Descendant of Robinson Settlers from Tip town, Tipperary
Hello Today, happily, I determined that I am most probablly descended from Robinson settler emigrants who sailed from Cork on the SS Elizabeth in May of 1825. Specifically, I am the near certain great-great grandson of Richard Dwyer, age 24 at the time of departure. Richard was with his father Jeremiah Dwyer ( age 50) and possibly a wife Mary (22) - with other siblings Thomas (20), John (17), Edmond (12), Elinor (15), Judith (15), Alicia (10) and Denis (6). They may have had a child born in passage, John also who could be my great grandfather (1824-1899). Alternately, the John shown on the pasenger manifest may have been seventeen months and not the implied seventeen years. The family settled, after many trials, and more later, in the then near wilderness, of Peterborough County, Upper Canada (Ontario). They came from Tipperary town, Tipperary, Ireland. Would anyone having knowledge of this Dwyer family or any helpful suggestions, please contact me. Frank (Francis) Dwyer, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. Take care, stay well. Frank
