I'm looking for my G,G,G,Grandfather, Patrick Nowlan,(Nowlin). He was born around 1784, I think . He was married to Sarah Eagles. She was born in 1784. If I can find out his correct birth date, or his son Robert's correct birth date, it would complete my Nowlan family line in Canada, and may even lead to links over in Ireland. The problem I'm having is the census tells me that
Robert was born in 1809, but other information from books state that he was born in 1825. The same as his first wife, Arminilla Eagles, born abt. 1825, and his second wife, Roseanna Coldwell, born in 1825. 1825 makes more Census when you do the math according to his children's birth dates. Other information I have on Patrick states he was born in 1797 which makes this all the more confusing. I've been looking at this problem for over two years now, and I haven't much hair left. I live in Ontario, so correct information is hard to come by. If anyone can help me, or let me know of some one who could, I would appreciate this greatly.
