Esther Eleanor Heal;
Esther Eleanor Heal was supposedly the daughter of Benjamin Heal of the gentry. An aunt saw the family crest which was passed down, in 1940's. Esther was born ca 1824 in England and married a William Sameul Stanton ll., a commoner,also born in England and was disowned from her family according to family lore.In about 1845 they sailed from England with a small child, Sarah, to Canada around Paris, Ontario.William died in an epidemic and Esther later married my G.G.grandfather Antoine Ocha(pronounced Oshea). The family eventually moved to Michigan in the US. A barrister came to Mich.to inform my g.great grandmother of her fathers death. For some reason my g.g.grandfather threw him bodily from their home and we have never found out why, unless it was because she married beneath her station. I would like to find out for sure who her parents were. Does anyone have a Benjamin Heal in their family or imformation of one.
