Alicia Green 1839
I've been unable to find parents for my great grandmother born in Ireland in 1839, immigrated to Canada in 1842. I don't know the area in which she was born. The dates do not exactly suggest she was a famine orphan. She married into my Dad's side of the family, wed to Thomas Olive. Part of the problem in tracing her life is the various spellings of her first name which can be quite odd.
Of course it is possible the dates are wrong and she may have come over on one of the coffin ships, her parents dying on the way, but there should be records of her birth and parents somewhere in Ireland, shouldn't there? I assume her parents would have been Catholic. If not, might that explain why records are lacking?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
