This information is based on the Shouldice Family Album and the work done by L. Jenks, I am working on verification by census and marriage records and newspapers



Leonard Shouldice & Mary McQuade
Family research says Leonard was born in Tipperary, Mary in Killaloe. Leonard and Mary set out for Canada in 1829 and settled in Torbolton. Later they moved to Holland Twp in Grey County. I have found two mentions of a Leonard Sholdier/Shouldice in early Canadian documents. Both are from an election in Carelton County, Upper Canada in 1832 where voters were required to have a location ticket to vote The location ticket shows Leonard Shouldice living at Conc 6 Lot 1 Torbolton
To view the original documents you will need access to Early Canadiana Online
