Looking for any relatives of John M Stoops born in Ireland in 1878. Jack as he was known was married to Sadie Moffatt,my grandmother's sister. I have the obit where it says he is buried in the family plot in Mountainview Cemetary. They lived in Fort William. Aunt Sadie is also buried there.
Would love to hear from any Stoops.
Cheers
Diane

Hi Diane: Find this interesting. My husband as you can see has the same last name as you. What is more interesting is he has a Grace Stoops that married a John Johnston in Ireland and from what we can find immigrated to Canada in the early 1850's. They eventually settled in Owen Sound, Ontario. We have quite a bit of information on their children, etc. What do you know on the Stoops family...have you got a Grace by any chance in the family that married a Johnston?

Ten years later I am reading this and have no way of knowing if you are still apart of this website - but here goes - GRACE STOOPS by virture of marrying JOHN JOHNSTON is my five times great grandmother and their decendants are still a vital part of the Owen Sound area - though I am in London, Ont.! Do any of you now have information of the how and why of their journey to Grey County from Northern Ireland? My four times great grandfather SAMUEL JOHNSTON (their oldest son) marries a Scottish lass MARY EMILY JAMESON (sp?) in 1852 in Scotland (near Dundee) and the next information has them in "Ontario" in 1855 having their first child! By the 1861 census - JOHN AND GRACE and their entire extended family are in Ontario too! I'd really like to fill in the blanks if I can - getting JOHN AND GRACE and their incredible family from Ireland (Scotland) to Ontario, Canada! Does anyone know what port they sailed from, in what year and where they landed? Anything more than I have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Stoops family!
