I am the ggg daughter of Philip and Mary Gorman, both born in Ireland--and looking for any information you may have on either of them. They immigrated from Ireland to Three Rivers, Canada around 1822. I don't know if they met in Canada, or met and married in Ireland before immigrating.

Assuming Philip had his child between age 18 and age 40, he would have been born c. 1804-1826.
