aljepeka (Barbara):  David Fitzsimmons (b. about 1818 in County Down, Ireland; d. 1901 in Grey County, Ontario, Canada; m. Elizabeth "Betsy" Dowling 1854 in Wellington County, Ontario, Canada) was my 3rd great-grandfather.   You mention a David Fitzsimmons from Ireland in your last entry -- is this the same person?  If so, how was he related to Joshua Fitzsimmons (m. Martha) and his son Robert (b. Ireland; m. Alice Brown)?  Also, do you have any information on David's parents and/or siblings?  I don't have access to many details from England or Ireland, so anything you can offer from those locations would be greatly appreciated.
