dna. I have recently discovered my ancestor Laurence Rice came from Tipperary. From the Canadian census I found he was born around 1797. I found a Laurence Rice with the same spelling born in 1793. I did not find any other with the same name in the same time period. He married Jane Margaret Kennedy born around 1802. There were too many with the same name as hers to connect with my family. Can anyone help with this? I don't know if they married before going to Canada. I have done my DNA with Ancestry but it doesn't point to any particular area in Ireland.
