Hello. As I mentioned in the first post, I’m looking for information about my ancestor who came to Canada from Tyrone (as indicated in his obituary). I’m unsure where I can find more information so am hoping someone here can point me towards some resources.
William McFadden was born Sept 2, 1785 in Tyrone. He died Sept 22, 1881 near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He came to Canada as part of the British 99th foot regiment to fight in the War of 1812. At the end of the war he chose to remain in Canada. We believe he was a weaver before leaving Ireland. We think he had 2 brothers who also served in the military - a brother John born 1795 approx in Donegal who joined the military 5 May 1812 in 3rd soldiers depot and a brother Edward born 1797 approx. in Fermanagh. Military date 17 Oct 1814. Unit 35thfoot soldier. Thank you Josie. ________________________________ From: Jim McKane <[email protected]> Sent: July 24, 2019 9:14 AM To: CoTyroneIreland.com Mailing List <[email protected]> Cc: Josie Turbach <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] looking for an ancestor - William McFadden Hi Josie - more details such has his family, his brother et al might help someone locate a connection?

I know that I am looking for a needle in a haystack but I am hoping that someone can help direct me where else to look. I am from Canada and I am looking for my ancestor - William McFadden - who was born in Tyrone, went to Canada with the British army to fight in the War of 1812 and then he settled here (near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). The website has his obituary on the page "born in Tyrone, buried elsewhere" which I pasted below. My mom has been working on ancestry.com<http://ancestry.com> for several years and we have been unable to find anyone prior to this ancestor. We know that he also had a brother who came to Canada after the war (and he remained here as well, we have found some of his descendants). So, I am relatively new to researching genealogy, and I'm wondering if anyone on here can provide advice on how to find information on William, and hopefully his parents, in Tyrone. Thanks so much.

Deceased saw active service in Canada 1812-1814 settling in Ashton in 1818. _______________________________________________ CoTyroneList Mailing List Mailing List Email Address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Change Your Preferences: http://mail.cotyroneireland.com/mailman/listinfo/cotyronelist_cotyroneireland.com Mailing List Archive: https://goo.gl/mQCKrY
