Thanks for your follow-up. We are indeed related. My records show that your John Shearwin (Sherwin), father of James Alfred who married Catherine White on July 1, 1891 in Toronto, wasactually the son of Anthony Shearwin (1808-1888) and Isabella. Anthony was an older brother of my great grandfather John Shearwin, both being sons of Anthony Shearwin and Jane Butland of Hutton Wandesley, Yorkshire. Because my grandfather Fletcher was the youngest son of John Shearwin (he was born in 1864), I am actually your grandfather's third cousin! I would very much like to share data with you or your mother.
