Comments

  • Spouse's first name was Bridget (not Emily) although a daughter born in India was named Emely Bridget so the name Emily might be from a relative.

    Although Michael's death date in Canada is correct, his birth date could have been between 1843 - 1845.

    He left the British Army just before the 1881 England Census.  They had a daughter born in 1886 in Ontario, Canada.  

    However, I have never been able to find his/their emigration information.  Obviously was between 1881-1886.

    He must have had family in Ireland but I have found no records.  According to his marriage certificate his father was also named Michael.  I certainly hope that some of the family survived the famine.
