Searching:  MUNRO, REDMOND

Query:
I am hoping someone can help me, I know my gr-gr grandparents resided in Dundas county, in the area's of Inkerman, Matilda and Mountain. Their names were Alexander and Catherine Redmond Munro.
Alexander's father was John, I can't read his mother's name (on Alexander's death certificate). Catherine's father was Robert Redmond and her mother was Chatterson/Bebee Lacy.  My question is where could I write for any records that might tell me the full names of Alexander's parent's, and Catherine Redmond's parent's. The records I would like to purchase copies of. I'm sure they owned a considerable amount of property.
Alexander's middle name was Hector, and he and his wife and children moved to the USA about 1855( a guess).
I would love to find his parents and siblings, if there were any. I sincerely hope I'm not asking for a lot, but a few addresses, where I might write to for records would be great. thank you very much.

Their older daughter, Martha M., b. 1839 may have been born in Ireland.
 I expect that they were famine immigrants to Canada.  They didn't stay long in Canada; by 1855, they moved to Ogdensburg, where Samuel H. DIXON, Sr. is listed as a grocer.  However, Elizabeth Ann GILL seems to have been the duaghter of William J. Gill, who was born in Ireland, c.1780 and died in Upper Canada, Mar, 1871.  He had a son named Thomas GILL, who was a farmer near Cornwall, Ont. He marrried Alice GREEN; they had several children, one of whom became the second wife of William MCEWEN, after Martha DIXON's death in 1862.  There must have been considerable contact between the Canadian family and the states.

I am looking for a John Pratt b. abt. 1813 married to an Elizabeth Unknown b. abt 1821 both born in Ireland.

Searching:  PEARSON

Query:
Joseph and Jane (HARRISON) PEARSON left Cumberland County England
sometime after 1818 and before 1821. Three sons and two daughters were with them, the youngest of whom was born in 1818. Unfortunately, this child died aboard ship and was buried at sea. The family settled in "Matilda, Lower Canada" (as written in the family journal), where a daughter Jane PEARSON, my great, great grandmother, was born on September 27, 1821. The family lived there for about 12 years before moving to Niagara Co., New York and eventually to Sandusky Co., Ohio, where I live today.
Since all of her siblings were baptized in the Protestant faith in Kirkoswald, Penrith England, I would assume that Jane PEARSON would also have been baptized in some church in Matilda, Canada. I would like to know what churches there were in Matilda in the time period of her birth. I also am hoping to find someone who might also be connected to the PEARSON families.
