Looking for Timothy O"Connor, he was 39 and a blacksmith, his wife Elizabeth Greg was 37 when they left Ireland for Canada. The left in 1825 with the Peter Robinson Settlers. His children were, Elizabeth 19, Jane 17, William 14, Mary 11, Edmond 9, Ellen 6 and Margaret 3.
He is my great great great great great grandfather.
Thank you Gail O'Connor Dotson

Hi Gail,
As you posted in the Mallow board I suppose you expect that they came from Mallow county Cork?
Unfortunately there are no records available from before 1803 Mallow, I will have a look to see if there is a passenger listing somewhere as canada was very popular with the people from North Cork

Hi Gail. Your ancestors would have left Ireland before either the Tithes 1830 or Griffiths valuation 1850. I decided they would have left relatives in the area. I found Greggs in the tithes, Griffiths and in the 1901 census . They were in Buttavent Castlemagner and Doneraile. I looked up O'Connors/connors It was a much more popular name than Gregg. I will do some more research on this. The best of luck with your research. Kindest regards. Christina.
