Family of George Snell, Mono Township, Ontario, Canada

I am researching the family of George Snell who was born in 1798 in County Cavan, Ireland. He emigrated around 1828 to Mono Township, which is now in Dufferin County (was then Simcoe County), Ontario, Canada. He was buried, after his death in 1869, in Snell's Cemetery which is at the site where Snell's Methodist Church, and the original homestead once stood, in Mono Township.

George was married to Ellen McManus and had 3 children in Ireland before leaving. Seven more children (confirmed) were born in Canada.

Ellen's entire family came with them. Ellen's brother George McManus became a next door neighbour, and prominent citizen in the area. Ellen's mother, and other siblings settled west of Dufferin County, near Mount Forest.

Many thanks to all those who contributed to this record.

  Not sure here. This was found in William Snell's wedding album but not taken that day -it is older vintage. It is not Rebecca Duke's parents, so it is believed to be William Snell's parents.
