Dawn Hicks smyttie_b1875@primus.ca l- 416-266-6921. I have been reviewing my Sparkhall/Worts files.
I
have a copy of Cubitt SPARKHALL Sr.'s will and in it he names "James
WORTS, miller, now of Bungay" as one of his executors. I am sure
now that this is the same James WORTS that you have written about. Love
to hear from you.

I have been reading with much interest, the
Gooderham and Worts story. For some time I have been looking for info
on my 3xg-grandmother Mary WORTS. Yesterday I received an e-mail from
a fellow Worts researcher who tells me that Mary and her children (6) (her
husband Cubitt SPARKHALL was now deceased and he had remarried David
Gallant) were in the Gooderham and Worts party that came over in 1832.
I know that they had come over, as had my 3xg-grandfather and his family in
1832.
Mary's daughter Mary SPARKHALL married John
SMYTH son of Thomas SMYTH and Elizabeth SPENCER. I am wondering if
John and his family were aboard the same ship and the party and perhaps that
is how they met or perhaps they knew each other before coming to Canada.
I see on your history that they came across on the ship "Ann".
This is a good clue for me as I shall now try to find a passenger list.
You wouldn't happen to have the ships list for the
"Ann", would you?
I descend from John and Mary's son Henry
>B. Joseph > Goerge Henry.
Willing to share any family history that
you may be interested in.
