Hi

I am reaching out to see if anyone can assist in my reserch of the Williamson family from Downpatrick, Down.

Thomas Williamson (baptized June 6, 1797) in Downpatrick Down, married Susan B Gray.  Thomas and Susan immigrated to Canada prior to 1840.  Possibly on ship called Douglas.

His parents were Henry and Jane Williamson.

His siblings included:  James 1801; Richard 1803; Samuel 1806; Henry 1808; Jane 1811 or 1815; and John 1817.

Thomas' and Susan's children included:  Isobel; Lisa; Mary Ann; Sarah, Susan, John 1822; Jane 1850 and my great great grandfather, (Thomas) James Williamson (1840 - born in Canada).  I have no information if any of the siblings immigrated to Canada.

They were likely Church of Ireland.

I will be travelling to Ireland this coming September and am wanting to connect with Williamson's who may be still in the area and possibly related.  I am also looking to try and find out where any of my ancestors may be buried.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my email and respond.

Kind regards

Wendy Williamson
