Surnames: Rea, Steele, McFall
I am researching this family on behalf of cousins who are direct descendants of Matthew Rea & Hannah Steele. (George Rea, son of the above, and his wife Jane McFall moved to Scotland and was the grandfather of my cousins).

I have found information on ancestry re other children of Matthew & Hannah eg sons William and John who went to Winnipeg, Canada but have been unable to make contact with anyone who has posted their trees to the site as I am not a member.

Would be grateful if anyone can help.

I am related to Lillie Ann Rea ( great granddaughter), who married George Clack born in Scotland. who came to Canada with the 93rd Higlanders in 1838. Andrew Rea. her brother, and Lillie Ann.came to Canada in early 1830's. . I assumed their father came with them, but maybe they came without them as they would have been teens. I know Andrew -her brother- is buried in Kingston. Lillie Ann Rea Clark is buried in Hamilton. I have more dat I can share if you need it.Jessie Engan.

Thank you for the response, I would be very grateful for any information you have on this family in Canada especially. One of the interesting aspects has been finding that Matthew Rea, son of Matthew & Hannah, ended up in Ontario, just 15 minutes drive from where my cousin Jean (Rea) Spellacy settled in Mississauga 40 years ago!
