This may or may not be a late Christmas present. The McCabe List from 1829
(I'll explain what that is after I give the Hobbs information) includes a
William Hobbs, from the parish and town of Borrisokane in County Tipperary.
William was applying on behalf of his brother-in-law, Robert Wellwood, having
a family who resides in Borrisokane and is known to Captn. Towers of Said
Place.
The McCabe list is named after the genealogist who found the list in the
English Public Record Office. It was a petition as of Feb 1829 by residents
in the Bytown area (now known as Ottawa), listing families members still in
Ireland who would come to Canada if they received government assistance.
They generally named a gentleman of respectability who could vouch for the
family, in the Hobbs case it was Captain Towers. You didn't mention where
your Hobbs family lived but if they were in the Ottawa area, this may very
well be them.
Since your family is Protestant, you might want to try a book written about
the early settlement in Ontario by northern TIpperary Protestant families.
(The book is "Irish Migrants in the Canadas - A New Approach" by Bruce S
Elliot, McGill-Queens University Press 1988. Dr Robert Hobbs formerly of
Borrisokane, and William Hobbs named in the Birch Petition, are mentioned.)
They began arrriving in 1818 and settled in the Carp Valley in western
Carleton. I cannot remember the name of the book but I am sure that someone
out there on the list knows it. If no one comes up with it, let me know and
I'll track it down. We may have a copy in the Iowa Genealogical Society's
library. I'll check.
