Classification: Query
Surnames: Kingston, Holleran, Callaghan, Carroll
In the past few months I have received several extremely helpful pieces of information on the Kingston family from readers of the Dufferin Co., Ont. board, as well as helpful information from the Dufferin Co web site.
As a result, I have been able to pull together a much more detailed and accurate picture of my father's family than we have ever had before. To return the favor I would like to direct anyone who has an interest in these same families to the web sites where I have posted the tree.
The tree is called "Kingston-Carroll" and it has been put up on www.ancestry.com and www.gencircles.com.
The Kingston, Holleran and Callaghan familes were Irish Roman Catholics who arrived around the midpoint of the 19th century in Melancthon twp of then Grey Co. After that they intermarried and moved to other parts of Ontario: Samuel Kingston to Welland Co. for example), and his brother John (b. 1839, Co. Cork, Ire.) and his wife Julia Holleran (b. 1844, Ire.)came to Erie Co. where they have many descendents, especially around Elma, Wales, East Aurora and Buffalo.
Please feel free to use this tree to aid your own research, and as usual so much new information as I have recently found brings many new questions. If you have data on the following persons, beyond what I have already, I would be very pleased to receive it - as well as anything pertaining to the Erie Co. branch:
1. Paul Kingston (b. 1847, Ireland) and sister, Ellen (b. 1857, Ont.), children of Paul and Mary Kelly Kingston of Ireland & Melancthon. I have nothing other than their early census entries with their parents, though Ellen lived to at least her early 20's.
2. Patrick Holleran (b. 1835, Ireland, son of John and Margaret Ryan Holleran). He left Melancthon and was in Stisted & McMurrich, Muskoka w. wife and kids for the 1881 census. Then I lose the entire family.
3. John Holleran (b. 1838, Ireland, another son of John and Margaret.) I cannot find marriage, census or death records for him after the mid-1860s.
3. Jane Kingston Callaghan (b. 1849, dau. of Paul and Mary as above, sd. she was born in Timoleague, Co. Cork in an early 20th cent. border crossing doc.) She and at least two of her children by Bernard Callaghan (b. 1839, Ireland, also of Melancthon) seem to have been living in Buffalo around 1913-1916, though I cannot find them in the 1920 or 1930 U.S. censuses.
Any leads would be appreciated, and I hope the tree as it is at present will be helpful to others.
