Looking for Timothy O"Connor, he was 39 and a blacksmith, his wife Elizabeth Greg was 37 when they left Ireland for Canada. The left in 1825 with the Peter Robinson Settlers. His children were, Elizabeth 19, Jane 17, William 14, Mary 11, Edmond 9, Ellen 6 and Margaret 3.
He is my great great great great great grandfather.
Thank you Gail O'Connor Dotson
Hi Gail,
As you posted in the Mallow board I suppose you expect that they came from Mallow county Cork?
Unfortunately there are no records available from before 1803 Mallow, I will have a look to see if there is a passenger listing somewhere as canada was very popular with the people from North Cork
Gail,
This is your family the arrived on ship the ''New Brunswick'' on June 12th 1825. They proceeded from Quebec to Montreal aboard the steam boat Lady Sherbrooke, on 15 June 1825

As Timothy was a blacksmith we might be able to find out a bit more about him
If you are interested we also have a Peter Robinson Settlers Facebook page with information https://www.facebook.com/groups/585781828107292/

Hi Gail. Your ancestors would have left Ireland before either the Tithes 1830 or Griffiths valuation 1850. I decided they would have left relatives in the area. I found Greggs in the tithes, Griffiths and in the 1901 census . They were in Buttavent Castlemagner and Doneraile. I looked up O'Connors/connors It was a much more popular name than Gregg. I will do some more research on this. The best of luck with your research. Kindest regards. Christina.
