Still could be the same. JG Weir's father was Robert Weir and his mother Catherine Graham. They were from Fermanagh, Ireland, They arrived in the 1820s and lived in Otonabee Township, Peterborough County.

JGW's oldest brother Francis was 20 years older than him, and I believe it was his son that went to Manitoba. JGW also had a brother Robert who had at least one son and daughter son and daughter. Another brother went to Iowa.

Does your family have a Peterborough connection?

my father ,norman weir son of john graham weir and hannah mcleod allways said that his grandfather was burried in peterborough area but I do not remember if his name was John graham weir as well .It was an uncle who did some research and gave me this info.

all of them have passed on some time ago so am at a loss as to what is right other than my grandfather is burried in Lone ridge cemetery in Alberta and is on a 1916 census from Strathcona county in alberta along with my dad and his siblings.
Dad also did talk about some relation being in Manitoba but I don't know who..wished I had paid more attention or asked more questions, because now that i am older i guess it means more

Hi there, this is a very old post I hope this information gets to you. Valentine Tennyson and Rachel were my Great, Great, Great grandparents. My name is Derek Meiklejohn and I was born and raised in Marmora. Valentine and Rachel's Daughter Carrie Tennyson was my great, great grandmother and she married John Burns. John and Carrie's daughter Myrtle Burns married my great grandfather Leslie Phillips. Leslie and Myrtle's son Don Phillips was my grandfather, he passed away in 2009. His son Brian Phillips is my father. I have piles and piles of information on all the family members of all of the people I just mentioned, I would love to hear from you. I live in Peterborough now.

Surnames: Weir, Graham, Elliott
I have a photo of John Graham Weir and his wife, Lovinia Tennyson Weir. My 2x great grandmother was JG Weir's sister, Catherine Weir Elliott. JG and Lovinia had no children. There seems to be a misunderstanding among some people who have family trees (such as on MyHeritage.com). I believe they have mixed up my John Graham Weir with another living in Canada. John Graham Weir was one of 15 children. Their parents, Robert and Catherine (Graham) Weir emigrated from Country Fermanagh in Ireland in 1822. I have extensive research on this family and many confirmed extended family lines. I'd be happy to share! I received photos and copies of the Weir family bible from descendants of another Weir sibling, Isabella Weir Mitchell, as well. I'd love to know who George Francis Weir is and how he fits into the family tree!!

There's a tree on Ancestry by Andrew Leitch which shows Robert Weir and Catherine Graham and their birth dates/place/marriage/deaths. They were born in Fermanagh, Ireland & married there on 12 March 1818. By about 1822, they had immigrated to Ontario, Canada, settling on Con. 11 Lot 24 Otonabee Tp., Peterborough County. They had 4 sons & 3 daughters:
http://trees.ancestry.ca/tree/490633/person/6956287846?ssrc=

Robert & Catherine's son, James Weir, born in Otonabee Tp., Peterborough County, abt 1836, married Letitia Jane Mitchell on Feb 23 1860. James died and Letitia Jane remarried on 26 Sep 1867 to Charles Lowes. Charles Lowes and Letitia Jane were on the 1871 Census with both Lowes children and Weir children in their household. Their family was on the 1891 Census for Manitoba, Marquette, Cyprus North so that is how the Weirs got there. Letitia Jane died there 18 Sep 1895 & Charles Lowes remarried. So: Robert Weir had James Weir who had John Graham Weir in 1864 & John married Hannah McLeod in Manitoba in N. Cypress in 1887.
