Darby was born in 1830 in Roscommon and came to canada in about 1850 during the famine.He travelled on a ship we beleive called the Mayfair.He was one of six siblings born to Francis P Featherstone, Featherston, Fetherston, Francis died about mid 1800's before the trip accross.His wife died on the trip over.Common names in that generation are Barnus, Hugh, Jane or Janet, Mary, Margaret.Hugh had a 50 year old woman liveing with him who was not listed as his wife also named Featherstone.I'm thinking Minnie may have been one of the siblings as well.
Any of this ring any bells?
