Biography

According to Family Tree on the FamilySearch website, Adam Cantlon was born in Templeharry, co Offaly, Ireland in 1815, one of the six children of John Cantlon (1778-1874) and Elizabeth Legeer (1786-1841) and the grandson of John Cantelon and Mary Bible of Kilcooley, Tipperary. Most of the descendants of John emigrated to Canada, although Adam came to Australia and then to New Zealand.

TROVE mentions a fire, and two children being killed. I wonder whether it was this family. What happened to Sarah.

Debra, Ihave added a link to the Family Tree entry on this family, and also to the Wikitree profile of Adam's grandfather. If you think his father was indeed John, then feel free to link the family up formally.
