Surnames: HILL STEWART PARK
Hi. William Hill and Grace Stewart are my 3rd great-grandparents, through their daughter Mary Ann Hill who married Samuel Park and settled in Kenmore (Osgoode) Ontario.
I've had no luck tracing them to Ireland.... and only know by family lore that her name was Grace Stewart/Stuart. I'll invite you to my tree; I'd love an invite to yours. Do you have any further info on the family?
Thanks,
Shirley Pearson (ne Park)

Hi Shirley,

William Hill and Grace Stewart are my 4th time great grandparents thought their son Robert. From my research William, Grace and their 5 children were all born in Ireland, specifically parts of Northern Ireland like Armagh, Down and Belfast. Not sure when exactly they immigrated to Canada, I am still looking into Immigration records.
The person who started this thread helped me gain information on the Hill family and I have been trying to take int farther from there.
From what I have found William and Grace had 5 children John, Mary Ann, William, Stewart and Robert. I don't know much from there other than Robert had a son names Robert and 12 other children (a prolific lot!). Robert Jr. had at least 3 children (still researching that) I would invite you to my tree but I don't know how to do that.
Hope this helps a bit
