George Berryhill Acheson (my grand-father) emigrated to Canada in the early 1900s. He married Mary Morris and they has six (6) children: Kathleen Aubrey (deceased), William A (deceased), Helen Berryhill (deceased) who married Hubert Frederick Peckham, Florence Ethel (deceased), Frances Patricia (deceased) and George Robert (deceased WW II). My parents were Helen Berryhill Acheson and Hubert Frederick Peckham.

I have traced the Acheson family back to Alexander Acheson (1797 - 1867) wife unknown. I believe there may be a connection to the Achesons, Viscounts and Earls of Gosford but I haven't been able to identify the connection. It is easy to trace the Earls of Gosford but not their brothers and sisters. If you have any information that might help, I'd be very appreciative.
