William Cross and Jane Dunn in Tipperary

I am searching for my 3x great-grandparents William Cross and Jane Dunn,  Their children were baptised in Toem in the late 1700s and early 1800,in the Church of Ireland.  Later I found that the name Toem changed to  Cappawhite and Cashel.  The earlier Barony was Kilmananaugh.  William and Jane arrived in Canada in the late 1820s or early 1830s.  They settled south of Montréal In Sainte- Martine, Québec  All sons and daughters were married in this area which is close to the US border.

This is all I know.

HI  Anita,  this is interesting that the family were Church of Ireland then

Some research has been done on those Crosses who were Catholic and lived in the area up to 

recently.  It is possible they were buried in The Graveyard in Toem  headstones not on line yet.

Toem was a civil parish and the Ruins of the Church still there  in The Graveyard.

I will try to find more on this for you.

Let me know if you have any question,s.

Good morning,

I have always found interesting to learn that the Family of William Cross and Jane Dunn, that is all their children had been baptized in the Church of Ireland.  All the children of this couple were married in Québec and in the Roman Catholic Churches of Saint-Chrysostôme and Sainte-Martine and surroundings.  Is it because there were no Anglican or Protestant churches in existence at that time??.  Remember that this was in late 1820s eraly 1830s. I have found the church documents here.  William and Jane are buried in the churchyard in Saint-Chrysostôme, Québec.  These 

 towns are 40 miles south west of Montréal and close to the Unites States border.

I was wondering whether you might be able to go back to the parents of this couple.  For Jane Dunn, I have seen in some trees her parents as being Roger Dunn and Letitia ?

For William Cross is there a chance that his father might have been William Cross also??

Hi again Anita,It would be hard to find records further back than you have  gone.

You were lucky to have found trees for Jane Dunn.  I presume you have DNA  done as it confirms what we already know.

Also if you ever come to Ireland , the Deeds office in Henrietta street Dublin, may have info on Marriage settlements  or other

info which would take you back further.

If I find anything else, will get back to you.

Christina.
