The Ash family spent one hundred fifty years farming in Willoughby, Warwickshire in England, while the Redmond family fished and farmed in St Margaret's Bay, just south of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. My wife Fran's family came from France to Quebec in the 17th century, and both our families had pioneers who experienced the Scottish Clearances. This book is about the history that they and their ancestors lived - from the prominent Redmond and Devereux families in County Wexford, Ireland, to the pioneers who lived in early Canadian history.
