Re: Creer/Corkill/Vick
In Response To: Creer/Corkill/Vick ()

Hello .. I'd just like to post that one set of my ancestors was a John and Esther CORKILL in the Lezayre Parish in the early 1800's. Their son, Evan, was born there in 1827, and grew up to become my great-great-grandfather.

His daughter, Mary Elizabeth CORKILL, was born in Liverpool in 1860. She and her four younger siblings were "shipped to Canada" as "British Home Children" in 1874.
