Andrew McDermott (abt.1801-abt.1899) IRE>CA>USA>CA
Hello,
I am searching for any reference to my GG-Grandparents. We are going to Ireland over Easter and I would love to make research on my fathers side part of the visit. I just don't know where to start. I have done a great deal of research on my mothers side both from here and over there, but have not had any luck on my fathers side finding connections.
My GG Grandfather was Andrew McDermott (abt. 1801 - abt. 1899).
He married Nancy Carson in Ireland.
They had eight children that I know of: John Carson (1838-1909, I have more info. here), Nancy (prob. married Joe Carson), Matthew (married, but unk.), Andrew (never married), Isabella (married Andrew Harper), Hugh C. (married Margaret McLean, I have more info. here), Elizabeth (married Donald McLean, I have more info here) and Joseph (married Fannie Ferris, settled in Manitoba, later moved to Winnipeg and started a general contracting business which his sons carried on). Some of these children were born in Ireland.
Andrew, Nancy and (I assume all or most of) the family moved to the U.S. (prob. the South-West, TX or New Mexico Territory). At some point Nancy died and Andrew went back to Canada. He remarried and had more family. One son was named James.
Does ANY of the information I have laid out above ring any bells?
I look forward to any replies. Also, could you please also respond directly?
Sincerely,
Bill McDermott
