Thankyou for the information about John Davison and Hannah Somerville. Sorry that it took so long to thank you I didn't recieve a notification from Rootschat. I have been researching Mary Jane Davison and Alexander Davison. Alexanders father's name is also Alexander. They lived in Kent county in Ontario, Canada which is the same region as the one John and Hannah moved to. York county is in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Alexander and Mary Jane moved there as well., only they never moved on to the U.S. I realize that you're not researching John Davison but do you happen to know if John has any brother's?
Thanks again.
Phyllis

Regarding your question on 12 of May. I'm sorry to say that I have nothing to offer you. I'm not researching the Somervilles of Balyhannon. My question is about something that you said in your first statement about Hannah Somerville and John Davison. I am researching the Davison's of Ballygargan and I have a realative by the name of Mary Jane Davison who married Alexander Davison in 1882. The 2 witnesses were a Hannah Sumerville and John Davison.
You said that Hannah and John immegrated to Canada in 1882and the 1901 Canadian Census shows that Mary Jane and Alexander Davison also immegrated to Canada in 1882.
I wonder if both couples left together? Or is this just some wild coincedence?
Mary Jane and Alexander married in early May. Do you know when Hannah and John emigrated from Ireland? I hope to go to ottawa to look through passenger lists in the hopes that I might find Mary and Alexander. After reading your post I was thinking that I might start with the same time period as when Hannah and John arrived.
I know that it may sound a bit far fetched but I have a six month period to cover if I want to find my couple and any little bit that might help me is much appreciated.
Thanks
