in 1861 is apparently the George Thomas DAVIDSON who is son of George Thomas DAVIDSON and brother of Robert Thomas DAVIDSON who Phoebe ALDRICH. Who was the Thomas DAVIDSON who married Jane ANNESLEY and had 5 children in Inverness 1838-1845. Did [George] Thomas marry 3 times or is this a different Thomas? The names of the children, George, Robert, Sophia, Agnes, Thomas all suggest a connection to the other family, and the absence of children for [George] Thomas and Sophia (HOGG) DAVIDSON lead me to think she may have died before 1838.

Just wondering if anyone has anything to connect to the following: George and Sarah MCCARTNEY from Glasgow Scotland has a daughter Agnes MCCARTNEY b. Aug 20 1820 Peaslee Scotland. She married Charles Reily AMADON son of John AMADON and Sarah THURBER on Dec 6 1841 in New Ireland, Quebec. Ring any bells? Tim
