Whitesides & Allen Families 1805-1806
Two of my Great-Great Grandparents on my father's side came from Templeboy, Sligo based on engravings on their gravestone in St James Cemetary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Arthur Whitesides was born in 1806 and his wife, Jane who's maiden name was, I believe, Allen, was born in 1805.
This emigration to Toronto occurred prior to September 1832 because their first child was born Sept 17, 1832 in Toronto. Exactly when or how they travelled, I have no idea.
Perhaps importantly in identifying them, because of traditional naming schemes which I am fairly sure they followed with perhaps minor exceptions (because later generations definitely did), the children's names, in order, were as follows:
John 1832, Thomas 1836, Arthur 1838, Eliza Jane 1840 and Susanna 1842.
Any and all hints pointers etc to their Templeboy ancestors and exact location would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
