Jane Hawkins, b 1842, Plymouth, England
Hello.I have just started my seach for my great-great grandmother's history.She was born in 1842 in Plymouth, and married John Joyce (b 1835 in Paris, France) who was a sailor and veteran of the Crimean War.They came to North America some time just before 1876 (from Ireland, I understand) and eventually settled in Canada.I have a lot of information from that point forward but none from before her arrival in Canada.If anyone has information or suggestions on where I might start, I would be very thankful.
