Seeking ancestors for William Henry Horricks born 18 Dec 1789, probably somewhere in the Manchester area of Lancashire. In 1807 joined the Sixth (1st Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot. Served in both Penninsular Campaigns and the Walcheran Expedition against the French. Sent to Canada in 1814, saw action against American Army at Fort Eirie. Demobilized from Sixth Foot 1815 and joined Glengarry Light Infantry. Demobilized from the Glengarry’s in 1816 and granted land in Drummond Township, Lanark County, Ontario. Married Christina Esther Forsythe in 1823 and fathered 14 children. Died near Perth, Ontario Canada, 02 March 1880. (Names is variously spelled Horricks, Horrocks, Horrax, Horrox, etc.).

Looking for a James Hannah who emigrated from either Scotland or Ireland around 1820 with his son (James Hannah 1809-1899)

I am seeking information on Edith May Heffron who was born in Lanark and died in North Hope, Ontario in 1919. She was a Methodist Deaconess and I am seeking information on where she was trained and where she might have served, in addition to North Hope, as a deaconess. I have a lovely book of sewing samples which she made while she was in Toronto. I have contacted the United Church Archives and everyone I can find who might know something about her. I have birth and death records but am seeking more about her life. I know she is buried in Lanark. I would love to see a picture of her if anyone has one and would be glad to share what I have learned so far.
