Looking for any informatoin concerning the descendants of Henry Dudgeon who married Elizabeth Kirkpatrick (1845-) on Feb. 23, 1865. They had six children - Thomas married Minnie Wilson/ Joseph married Fanny Simpson/ James married Elizabeth Montgomery/ Margaret married George Morrow/Annie married Thomas Lloyd/Lilly married William McIvor. The family started out in Mulmur Township, Dufferin County and later moved to the Mono Road/Sandhill area. I understand that the family spread from there, but am not certain as to where.

Names being researched: ARMSTRONG
Time period: 1840-1998
Looking for names of parents and siblings of WILLIAM JAMES ARMSTRONG, b. May 13, 1858, Simcoe County, Ontario. I have no idea what township. He had a brother named SAMUEL. William went to Michigan in 1889 to work as a masonist and carpenter. He and Samuel came back to Canada in 1892 and headed west to Gainsborough, Saskatchewan, and then to Boissevain, Manitoba. In December 1895, William married CHARLOTTE MCCUTCHEON (b.Aprl 16, 1876, in Dufferin County, Ontario) from Gainsborough. They had 4 children. Willliam is my paternal gr-grandfather. I have no idea what happened to Samuel. I would like to find out William's parents and siblings in order to trace back the family to Ireland where they supposedly came from . If anyone has any information on this family, an names or even living relatives still in the area, please email me and let me know. I would like to talk to anyone still living there.
