Waring/Watters Antrim, Belfast, N. Ireland

Classification: Query
Surnames: Waring Watters
I am searching for my Great Grandfather, George Watters abt. 1898 and Great Great Grandparents, George Watters and Rachel T Waring. They immigrated to York South, Toronto, Ontario about 1911 from County Antrim, Belfast, N. Ireland. George Jr had 5 siblings, James, John, Annie, Minnie and Lillie. John, James and George all enlisted in the Canadian Army during WWI in 1917. Annie Married Alexander McCulluogh (sp?).

Rachel's maiden name shows up as Worry on all the canadian documents that I have found, but I believe this to be a transcription error... or someone who didn't quite get her name through the Irish accent.

I believe that Rachel had a brother, William b. abt 1875. I have not found further records on them in Ireland, however. I believe she may have been born elsewhere. The 1911 Census of Ireland shows a "brother in law-William Waring" living with some of her family (George Sr., Minnie, Annie and George Jr.)

If anyone has info or is related, please let me know!
