Stirling/Sterling

AntrimAntrim (Antrim)

My GGGrandfather born in or around Dec 1824, Robert Sterling came to Canada perhaps via the US when he was very young.  He came with his mother.  Family stories say her name was Jane.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your message. I hope that someone with information makes a connection with you to share information. In the meantime do you have any more information that you can share to enable others to further your research? Information such as:

  • Names of other family members
  • Specific place of origin in Antrim. Most Irish record sources are based on specific locations, usually a parish.
  • Religious denomination

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you.
