WordPress.comThis may be of interest to some of you--it says Nova Scotia,
but it's the Chaleur Bay area where these folks lived. I've corresponded
with some of you about the Eedy letters before, but the Morgan Will is new
to me.

Bandon:
New Brunswick:
The National Library in the Bathurst collection, 1923 Historical Manuscripts has a letter from Lord Carbery. He comments on widespread poverty and emigration. The tradesmen going to the United States and the labourers going the New Brunswick. Some time after the Eddys from Bandon were corresponding to and from New Brunswick and comment on the widespread poverty and near starvation of poor Protestants in the Bandon following the collapse of the woolen trade. These are held in the Cork Archives and the reference is given below:
I found US emigration and census records that show that Robert Eedys sister Lydia and her husband Wills Anstice and some of their children actually made their way to Philadelphia USA.

I am excited to learn that you have found the Anstice family in Philadelphia. I always wondered what had become of them. Could you supply more details?! The original letters are in the possession of my family.

This is fascinating. Some Eedy and Jermyn families emigrated to Canada around the same time and settled just outside of what is now Toronto. They intermarried and moved to farm land just outside of London, Canada. They are probably also related. Wonderful letters.

My grandfather, Thomas Jermyn, was from Ballydehob. He came to the USA abt 1897 (family says) and finally settled in Rochester, NY. I do know that some cousins also went to Canada and Australia. I traveled to Ballydehob in 2014. Tried to search for clues on where my family may have originated…England or France is what I have come up with but would love to know for sure. If anyone has any information, please write me.
Thanks,

I am a direct descendent of William Eedy. Our family still own the land in New Brunswick that he settled on in the parish of New Bandon, Gloucester County. These letters are very moving.
