Lawrence McGuire, born in 1808, emigrated to Quebec Canada, married there in 1833 and has descendants.

Family records state that Lawrence McGuire, born in 1808, was a waterboy in the English Army in the battle against Napoleon at Waterloo, then he emigrated to Canada. He married Anne McAvoy, who came from St. Roche-en-ville in Quebec, in Notre Dame Basilica in Quebec City on 7 May 1833. They are parents of five children:  James, Patrick, Mary Anne, John, and Lawrence James McGuire. The father, Lawrence McGuire died in Quebec City according to the records of St. Sauveur Parish, on 12 March 1894 and he is buried in St. Sauveur Cemetery. His wife died 7 January 1881 according to the parish records and also is buried in St. Sauveur Cemetery in Quebec City.  I am descended from Lawrence James McGuire (born 25 January 1848 who died 15 January 1896 in Quebec City) who married Theresa McCaffrey (born 7 November 1853 in Quebec and died 17 August 1894 in St. Sylvestre, Lotbiniere, Quebec) on 25 January 1882 in St. Anne parish in Montreal, Quebec. I am seeking data about the family in Ireland. I don't have emigration data, nor church data. I believe the McGuire family was Protestant and that Lawrence James McGuire later became Roman Catholic in 1884 after his marriage.
