Hi -  I have been doing some research on the Wright family for my cousin and discovered today that John Wright, bc 1811, England, had a son Alfred Lawson by his first marrige (I suspected this) born in July 1, 1844 - this from the Family History of Malta.

John and his son Alfred emigrated to Quebec, where John remarried and had more children.

Sorry - I belive it should have been Ballykelly - if that is in the Clogan ara.

Paul Hunter born 1829
                   immigrated 1848 - arrived June 16, 1848 Philadelphia, age 19, arrived New York, departure Londonderry, origin Ireland, residence Londonderry.

His death registration only states - born in Ireland

In all my searches the only "Paul Hunter", I can find is 1831-1841, Tamlalught Finlegan #033, along with Michael #033 and John Hunter #033.

Also, from a document I received from PRONI, these 3 names appear as brothers, who are sons of a John Hunter of Cloghan (no wife named), who was a son of John Hunter and Mary Miller, John being a son of Andrew Hunter of Cloghan Farms, Tamlaght Finlaygan.

I realize that my Paul Hunter's father was not necessarily "Paul", but at least it was a start for me.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I am looking for the ancestors of Paul Hunter bc. 1829 (possibly Ballinderry or area), emigrated to Canada in 1848 and died in Tamworth, Ontario, August 15, 1888.  Anyone else interested in this family?

Thank you, Marian
