My father (Alexander Hassard b 1905 Bawnboy Boy) when I was very small had Irish friends
... no idea why or where from ... living in the Burlington, Hamilton area of Ontario. I’m
not sure if he knew them from Enniskillen or not. They were definitely Morrows ... maybe
Jim. If you need a place to start in Ontario .... ??? I believe my father immigrated in
about 1927.

Brenda,
I've just had a reply from my new 2nd Cousin once removed! He lives in Dublin.
I know that some of the Brittins of Tullyhommom, or Tober, in Boho went to Canada via New
York and there were Irvine connections in USA as well. I remember reading about a Fawcett
and a HASSARD being given a send off from Blacklion Co Cavan in the Early 1900s. My Uncle
Ben Crozier was emigrating around the same time, if not together.
I'd need to re-read those notes.
There used to be an Edward HASSARD married to Annie d/o Robert Sheridan c1940sand they
lived at Derrygiff. Annie had two Stepdaughters in Daisy and M?
Eddy and her had one Son David born about 1944.
Annie was Freddie's 2nd wife and I remember the gathering of Clothing Coupons for the
new Outfits for their wedding. yes clothing was rationed like Food during WW2!!
