Mary Wilson was born about 1821 in Ireland. She is my 4th great grandmother. Family oral history states that Mary was born in County Cork. She arrived in Nova Scotia, sometime before 1843 and married James Francis. They had five children. I am a decendant of their fourth born son, James Francis Jr. Mary died 9 Novemver 1874. Who her parents were are unknown and if they came with her or brought her to Nova Scotia.
County Cork, or Corcaigh in Irish, is the southernmost county in Ireland and also the largest county. It is known as “The Rebel County”. We are home to the Blarney Stone and known for our beaches and beautiful scenery. We have a population of approximately 542,196. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
