Matthew moved his family to Canada in 1834 from the parish of Drumachose, in the county of Londonderry.  This information was discovered in the book Irish Immigration List, 941.6 W2m obtained at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.  They landed in St. John's, Newfoundland.  In the will of William Nodwell, he leaves one pound 5 shillings to his second son Matthew of St. Johns.  It would appear that in 1845 at the time of William's death Matthew and his family were still living in St. John's or did they land in Newfoundland and immediately move to New Brunswick or did the ship first land in Newfoundland then continue on to Saint John New Brunswick where the family disembarked?
