Do you know if any of your Hayes emigrated to Saranac, upstate NY going through British North America/Canada?

I am hoping for information about my maternal line starting with: John Hayes was born about 1800 in County Tipperary Ireland. He may be buried in Dromineer outside of Nenagh.
His wife was Ellen Sweeney also born about 1800 in County Tipperary Ireland. She emigrated to Montreal Quebec Canada joining her sons, and died in December of 1862 there.

Hello, Thank you for the comment/question however to the best of my knowledge this generation of the family all emigrated to the Montreal Canada area. The "Drouin Collection" does have records from Clinton County New York and might be a good collection to research.

I suggest starting with the familysearch.org site. I do hope that you have plenty of patience! Good luck.
ancestry.com (NOT FREE)
familysearch.org (FREE)
This is basically a Canadian Catholic collection but also has some records from the Clinton Co New York area. I have Chevalier records in that area.

Church records (parish registers) and indexes
Parish registers are an important source for information on births, baptisms, marriages, deaths and burials. For you to locate relevant records, you must know the place and the religious denomination of a person. Religious denomination is indicated in Census records.
The first parish register was created in Quebec City as early as 1616; the oldest record dates back to 1621. There is no central repository for parish registers in Canada. Many are in the custody of individual churches, genealogical societies, religious archives and provincial and territorial archives and libraries.
Library and Archives Canada holds only a small collection of parish registers, none of which are comprehensive for any region. Most are transcripts rather than originals, available on microfilm and listed in our Checklist of Parish Registers(ISBN 0660538636). Due to the heavy volume of inquiries we receive, we are unable to conduct searches in parish registers. Find out how to access the records.
Our holdings can be identified by using Archives Search. Select "Textual material" to limit your search.
Keywords: name of place or religious denomination with "church records," "registres de paroisses," "registers of births," "marriage records," "registers of marriages," "death registers," "burials," "baptisms," "baptêmes," "mariages," "sépultures".
The descriptions of the records are written in the language of the actual parish registers.
Some of the church records have nominal indexes. To provide better access to those indexes, the information they contain has been entered in a database that will expand slowly over the next few years. Consult our Births, Marriages and Deaths Recorded in Canada database.
