William Buchanan and Ann Thompson

William Buchanan, son of Andrew and Jane Buchanan, married Ann Thompson Mar 24, 1846 in Ireland. William and Ann came to Canada in about 1847 with the rest of William's family. Their baby girl, whose name we don't know, caught the "immigrant fever" on board the ship and died not long after arrival in Kingston.

Unfortunately, I have had to take a lot of info off this page because of plagiarism. I had some wonderful descriptive paragraphs at this point on the page. It's really a shame that people think that whatever is online is free for their taking. Because of this, I have stripped all my genealogy pages down to the "bare bones" names & dates.

The purpose of having this information here is to contact other family members and researchers, so if you're out there, my email address is at the bottom of the page.
