I thought this was the CANADA SURNAME list, not the CANADA country list.

Subject: [CANADA-SURNAME] Hitchingham/Murphy-Breen
Hello List,
I am having problems with a brick wall...I am looking for info on my gg
grandfather Bernard "Barney" HITCHINGHAM b. abt. 1827 Ireland...At some
point
he went to Canada and there he married a widow with two small
children...Bridget MURPHY b. Nov. 2, 1828 Ireland, had been married to a
Mr.
BREEN and had a son, Daniel and a daughter, Mary...Bernard and Bridget
married about 1864 in Canada...Bernard and Bridget had a son while still
living in Canada, John "Jack" HITCHINGHAM/HITCHENHAM b. abt. 1865
Canada...The family then came to Michigan, where the two Breen children
took
the Hitchingham name, and settled in the Washtenaw Co., MI area...The
couple
had two more sons, Thomas Edward b. July 25, 1867, and James b. Sept. 18,
1869 MI...Bernard died in 1888 and Bridget until 1912 and they are buried
in
St. John's Cemetery in Ypsilanti, Michigan...If anyone can help with info
on
this family I would surely appreciate it...I believe Bridget married Mr.
Breen in Canada also...Info on that couple may also help me get
somewhere...Thanks in advance for any forthcoming info....Lynette
