I am looking for any information about my father's family. My father is John Michael Ring from Antigonish, his parents were Dan Archibald Ring and Elizabeth (Lizzy) nee Bowers of West Lakevale. My g-grandparents were Michael Ring of Hallowell Grant and Margaret Isobel MacNeil of Morristown. GG-parents were Thomas Ring and Mary (Mahoney) Ring of Hallowell Grant. Margaret Ring has a brother named Angus MacNeil and a sister Lydia MacNeil of Antigonish. Do any of these names "Ring" a bell?

I have this fron the 1891 census :
Ring Thomas M 55 W Head
Ring Catharine F 30 Dau
Ring Michal M 21 Son
The district is Mahoney Beach - Morristown, Antigonish County. It looks like Thomas was a a widower.
IUt also shows that he was born in Nova Scotia, his father was born in Ireland, mother was born in Scotland and he was Catholic. Hope this helps.

Hi Lisa,

My Great-grandmother was Christina Ring. My great-grandfather, DAniel MacLellan, married Christina Ann Ring 14 July 1896 in St Columba Church, Lakevale, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, daughter of Thomas Ring and Mary Mahoney.

I'm quite sure these are the Rings you are seeking. My dad is the genealogist and has a handle on the Rings so why don't you send me your email address and I'll pass it on to him so he can communicate with you directly. We were visited by a Mike Ring who lives in Ontario (I think-I can't keep track of things these days!!) My dad keeps in touch with him. My address is shoreline.adv@ns.sympatico.ca

talk to you soon,

Trudy Dunn
