Hi Melissa,
did you track down your Eedy yet. I keep running into Eedy information while researching the
Beamish and
Jermyn of Toronto
Gore twp,
Peel Co, Ontario. They were all Anglican from
Cork, and they settled in the
Gore in 1830s which is where I find most of them, then around 1842 some moved to
Biddulph twp, Middlesex, Ontario close to where the
Jermyn families settled near
Granton. A Ellen
Jermyn married a Charles Eedy in the
Gore,might be more links as well, but a Joseph Eedy married a Elizabeth
Beamish and most of the
Beamish went to
Simcoe County and other near township, they spread out quite a bit after teh 1860s. So depending on where in Ontario your Eedy was from he could be descended from these families. The Toronto
Gore township is quite close to Toronto and it served as a launching pad to many families. After they made some money and learned farming in Canada, they usually moved out to buy cheaper land in further township.
