John & Marg. McNeil - Ireland to Ont Can with US connection
I'm looking for info about great grandfather McNeil.He was born Thomas John around 1865 (give or take a few years)in Wellington county, Ontario Canada.He was one of several children of Margaret and John McNeil (both b in Ireland).Family stories suggest that he went to US, married Effie?? and they had a son (John) in May 1890 or 1892.Effie died shortly after giving birth.John worked for a logging company and was killed in an accident.Son John was about 2 years old at the time.He was sent to Canada to live with his Aunt Maggie McNeil and her husband William Atkinson.I'm looking for info about Effie, where John died, and where son John was born.
Also, John's brother Samuel moved to US and lived there for the rest of his life (either Buffalo area or somewhere in Michigan). I'm looking for info on him too.Can anyone help????
