Possibly born in Waterford

I have no other info on James Sr. and Catherine but believe they came
as part of the Peter Robinson settlers who were sponsored by the
British government. There were two groups that came to Canada,
originally to the area near Peterborough, Ontario. One group came in
1823 as part of the Peter Robinson immigrants and I believe James
Brown Sr. was one of them. He ended up in Tingwick, Arthabaska, QC.
The second group came in 1825 and I believe Catherine Buckley was
part of that group. I have no proof of this but do have the passenger
lists and there were a James and a Catherine that would have been of
the right age to have been married in1834.
