AFTER THEY LEFT ULSTER: George Peacock's Funeral in 1948

Jessie Peacock, surrounded by her grandchildren. December, 1948 - Funeral of George Nelson Peacock.

INTRODUCTION

As Thomas O'Hanlon said in his 1975 book, The Irish "are citizens of the world. When the time is propitious, they migrate with the natural instincts of wild geese, travelling ancient routes to Boston, London, Vancouver or Sydney."

This blog is dedicated to compiling information about the descendants of Hugh Peacock (Ellen Waggot) and Thomas Peacock (Sarah Smith) wild geese of Ulster who immigrated to Canada and lived on the same property in King Township, York County, Ontario in the mid-nineteenth century before moving to other parts of Canada and the US.

The land documents in Muskoka were diligently searched by Barbara, a great granddaughter of George Nelson Peacock.

Photos have been contributed by:

DP, JP, MG, BT, ST and SMc of Ontario, Canada, descendants of John Peacock; GB of Washington State, USA, a descendant of Sarah (Peacock) Beldon; and TW of Alberta, Canada, a Grant descendant of Mary Jane (Peacock) Grant Stanlake.
