Hi All...
I am trying to find any info about the following:
Joseph SEARLE married Mary TRIM (possibly in England, possibly in Canada). I believe Joseph was born in Cornwall. They lived at Port Hope, Ontario when sons George, Henry and Samuel Trim were born in the 1840s. Another possible son named Joseph. They eventually moved to Guelph, Ontario by the 1860s. George SEARLE married 1st Ellen MACALLISTER and later to Elizabeth WHITE. His occupation was a baker.
Any info about this family would be appreciated.

Regards
Chris Bradshaw
 

Hi Astrid...
I have an ancestor who seems to come from Cornwall who seems to have settled
(at least temporarily at Port Hope in Durham County). Joseph SEARLE date of
birth currently unknown but both in Cornwall, married Mary Ann TRIM (another
Cornwall/Devon surname) and had at least 3 sons:
George SEARLE b:1844 Port Hope,
Henry SEARLE b:1845 Port Hope and
Samuel Trim SEARLE.

They all seem to have found their way to Guelph, Ontario by the 1860s.
George SEARLE has a baker by trade.
I haven't had a chance to trace this branch as much as I would like, but was
intrigued by your mentioning that there were some other Cornish folks in the
same area. Also, they seem to have been Roman Catholic.

Joseph then married Isabella McCowen.

Isabella McCowen was born Unknown and died Unknown. She was the daughter of Unknown.
