Dear List,
I'm trying to track down John Nugent from Ballinacurra, Rathgormack, Waterford, Ireland who emigrated to Canada circa 1870 to work for his uncle (his mothers brother), surname Gorman. John Nugent was born circa 1848 and died circa 1871 within 12 months of his arrival in Canada. We have no record of how he travelled to Canada or where he arrived in Canada. Is anyone able to advise me on where I might start looking for a death or immigration records for John. Johns sister Ellen, my great grandmother emmigrated to Australia with her sister Mary. She later moved to New Zealand where she worked in service to bring her sisters and brothers out under an immigration scheme in the late 1870's. In 1882 she returned to Australia where she married my Grandfahter Michael Dowling.
Regards
Peter Dowling
