Details: John is
a fairly new discovery, and I have almost no information on him, and even less
on his wife. According to my great-great grandfather's entry on a Northern
Irish census before the family moved to Canada, he was born in Antrim in
Northern Ireland, so I could assume that that is where they lived, but as of
this moment, I certainly can't assume John was ever there, because there's no
way of telling where he was or even if he was alive when his son was born. So
all I know is that he was Irish and has a rather Scottish/English surname.
Proof:
1) My
only current proof of John's existence is his son's death record in Vancouver,
BC. At this time, all I have for him is a name, and his wife's surname, and
where his son was born (from another bit of proof, but since John's not
mentioned on it, I won't use it as proof for him at this time). Unfortunately,
John Park is all too common a name. All I can do is hope to eventually find more
about him.
Needed:
I have absolutely no BMD info for John, and only a vague
notion that he was alive in 1850 or 1851, as that is about when his son was
born. Irish records are far more spotty for that sort of information,
especially when the family is Protestant, which mine was. At this time, all I
can think of to do is keep trying when I find new sources on his son, and hope
that more information will reveal itself.
If my family or anyone out there has any more information on
his family, I'd love to talk to you about him. I'd love to learn more if at all
possible.
