Wilson McCann married Rebecca (Gracey or Waters)

[sesd]

Wilson McCann (born Armagh 1808-1810) married Rebecca (born abt 1811) and immigrated to Canada where they began having children by 1831.

The couple were Anglican in Canada.

Wilson McCann and Rebecca had one daughter Elizabeth, 17 MAY 1829  in Seagoe, Armagh, Ireland, according to a IGI member submission. However she doesn't show on the first census of Canada in 1852. She is old enough to be married, I suppose.

According to the death certificate of one daughter, Rebecca's maiden name was Gracey. Another daughter's death certificate gave the name as Waters.

I have no other death, marriage records, or birth or baptismal records that give a maiden name for Rebecca.


Does anyone see a Church of Ireland marriage record for the period up to 1831, or appropriate birth/baptismal records for Wilson, Rebecca or Elizabeth?

If there is nothing definite, does anyone have any leads, or hints of where to look?

Thanks for any help,
Sharon

Seagoe Church records don't contain the birth records in a section  1821-1835 nor the marriage in 1821-1827.  If Rachel Gracey was the daughter of John and Rebeca (Halliday) , Rebecca's home church would be near Moyraverty.

A Thomas and Margaret McCann had Elizabeth baptized Dec 7th 1828 and had something to do with Calverts.

Rebecca is also pretty common family name in my line - (including my daughter).
