Hi Nancy,
I still have found nothing on the original O'Conner family that came over from Cork, Ireland in about 1825.My gggrandfather, his parents and siblings and children of a first marriage in Ireland.He supposedly was named John Henry and the "O" was dropped in Canada.He remarried supposedly to an Elizabeth Steadman from Drummond?Her family came from England and had department stores, one in Perth.My ggrandfather, Charles Conners was born in 1840 in Burrits Rapids.I know he had sibblings and half sibblings but have located none of them.I think the Elizabeth Conners b. abt. 1845 and married Alexander Yuill was his sister.He named his own daughter Elizabeth Yuill after her.I have from Charles on down.I can't be sure John Henry and Elizabeth were Charles parents.One of Charles sons had his grandfather as Charles also.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
