FLEMING, PATRICK born circa 1791 County Wexford died 1881 Prince Edward Island, Canada

Dear Megan

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

As you can see from the link below, the Fleming name was very common in 19th Century Ireland:

Have you already tried rootsireland.ie or familysearch? The period of your search is quite early so you will be very dependent on parish records.

I have moved this to the relevant Wexford page

Any connection to the War of 1812?

I have an ancestor who fought in the war and was granted land in New Brunswick.  There was also a Patrick Holmes from Wexford who fought in the war and settled in Perth-Andover, N. B.  The land grants appear to have been reserved for patrons of the war and grouped according to regiment, from what I can tell.  Have you searched the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick or the Nova Scotia Library to see if Prince Edward Island had a similar policy?

Thanks for this suggestions Ryan!

Just by chance, Megan, I once again made a wild-card search for the Flemming family in Carrick, Ireland and found your 2015 posting.  This may be  little late (today is June 21, 2018); nevertheless, I would like to have you contact me because I believe your Patrick was a brother to the John Flemming who settled in Margaree on Cape Breton Island.  Please contact me:  Elizabeth Flemming at e-mail boisdalewest@shaw.ca
