Good day, I am looking for any information in Armagh, Armagh, Ireland on the John Cherry, Margaret Wilson Family whose children were born in Armagh, Armagh, Ireland. John Cherry b. July 26, 1805. married November 12, 1830 Margaret Wilson, who was born June 27, 1806 Ireland.
The family then moved on to Dublin; the whole family then immigrated to Ontario Canada in 1850/1851. The Father and Mother, John and Margaret (Wilson) Cherry each died within a year of moving their nine children to Ontario Canada. John was not able to find employment in Textile industry and was about to return to Ireland when he received word his wife died. He then stayed in Canada, but died within the year himself. The older children helped to support and raise their younger siblings.
