McAvoy family tree

McAvoy family tree

Surnames: McAvoy, Judge
Hi my name is Alanna Gordon and I've been researching my family tree on my mother's side for a few years now and no matter where I look I can't seem to find any information on my grandfather. If anyone has any information on the McAvoy's in Northumberland county specifically in the Campbellford area I'd be very interested in what you find. I know my great grandfather's name was Thomas McAvoy and he was living there in 1921 but other than that I've been running out of places to look. My grandmother's name was Ethel Judge and I am looking for any information on her husband/father of her daughter Mary Ann McAvoy. If you have any information I'd be so happy to have it. Thanks.

Thank you very much for all the information you've looked into. Most of this information I have already stumbled across but it had never occurred to us that Best was a miss transcription of Bert. That actually helps quite a bit as we thought there was almost no records of him existing so far. I've recently been looking into his brother Clare's family but as far as I can tell they have all died out so any link they may have had to Bert appears to be lost somewhere in Detroit. Today I was at the Campbellford historical society and found an obituary showing Bert outlived his mother but disappeared somewhere in the states in the 40's. Again thanks for all the help so far.
