Historical
Notes William and Sarah arrived in Canada with their 6 children in 1846. It is likely they emigrated to avoid the civil uprisings and potato famine of their native Ireland. William immediately set up shop as a boot and shoemaker in Queen Street, East York. The following year, Toronto directories list him in King Street where he seems to have remained until 1862. In this same year his daughter, Ellen, is named as his apprentice. William owned a farm (Lot 6 Concession 2, York Township) in the Woodbine area near Norway. Thomas Smith, father of James who would later marry Ellen, lived in the same area. Four more children were born after the family arrival in Canada. Daughter Elizabeth married her cousin John E. Winnett. Sarah died of inflamation of the lungs. |
