Hey, looking for any info on Benjamin Baskerville 1798-1875, born Tipperary and died Ontario, Canada and his wife Sarah Martin c1805-1891, born in what was Queen's County and died in Ontario. Both immigrated about 1839 with children Thomas and MaryAnn to Canada (no details known). Three more known children born in Ontario. Benjamin listed in son-in-law's bible as being born in Yaughill (or Yanghill) Parish, Bulroo--can not find these exact places listed. Benjamin's parents may be William Baskerville and Mary Hardy. Appreciate any info on these folks in Ireland or where to look for them.

I have some unverified information on the Baskerville family. Joseph Baskerville married Catherine Johnston on Oct 27, 1853 in Gloucester township, Carleton county, Ontario. I have him born in Traverston, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, son of John Baskerville and Sarah Hardy. I have John born Castle Otway, Tipperary, Sarah born Dolla, and John is the son of William Baskerville born abt 1760 and Mary Hardy. Date of marriage for John and Sarah Jan 23, 1812, Silvermines. All John and Sarah's children born Traverston. I did have Benjamin as a brother to John and I did have Benjamin married to Sarah Martin of Tipperary. As I said, all of this is unverified and I have not researched back into the Baskerville family. I was researching the Johnston family.

Thank you, had not seen this information before. Will give me something to look for and see if I can find anything to verify it. Thank you again :)

just a note on your post, that name you mention must surely be Youghal, county Cork, always helpful if people mention if they know with certainty if there Ancestors were of the Protestant, or Catholic Faith, as there are 2 completely different sets of Records pertaining to both Denominations, Ben

They were Protestant. I have not found a connection to the Caswells (though they keep showing up). My family bible states it was county Tipperary, I believe there is a Youghal there, in North Tipperary--I had thought that might be it. The bible belonged to MaryAnn's husband John Cowan from Antrim and he might have spelled it by how it sounded and she was younger than 10 when she immigrated to Canada. MaryAnn was also born there. Thank you for your answer.

I don't believe so, my Benjamin (and wife Sarah Martin) had Thomas b 1829 and MaryAnn b 1832 in Tipperary and they immigrated abt 1839 to Canada. He then had three more known children in Ontario, one which was William Redmond Baskerville born 1845. He married Mary Jane Law and raised a family in Canada.

I tried doing a Marriage search for you on the site,,, I.F.H.F. using the name Benjamin Baskerville, and 2 results popped up, both marriages were in Tipperary, one for 1826, the other for 1829, it will cost you about 7 Dollars each, 5 Euros, to have a look at them, but they certainly match the time scale you are looking for, no guarantee these are the right ones, but might be worth a bet, the name Baskerville, is so rare in Ireland, don't discount anything you find, most are surely related, and might answer some questions for you further down the line, all the best, Ben

Thank you, this has turned out to be the best site. Very helpful folks. I figured Baskerville was most likely English or French and my Cowan's in Antrim were definitely Scottish.

I'm not sure if you're still looking for information, but I have quite a bit of information on the Baskerville family from Traverston, Tipperary. Parents are John Baskerville and Sarah Hardy. If you would like to connect, let me know :)

Thomas Baskerville was born in Tipperary county, Ireland in 1829. He came to Canada with his parents, Benjamin Baskerville and Sarah Martin, when he was about ten years old and settled in Kingston. As a young man he was a sailor and in 1847 moved to Beverly Township where he farmed the north half of Lot 34 on the 7th Concession. He married Charlotte Shaver of Westover. They had six daughters, Mahala, Mary Ann, Hortence, Agness, Margaret, and Louise. The family moved to Dundas in 1867 where he was a butcher for 28 years. He served three different terms as councilor for Valley Ward. The family resided in the home at the corner of King and Napier (Block 13, Lot 12) which is still there. His shop was located on the same property. Charlotte died in 1892 and Thomas in 1895 at the age of 65. His eldest daughter, Mahala, married James McEwan of Dundas. They resided in the Baskerville home after the death of Thomas. James worked as a machinist at Bertram’s for 54 years having started as an apprentice at age 14. His family are also early pioneers of Wentworth County having come to Dundas in 1841. Mary Ann married T.J. Statham of Chicago and they took up residence in Strathroy where she died in 1938. Agness was a school teacher in Dundas. At a young age she went to India as a Baptist missionary for over forty years where she operated a school for girls. Louise died young, at the age of 19, in 1891 of Tuberculosis. She, along with her father, mother and sisters Agness and Mahala are buried in the family plot in the Grove Cemetery, Dundas.

There is a townland called Youghal in the civil parish of Youghalarra in north Tipperary. The Church of Ireland records for Youghalarra are in Castletownarra parish.

Thanks Maggsie,
Having some knowledge of this family, I searched your link to that 1836 Baskerville-Martin marriage and it worked perfectly, first time.
