           The families I am researching in Lanark are: JAMES, BUTLER, WARREN, CHAMNEY, RATH, MONTGOMERY, RATHWELL/ROTHWELL, HALPENNY, JACKSON, CODE/CODD/COAD.

           Joseph CHAMNEY and wife Jane TRACEY emigrated from Co Wicklow, Ire.  They had children Rebecca, Henrietta and John.  Joseph (d. 31 Aug 1855) and Jane (d. 05 Sep 1849) and are buried St George's Anglican Church, Con.l, Lot 16, Ramsay Twp.  John is buried with them.  Rebecca Chamney HALPENNY is listed on a stone in this same cemetery with husband Isaac HALPENNY and first wife Alice FRIZELLE.
           The 1861 Drummond Twp census lists Rebecca (age 23 = b.c. 1838) and Henrietta CHAMNEY (age 19 = b.c. 1842) with James JACKSON and wife Eliza FRIZELLE (the above Alice's sister).  James is the son of James JACKSON and wife Sarah "??".  The elder James JACKSON who married Sarah "??" left money to his "beloved nieces", Rebecca and Henrietta CHAMNEY.
           The dates on the tombstone for Rebecca Chamney HALPENNY says "d ae 45y on 20 Sep 1888" - b.c. 1843 (Irish Research says 27 April 1838).  There seems to be no burial or marriage information in the Anglican Archives for Rebecca.
           Henrietta CHAMNEY, Drummond Twp, married Joseph DAVIS of Elizabethtown, Leeds Co., 31 Dec 1866.  The witnesses were James JACKSON and Sarah J. ENNIS.(Anglican Archives).  Irish research indicates that she was b. Co. Wicklow, Ire. Jan 3 1843 - her tombstone says 03 Jan 1842.
           I am almost positive that the Rebecca's listed above are all the same person and that she and Henrietta were the children of Joseph and Jane CHAMNEY, but would like proof. Also, can anyone help in identifying how James JACKSON Sr and wife Sarah were related to Rebecca and Henrietta?  Any CHAMNEY information would be appreciated.  Have quite a bit to share.
