Hi to hello567
The document that I refer to, was copied and laminated for posterity last month.
The lead pencil writing on the cardboard paper is now smeared, small and nearly unreadable.
(no point emailing)
The cemetery is, St George's Anglican in Caledon twp.. Was taken over by the municipality as it was uncared for. The better stones were moved together and the rest were ? The Atkinson stone is there.
That is a long story itself. The cemetery records are too brief, believe me ! No mention of George''s mother or his two sisters who lived with him !

Hi to hello567
- Sorry my error - the #3 Atkinson girl & the #4 Atkinson girl both married a "Scott" and not related.
-the #5 Atkinson girl, who married the son of Dr. Arthur Milligan, her name may be "Francis". The words "New York" also appear on the same line.
My , family bible, starts after the marriage of George Atkinson to Jane Glassford in 1854, so his siblings aren't shown. They had 10 children.
George Atkinson b. 1825, d. 1907.His mother's name is Ann(e) Maxwell? His father's George? Atkinson.
Any info. on G.Atkinson's immediate family in Ireland, would be appreciated immensely.

There is no indication that these girls were married in Ireland.
The Dodd name was a popular name around Orangeville Ont.

my father's records indicate 5 sisters:
Sarah Atkinson d. 1866 @ George's
Ann Atkinson d, 1909 @ George's
3 ?     Atkinson - married a Dodd
4 ?     Atkinson - married another Dodd - no relation
5 ?     Atkinson - married a son of Dr. Milligan

Please - Who was George's father and were there other siblings ?

Hi to hello567,
George Atkinson 1825-1907 from Donegal is my Great Grandfather.
He immigrated to Ontario in 1842.
His mother and 5 sisters immigrated also.
I am interested in his Irish family etc
I have his family bible
Can you help?
John
