Hi,

I am searching for information regarding Mathew and Margaret(Peggy) Gallivan who arrived in St John New Brunswick Canada in 1941. They had left Cork and journeyed to the New World. I presume they were in thir late twenties and had married in Ireland before they set sail. They settled in St. John and had four sons and one daughter. The sons were named Mathew, Thomas, John, and Michael and the daughter was named Margaret. John was born in 1844 and became a mariner whe he was old enough and travelled to England where he married Alice Purcell, also of Cork, in Liverpool in 1870. They were my great-grandparents. Alice's father is listed on their marriage certificate as Roger Purcell, a farmer from Cork Ireland.

Could anyone please give me any idea as to gaining information regarding Margaret and Mathew Gallivan's time in Cork or how to trace Roger Purcell?

I would be most grateful for any information.

Margaret
