I AM SEARCHING FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER WILLIAM SMITH b. 1863/65/67 Ireland d. 1939 Toronto, Canada PRIOR TO HIS MARRIAGE IN GLASGOW, SCOTLAND TO CATHERINE MADDEN TALLAN IN 1899. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN COUNTY CORK BUT THE EXACT YEAR IS UNCERTAIN, HIS HEADSTONE SAYS 1863, AND CENSUS RESULTS INDICATE THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN AS LATE AS 1867, BIRTH DATE IS LIKELY JANUARY 17. HIS PARENTS WERE MICHAEL SMITH (b. unknown but deceased by 1899) AND MARGARET KELLIGAR b. 1845 in Youghal, Cork, Ireland. HER PARENTS WERE GARRETT KELLIGAR (1810-1880, Cork, Ireland area) and JOHANNA WALSH (1809-1891, Cork, Ireland area). I HAVE INFORMATION ON WILLIAM'S CHILDREN AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY, SO I AM NOT LOOKING FOR THAT.

Genealogy is one of my hobbies that I began about 40 years ago. After I retired from my career in 2020, I spent a lot of time in the pandemic researching my tree. I have an extensive tree on Family Search.

I am second generation Canadian on my father's side and third generation Canadian on my mother's side.

My paternal side - Smith, Madden, McGinnis, Killegan - came from Scotland and Ireland - the maternal side - Kear, Brunyard, James, Mason - came from Yorkshire and Gloucestershire/Forest of Dean, as well as into Wales.

My maternal side - Sherban/Szczerban, Boyenko/Bojenko, Holuk, Remenda, Dutka, Kiril - came from Borshchiv, Ukraine.
