We have traced my family back as far as a Henry Ferris b. in Hanover about 1832. By 1858, he had immigrated to NY where my great great grandfather and siblings were all born. According to my aunt, my great uncle claimed the Ferris' were originally of English and Scottish descent.

I know Hanover was closely tied and under British rule during the 17 and 1800s until 1837. I was thinking they left Hanover shortly after the British lost any political leverage.

I've searched without luck and was wondering if there are any Hanover censuses or British censuses of citizens living in Hanover
