  came from Glenavy. I think there is a good possibility she was related to other Oakman family in Peterborough County Asphodel Twp area although that is still to be proven. We just haven't found the connection. On the 1851 census for Asphodel they have a daughter Isabella with them that my cousin Linda Montain(now deceased) and I never knew about surprise, surprise. That is genealogy for you full of surprises.. The other thing we cannot find is any kind of a passenger record for them when they left Ireland. Do not know if they came to Canada or through the USA.

• Marriage*: before 1835; Ireland; "Hello Dan, I ran across your website while searching for more information on William English b County Antrim ca 1804. Just wanted to let you know for your records that William married Jane Oakman b ca 1797 Ireland think she
  came from Glenavy. I think there is a good possibility she was related to other Oakman family in Peterborough County Asphodel Twp area although that is still to be proven. We just haven't found the connection. On the 1851 census for Asphodel they have a daughter Isabella with them that my cousin Linda Montain(now deceased) and I never knew about surprise, surprise. That is genealogy for you full of surprises.. The other thing we cannot find is any kind of a passenger record for them when they left Ireland. Do not know if they came to Canada or through the USA. Have checked passenger records until my eyes are popping out of my head. Regards Lillian McCrimmon" per email from Lillian McCrimmon, May 7, 2008. per 1851 Census.; Principal=William English^2,3
