John McHugh, born in 1816 in Ireland and Emigrated to New Brunswick Canada
I would like to find out specifically where my McHugh relatives were originally from in Ireland and have hit a brick wall. I am also interested in finding out who my g-g-grandfather's parents are.
I would appreciate any help anyone could provide. I do have additional information if needed.
My great-great-grandfather, John McHugh, was born in 1816 in Ireland, but I don't know what county. He married Bridget McCullough McHugh on February 21, 1843, in Westmorland, New Brunswick, Canada. They had seven children in 18 years. He died in 1881 in New Brunswick, Canada, at the age of 65.
