Ferns - Montreal, Canada
Hi.
I'm searching for info (and willing to share info) on the following family.
John Ferns, b. Bet. 1820 - 1823 (most likely Ireland, Co. Clare maybe, but could have been Scotland), d. September 1849 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.Immigrated in the 1830s.
John Ferns married Catherine Shannon (b. Bef. 1823 ?, d. 1844 in Montreal).
Children of John Ferns and Catherine Shannon included:
Margaret Ferns, b. Ca. 1836, d. June 22, 1900
John Ferns, b. ?, d. May 06, 1919 (not sure that this is a son)
Margaret Ferns, m. Thomas Sexton (b. Ca. 1832) on Jan. 12, 1857 in Montreal.
Children of Margaret Ferns and Thomas Sexton include:
Katherine Sexton
Maude Sexton
Estelle Flornece Sexton
Hanry William Sexton
Agnes E. Sexton
Marie Louise Sexton
Alice Sexton
Gertrude Mary Harlina Sexton
I have come across a couple of other John Ferns (in case it might help anyone) as follows:
Found a John Ferns who emigrated 9/6/1831 on ship Francis from Scotland:
