Hello everyone,

I'm new here, having discovered only a couple of weeks ago that my ancestor, John FALLAHEE b. 1798, came from your beautiful parish. He joined the British army in 1804, was shipped out the following year to Quebec and fought in the war of 1812-14, finally acquiring land in a place that is now part of Ottawa, then moving to a small town. John married Ellen BURNS, also from Ireland -- I don't know where. They became pioneers in Canada.

John joined and served in the 100th Regiment of Foot. His children all spelled their surname FALLAHAY. This name is spelled many different ways, a fact that makes it hard to search. I would be grateful for help in any direction to find out more about this family. I'd also be willing to share information with anyone who may be looking for relatives with this unusual surname in Canada.

Many thanks,

Karen
