The Actons came from England and were big landowners in Castlebar co. Mayo They once owned where the Castlebar hospital is built. Actons emigrated to Ontario in or about 1840.
My husbands great grandfather was John Edward Acton, his father was John Acton, Ballygoin, Castlebar.
Adrian Acton, @ the Post Office in Leanne, Co. Galway can help you, he gave me this info.

Hi

My 3X Great grandfarther came from Ballyguin, Castlebar, Co Mayo. I have looked for Leanne Co Galway to try and contact Adrian Acton but I cannot locate it. Would you know if it is the right spelling?

Regards
Darren

Galway is spelt GALWAY not Galaway, it's Leanne I can't find on any maps. Thanks for your input.
