Owen O'Connor, born 1802, married Eleanor Roberts, born 1801. I do not know where they are from in Ireland. They had 3 children I think: Hugh, Jeremiah, and Sarah. They moved to the Ottawa area around the latter years of 1840 something. They settled in the Dwyer Hill area near Ottawa Ontario. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi
Thank you for your message. Do you know much about their emigration? The dates, the reason why they left, who they may have travelled with?..etc..Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. Liverpool, New York, etc.), this could be a good place to find more information. -And perhaps even find out an exact place of origin.
Some sites which may be useful for you are:
