Hi Evelyn
My family hailed from Pomeroy Tryone with a group of settlers in 1835
which ended up in the Ottawa Valley. Do you know of a list of families
who came to the Orillia area of Simcoe from Pomeroy? I would be
interested in comparing.
Cheers
Ron McCoy

Yes, Simcoe County was a destination for Ulster emigrants in the late
19th and early 20th century. There were at least three or four
inter-related families from the Pomeroy area in Tyrone who were livjng
in the Orillia area of Simcoe county and I suspect from looking at a
few of the earlier names, that they were from mid Tyrone as well.

This question goes out most specifically to Jim McKane since I
understand he hails from the Toronto area, however anyone with
knowledge of the answer should feel free to chime in.
In tracing the paths of my ten great aunts and uncles who were the
last generation to be born on our family farm in C.T., I have
found that one of my great uncles emigrated to Canada (late
19-teens) and was a farmer in the area of Simcoe County. He
married a woman who was from a neighboring townland back in C.T.
who had also emigrated to the area. I am wondering if Simcoe
County (or that region outside Toronto in general) was an area
that attracted Ulstermen at that time, and perhaps an ethnic
community had evolved. I also noticed that on his marriage
certificate his religious affiliation was listed as Church of
England, although he had been raised Methodist back in NI ... any
comments on that?
Thanks!!
