Benjamin GEROW's daughter Jane (b. 1808 Pickering) married George RIDDLE of Ireland, in Hallowell, Prince Edward County 12 June 1834.
George Riddle was born @ 1809 in Ireland, most likely in Turlough, County Mayo.

Turlough parish, possibly named for the disappearing lakes of the limestone areas of Ireland. In 1837 there were places of worship for Presbyterians and Wesleyan Methodists. There is a Museum of Country Life on the grounds of Turlough Park House.
photos of Turlough, including a plaque which describes the first church being established by Saint Patrick, and him baptising many people at a nearby well, and a lovely image of 'one of the best preserved round towers of Ireland'

We believe George's parents were Robert Riddle or Riddell from Londonderry, Ireland, who married Bessie BOOTH. Robert's parents James Riddell and Eliza MARTIN were also from Londonderry, but James's father was from Scotland, most likely from the Roxborough area.George Riddle continued to identify his religious affiliation as 'Church of Scotland' (Presbyterian)

Turlough is in Ireland, and Londonderry is part of Northern Ireland.
Happy Saint Patrick's day!
