Hi there You've probably tried this before but I thought I'd mention www.ingeneas.com. I went searching there and there are a couple of Patrick Mahers - not sure they would be your relative though. There are some Patrick Maguires that might fit. There is a Thomas Maghar in the census (not as a passenger record). http://www.ingeneas.com/ingeneas/index.html Harrington reveals a lot of names - it may take you a while to try to match the two together. I hope you are successful. Kathy Miller ON Canada From: Janet Prata Date: 05/21/06 10:04:57 To: TheShipsList-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TSL] PATRICK MAGHAR, & ? HARRINGTON - Ireland to Montreal My ancestor (great/great/grandfather) was named Patrick Maghar (or Patrick Maher) and came to Montreal anywhere from 1826 to 1846 (although most likely on the earlier end of that time frame). Patrick Maghar was from Tipperary, Tipperary County Ireland. He travelled with an Uncle, whose name was HARRINGTON (I'm assuming that's his last name-- we have no first name). Eventually Patrick travelled down to New York State, and settled in Monticello, NY, sometime before 1849. Does anyone know of passenger lists of ships traveling from Ireland to Canada at that time? Does anyone know what departure ports were commonly used in Ireland at that time? (Especially for someone from Tipperary)? Also, was Montreal a common port of arrival at that time? I am reading that Canada does not have good records of passenger lists at that time, and I have had difficulty finding lists of ships leaving ports in Ireland, bound for Canada. I'm still hopeful though! Thanks VERY much, Janet
