There probably isn't any connection here, but the names were so familiar I thought I would send along my Hanna/Park history that I know of.
James Hanna b. Sept. 10/1863 was married to Mary Jane Park b. April 28, 1862.They had 10 children all born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada:
William James b 11/11/1884
Annie Marry b. 7/27/1886 d. 8/31/1889
Thomas Joseph b. 5/4/1888 d. 6/7/1893
Sarrah Ellen b. 4/3/1892 d. 5/11/1893
May Emily Livre b. 3/14/1894 d. 1/14/1943
Samuel Fred b. 8/14/1897 d. 4/10/1898
Norman Victor Andrew b. 8/15/1898 d. 4/2/1960
Violet K. I. Charlotte b. 3/3/1901 d. 7/12/1972 (my grandmother)
Roy Gordon Alex b. 4/2/1906d. 3/13/1909
Robert Nelson Ambrose b. 8/2/1909
My grandmother (Violet) used to visit relatives in Ireland and I know that there were 2 uncles (on the Park) side that she would visit who had remained in Ireland and live to be around 100 years old.They had another brother (Uncle Andy) Andrew Park who was living in Toronto but moved to Arizona because of his asthma and he lived to be well over 100 years old.
I don't know whether James Hanna and Mary Jane Park were born in Ireland or Canada as I have just started my searching and the above information came from the family bible that was passed on to me.If any of this has a connection with you, I'd be most pleased to hear from you at [email protected] forward to hearing from you.
