Ferons (Fearons) in Montreal, Canada

Hi Clark,

One way to try and connect the two would be through church records. If you can find baptism records for these men and compare parent?s names, or if they married in Ireland you may be lucky and find their marriage records which can sometimes list father?s names. Most Catholic records are held locally so you may need to write to the local parish priest for possible assistance. One website that you may find useful is the Irish Times where they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. It also shows you where copies of the records are available. For Kilevey parish, follow this link:

Most surviving Church of Ireland records are still held by the local clergy, although some are in the National Archives of Ireland and others are in the Representative Church Body Library in Dublin. Here are their websites: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ and http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42

Lists of these surviving registers can also be found at the National Library of Ireland.
