Hello,
Looking for information about my great great grandfather Thomas Burgess. He was born in 1822. I don't have any other information about his life in Ireland. He immigrated to Canada during the potato famine.
Thank you for whatever thing you can find.
Take care
Christine

Hello McCoy,
Thank you for the information! Unfortunately I don't think that's him. I double checked the census he filled out when he immigrated to Ontario and he wrote he is was Catholic.
Thank you again,
Christine
