It does seem like we might have a connection!  Patrick Quinn and Margaret Whalen were already married when they came to Canada so it seems odd that she would use her maiden name but not sure of customs at the time.  Patrick's son James married Mary Lynett at St. Gregory's Mission in Ontario in 1853 so this is looking like the timing is about right. Where did you find your baptismal record - familysearch.org?

I have my family tree on ancestry.com - do you have anything there?  I am stuck when it comes to finding info in Ireland.  Someone heard it was Ballylanders but I don't know if that is a fact...a distant cousin said she tried to find info in Ballylanders but was told there were no records.

Hi : I found the baptismal record for John Quinn in the Catholic Church records of the Dioceses of Toronto Archives.  T he record in question  came from the church records of St. Gregory  the Great Mission in Oshawa Ontario. in case you do not know, Oshawa is 25 0r so miles east of Toronto situated on lake Ontario in what was at that time Ontario County but now known as Durham Region.

i also found the following tidbits: James Quinn married Mary Lynett December 11th 1853

                                                         Margaret Quin wqs batized Jan 14th 1862, father James Quinn                                                             mother, Mary  Lynett , Ontario County, Brock Township

                                                          Mary Quinn age 1 was batized 1861 father James Quinn, Brock Township

                                                          aso a Patrick Quinn baptized March 17th and Thomas  aged 2                                                          parents were James Quinn and Mary Lynett

                                                        Feb 21st baptized Thomas born 24th decmber 1845 of Michael Neil

                                                         and Ann farrel ( Sprs Edward Quinn and Ann Nugent

                                                        I could send you a link to the Ontario census for 1852 , I'll see if I can find it.

                                                        in 1848 Ontario was known as canada west with a population of

                                                         725, 870 and 119, 061 families. Somewhere in their are "our' Quinn's                                 

Hi James,

Thanks for the information!  I do have some of the baptismal info thanks to someone I found on an ancestry website.  I just recently found on familysearch.org some of the images from St. Gregory for my family.  I think I saw your Edward but it was written as "Queen"... The baptismal records are from St. Joseph's in Beaverton but I have been having a hard time finding the church records after they moved to Bruce.

The Patrick born March 17 to James and Mary was my great-grandfather.  James and Mary moved to the thumb area of Michigan in the lates 1800's but 2 of their children Mary and Ellen married and stayed in Canada.  I made contact with one of Ellen's descendants who lives in Oshawa area.

Do you live in Canada? I live in the Detroit area of Michigan.

I wanted to mention that I went on ancestry.com and entered what you told me about your Edward and I see that there are many family trees out there for an Edward Quinn born in 1822 who married a Bridget Pardy - is that your Edward? I have access to the 1852 Census through ancestry.com and think I found my Quinns on it - although my great-grandfather seems to have moved on his own and there is another child (Patrick) living with Patrick and Margaret but the other two children Jeremiah and Catherine match...

Feel free to email me or you can reply to this...

Cheers,

Lisa
