User Home Pages: Morrow & Elder Family - Mille Isles, QC from Co.Derry , N.I.
I am researching the Morrow family which came to the area of Morin Flats (Heights)/Mille Isles, Argenteuil Co., Quebec, Canada around 1845.This family is closely related to the Elder, and Pollock families all from near Coleraine, Co. Derry, Northern Ireland and settled in the same area of Quebec.From this area they spread throughout Canada and the United States. Family lore claims the children of William Morrow and Elizabeth Pollock, five sons William, John, Matthew, David, and Henry sailed together from Moville, Lough Foyle in the spring of 1845 accompanied by two sisters Anna and the other's name is unknown. William married Nancy Booth in April 1845 and John married Eliza Spence before emigration. Henry married Ellen Wilson, David married Mary Elder, but little is known of Matthew.There was another brother James married to Nancy Elder. I am also researching my Mother's ancestors which includes the names of Morrison from Laurieston, Falkirk, Stirlingshire and Rennie, Birnie, Laird, Gall, Walker, Stewart, Rob, Gordon, Blaik, from the Pitsligo, Peterhead, Fraserburgh area of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. On my husband's side I am researching the Heale family from the Moreton Hampstead area of Devon, England which settled in St. John's, Newfoundland, around 1850 when it was governered by England but is now one of the provinces of Canada.Other names connected to the Heale family are Bishop, Carter, Clarke, Martin, Sess, Taverner, Crispen.Parsons, Noseworthy, Crane, Noel, Sheppard, Hayes from Bryant's Cove, Harbour Grace area of Newfoundland are names on my husband's maternal side. Any information or assistance would be gratefully appreciated and I am willing to share information I have gathered. | Morrow & Elder Family - Mille Isles, QC from Co.Derry , N.I.
