Foster - Ferguson and McDonald - Brennan

George Foster - Ann Ferguson

I'm looking to confirm the parents, and their birthplace, of George Robert Foster married to Margaret Ann McDonald - married in Canada August 22, 1887

His parents, I believe: George Foster married to Ann Ferguson - parish of Saul, County Down. Births? place of birth? married in Ireland?

Her parents, I believe: John McDonald (born Kilkenny??)  and Margaret Brennan - born somewhere in Ireland. Not sure when they married or were born. I think that they may have emigrated to Canada mid 1850's.

Thank you!!

Mary

Mary:

I did not have much success. I did not find a marriage record for George Foster and Rose Ann Eagleson on the subscription site Roots Ireland or the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie ; I looked in Co. Down only.

On the subscripiton site Roots Ireland, I did not find a John McDonald/Margaret Brennan marriage record. The only lead I located was a marriage record in Co. Kilkenny but the mother's names was Catherine not Margaret. The year of the marriage fit with when you say they emigrated.

February 8 1853 RC parish of Johnstown John McDonald and Catherine Brenan
