Surnames: Tupper, Jeffrey
Hi, am trying to track down more information on a Elizabeth Tupper b. abt. 1799 and married Robert Jafferey/Jeffrey in Quebec City in 1818. In trying to find out more information I have found that there was a John Tupper in St. Adolphe-de-Dudswell, Wolfe co., in the mid 1700's, he was a mariner and lost at sea. Am thinking that he must be connected to the family I'm looking for.
Children of Elizabeth and Robert were
Caroline b. 1822
Robert Andrew Jeffrey b. 1827
Margaret Stockwell Jeffrey b. 1830
Hannah Pozer Jeffrey b. 1832
Elizabeth b. 1834
George b. 1836
Harriet b. 1838
Julia Heathfield Jeffrey b. 1842

Hannah Pozer was my gggrandmother she married Richard Norton b. in England.
I have more information on this family and would be happy to share.

Surnames: Tuppers and Burns
Hi,

My Gr-gr-gr-grandfather was Enoch Burns b: 2 Nov. 1807 in Ascot, Sherbrooke, Quebec. His father was James Burns (b: @ 1785 in Sherbrooke), son of Thomas Burns (?)

Enoch's mother was Hannah Tupper (b: @ 1786 in Dudswell, Wolfe County, Quebec), daughter of John Tupper and Hannah Hardy. Could my Hannah be a sister to your Elizabeth?

Enoch had a brother named Michael Orlando b:@1809. Shortly after Michael was born, Hannah left for the U.S. leaving Enoch behind with James. I don't know if she took the baby Michael with her, but I assume she must have as nothing more is mentioned about him in Grandpa Enoch's lifestory.

Do you have anymore info on the Tuppers that might help us make a match? I would be interested in learning more about them. Thanks.

Hi,

I sure hope this is still your e-mail address, you posted this such a long time ago, the chances are, it's not. But, it's worth a shot anyway!

I am also a descendent of Enoch's. Enoch is my great great grandfather through his son Jacob. I have the basic, passed down information on Enoch's father James and his wife Hannah Tupper. I was just wondering if you have found anything else out.

You do know something that I had never heard. In your posting you mentioned that Hannah left for the US and left James and Enoch behind. Where did you get this information? You are the first that I have seen, to have something different, and I am so interested.

Seeing your last name as Taylor, I figure you where tracing the line through Michael Orlando. Have you had any break throughs or even found a little bump? Is there any record of Hannah coming to the US? Or where she might have stayed. I know Enoch married in 1842 in Illinois, I tried there, but did not figure out a thing.

If you have anything, that might would help, I would really appreciate a hint. Would you know if there is any way of getting a copy of Michael's marriage certificate? Some or one person, I am not sure, but anyway, give the marriage as 26 Nov 1829 in Ascot Sherbrooke Canada.

I have a friend that is working on genealogy also, she also has people in Canada, but we have not found any good link to help us in either of our searches... If you can't help with the Burns line, would you know of any Links that might would help, for birth, marriage, death, etc.?

Anything you might be able to help with will be so greatfully appreciated!

Hope to hear from you!
Sheila

Hi,
I know this thread is really old, but I've had the same email address forever, so maybe you do too.

I am also a decedent of Enoch Burns. I came across this post while doing some research. I noticed you mentioned a lifestory for Grandpa Enoch and wondered how I might be able to obtain a copy?

You can contact me directly at mgullickson@shaw.ca

Thanks so much!
