My Greatgrandfather William Whitehall was born somewhere in England in 1847. I am looking for the specific place and date. He came to Canada ca 1863, and worked as a cooper with the railroad, eventually becoming a fireman with the CNR. He married Mary Ellis Cawse in London, Ontario, April 26, 1870. They had 8 children, one of whom was my grandmother Emily Whitehall. He died in London, Ontario on February 19, 1924. His parents were William and Anne, but I have no other info on them. Any new info on this family I would greatly appreciate. You may e-mail me at maryoconnor@eol.ca
Thanks,
Mary
