Marriage Record

The 1857 Griffith Survey indicates a George Knowles lived at 55 The Hill in Granard. It is possible there is a connection with George Knowles given that there was only one Knowles in Longford and only two Knowles families in Cavan County. |

Young William Wallace Knowles leaves Ireland between May 1872 and Mary 1873 for Montreal where he becomes a policeman. It is unclear why he left or what became of his parents. It seems surprizing he would leave after helping out on the farm for so long. |
