Hi all, I've been following this list for years and now there appears an item that's close to my ancestors. Robert my 2nd Great-Grandfather and his wife Sophie came from Cork to Miramichi, NB in the early 1800 [no confirmed date] via Wexford. Maybe they appear on some of the records/documents you folks mention here. I would sure love to hear some confirmation of their departure/ship/etc. Thanks in advance for any and all assistance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data on Robert C Wigmore Robert C. was born in Ireland. Robert emigrated to Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada from the 'County of Wexford', Ireland {I believe Robert came from Cork}. Sophie [nee COOKE] and Robert were to move to Wigmore Road, PEI. They were the first settlers of this place from which it got its name. The known children of Henry & Mary [Cooke] Wigmore were: William, Henry W, Robert C, Thomas and an unnamed female. In Thomas' Will he mentions his brothers. Robert C immigrated to Canada. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... and I trust you're having a great day, Clarence Wigmore e-mail: [email protected] Researching: Abbott, Banks, Beaton, Bertram, Cook(e), Folland, Halliwell, Hogan, Ramsay, Read, Stevenson, Taylor, Weeks, Wigmore At 04:00 PM 2/9/2006, you wrote: >What a great question, one that has puzzled me for many, many years.

Hi Clarence: Have you ever looked in Wales for your Wigmore surname, If I remember there was a Wigmore Castle in the data when I was researching my Mortimer's that I thought were all from England. They settled in Newfoundland Edd Sinnett PS: are you related to Colin Ramsay from Tampa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Clarence" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 10, 2006 1:45 PM Subject: Re: [WEX] SAILING OUT OF WEXFORD > Hi all, > I've been following this list for years and now there appears an item > that's close to my ancestors.
