McSherry-Hill m. Old Monkland Scot in 1828
I am trying to find someone who knows the Peter McShirra (McSherry) who married Eliza(beth) Hill in Old Monkland, Scotland, on 1-27-1828. If it turns out that these are in fact my ancestors, parents of Patrick, Peter, Lucy and Elizabeth, they emigrated to Canada (Quebec and then Ontario)in 1833. Their son Patrick is said to have been born (1) aboard ship, and also (2) in Quebec in 1833. I'm assuming he was born aboard ship and registered in Quebec upon the family's arrival there.They later moved to the Kingston area.
Strangely enough, one source gives Peter's birth on 5-5-1840 in Steuben County, NY, and the girls in Ontario.So it is possible that the family lived in New York at one point...not known if that NY reference is correct as I can't find concrete proof of where he was born.
Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.
