Hello,
I just read the message to rootsweb of almost a year ago, inquiring about the Kingsley that came from Ontario. I also noted that the Harold Kingsley mentioned places that may be relevant. (I have not contacted him.)
So far, what I surmise is that my THOMAS & MARY (WEBB) KINGSLEY left Tipperary about 1852 for Canada first, and then sometime after the birth of their son WILLIAM (June 24, 1853) came down to the US. In Ontario a DIANA J. KINGSLEY was married to FREDERICK FALKINER, and they may have offered their home to my folk until they could start for the US. Diana is buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, London, Ontario. There's a William Kingsley there too, but he's not the William born in 1853. Family hearsay says that one of Thomas' brothers worked for the Harbor Police in Montreal, but I don't know if that's true!
They were Church of Ireland members.
There was an article published in "THE IRISH At Home and Abroad, Vol. 2, No. 2 (1994/95) on page 66 for about the Falkiners and the Kingsleys. Also, in the index to the 1871 Census of Ontario there were a couple of Kingsley's that sounded interesting - William in Wellington Ctre and EIiza in Grey South. Anything sound pertinent?
