Hello,
I have nothing on Samuel but my gg grandmother was Barbara Bailey (Baraba Baillia) born Nov 1815 in Belfast. I don't know how exact that place of birth is. Barbara married William Spence on Mar. 27, 1832 in Templepatrick, Co. Antrim and after having 9 children (that I have found) she emigrated to Canada in 1864.
Any connection?? I don't have Barbara's parents names although I suspect William's father may have been Finlay Spence. Barbara and William had their children in Toberagnee, Co. Antrim and they were baptised in Lylehill Presbyterian Church.
Do you think Barbara's marriage certificate would have her parents' names on it?
