General Notes

I am not totally sure if this Nicholas is a son to Edward.  I do not know where i got the info stating he was.   suspect the info came from A. Furgus, but i did not record it.  The fact is tho that he did also come from Kennytown area along with Thomas Balfe, who married Sally Kenny.
My records from Andree Balfe Fergus shows Nicholas dying 4-23-1885 and being 93 years old.  This would make his father only 12 , according to her notes.  Perhaps the fathers year isn't correct.

I also got from the Rideau Recorder on the date 4 April, 1889, , it showed a N. Balf, that died in Winnipeg, age 80. I think this is not the right person though.

Lived in Kitley Ontario on the 1848 census, with aledged brothers, Thomas and John
