Subject: [Q-R] TILLEY-help needed


> I am in need of some help regarding ancestors who lived in Quebec in the
1820s and possibly early 1830s and have no idea where to begin my search. If
someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly
appreciated.
> My great grandmother Eliza Jane TILLEY was born in Ontario however, prior
to that, the family had lived in Quebec.
> Eliza's brother James TILLEY was born in Lower Canada about 1825 (37 years
of age on the 1861 census) and in one reference Quebec City is mentioned.
His mother was Nancy TILLEY born in Ireland and a Wesleyan Methodist. She
was born about 1802 (59 years of age on the 1861 census).
>
> It is possible there was another brother, John TILLEY, born about 1828 in
Quebec. On the 1861 census his age is given as 33.
>
> I can find no record of the father so do not know whether he died in
Quebec before the family moved to Ontario or whether he died in Ontario.
>
> Hopefully someone can get me started on tracking this family.
