I am looking for information about John Deyell and his wife, Magaret Lancashire, prior to them leaving Ireland.  The only information about them living in Ireland is from oral tradition and a plaque on the outside wall of the Protestant Hall, in Drum, County Monaghan.  They moved to Canada in the year of 1816.  John received a military land grant of 200 acres in what became Cavan Township.  John may have changed his surname from Dalziel to Deyell.  I am a Great Great Great Great Grandson of John and Margaret.

 

Thanks.
