John SLATER and Bridget TORMEY
County Wicklow, Ireland to Bytown, early 1840's
November 1, 2007:
Hi Al,
I don't know if you've heard of this guy, but his death cert is attached, and shows
him to be from Wicklow. His age exactly fits a John Slater on the FW CD, but nothing
else does. So disappointing.
Below is John Slater in 1881. In 1851 he was a carpenter in Aylmer, Que. His wife and
family are listed on the following page, next to Bridget Simpson Whelan from
Ballynultagh, County Wicklow who is on our chart on Bytown or Bust.
John SLATER M Male Irish 70 Ireland Storekeeper Catholic
Bridget SLATER M Female Irish 60 Ireland Catholic
Margrat SLATER Female Irish 24 O. Catholic

Hi Al,
After working on the ND records, I'm so grateful to Sue for easy reading of her
transcriptions of the early ND marriages!
All our old friends are named there, including this marriage for your page on John
Slater of Wicklow, with the interesting news that his first wife was a Burns / Byrne:
1842 31 Oct
