Jean: I am interested in the William Ahern, married 1843. (16 Jan 1843 according to notes sent to me) You say that William was from Co. Cork. I have a Michael O'Hearn (AHearn) who married Mary Carroll on 14 Nov 1824 at Bartibog Bridge. Michael was also from Cork, the son of Timothy O'Hearn and Joan Buckley. Is your William connected to this Michael? Sorry, but no info on the Thompson or Morris names.

WILLIAM AHERN/MARGARET MCMANUS (no marriage date) JOHN MURDOCK/MARY MORRIS married 5/14/1845 St. Michaels Church in Chatham Mary was born in England in 1824 I am especially curious of the Thompson and Mary Morris as I have no info on them. I have information on the Ahern's and Murdock's that I can share. Thanks, Jean Ahearn Lakeland, FL

Hello Listers - as suggested by David Paterson a couple of weeks ago, I am listing the four main families I am researching - CASSIDY, McKINLEY/MacKINLEY, TAYLOR and McKNIGHT - all from Northumberland County - either having originated there (after arrival from Ireland and Scotland), or having lived there for many years. I am particularly interested in the origin of John Cassidy of Burnt Church who married Mary Anderson. Jack Cassidy, Ontario, originally from Newcastle.

Hullo Good People, I'm just about to leave for a Holiday in Britain. During my absence, the List will be in the capable hands of my good and kind friend Christine - ccaej@sympatico.ca. Please help her to keep this List running smoothly, and I'll think of you all while I'm gone. Thanks, David. This email was scanned with Norton Anti Virus 2002.

Many people are having problems because of the Hotmail bounces. I do not have an official statement on how to correct this problem though there are lots of conversations going on about it. What I have gathered (and no doubt someone somewhere will have more to say about all this) is that those of you using Hotmail accounts need to ensure that the Rootsweb Mailing Addresses are included in the Safe List in your security settings. As it appears that these bounces occur because Hotmail is treating the mail as spam, you will need to ensure that your account will accept the mail. I don't expect this to be a discussion topic on the List, any points you wish to raise should be done off-list. Thanks, David. This email was scanned with Norton Anti Virus 2002.

Hi Folks - it's that nasty old topic again - MAILBOXES! Please, please, try and keep enough space in them for your messages. If your boxes are full, you won't get your messages, so what's the point in being on a List? And, you might just miss out on a valuable piece of information. Unfortunately, at least some of those who this message is really directed to - WON'T GET IT!! because their boxes are full!! I wouldn't care to count the bounced messages per day I get just for that reason. So, help yourselves, and me at the same time, PLEASE? Thanks, David.

Have checked census records 1851-1901 but no trace of CHRISTINA LUCY ARBO. Did find a LUCY ARBO b.1876 in the 1881 census but cannot confirm she is the same person as CHRISTINA LUCY ARBO.

Hi Laurette, I am a descendant of Horace Austin of Doaktown. One of his sons was Hiram Austin whose son Horace Melville Austin married Christina Lucy Arbeau. (is this your Lucy?). Per my info, date of marriage was March 17, 1897. Christina Lucy was the daughter of Peter Arbeau and Dorothy Arbeau (no family name available). I have Christina Lucy's birth as May 18, 1874 (1901 census for Blissfield give her birth as May 11, 1974) and death as April 16, 1946. Her husband, Horace Melville Austin, was born December 18, 1873 in Parish of Ludlow, NB. I have nothing further on the Arbeaus. Have you tried New Brunswick Archives? Hope this is of some help.

Thanks to Patsy for her reply regarding my MURPHY ancestor's burial in Bathurst. Sorry I mistook Bathurst as being in Northumberland Co. instead of Gloucester. (We don't use similar county divisions here in Australia.) As far as I know, my g-g-g-grandfather's name was just plain James MURPHY, so maybe there was no gravestone or perhaps it hasn't survived. My Murphy ancestors, James and Catherine and infant John came from Ireland to PEI about 1832. Children Margaret (1832) and Edward (1835) were born in PEI. Daughter Catherine was bapt. at the Holy Family RC church in Bathurst in 1837. Catherine MURPHY (presumably widowed) was married to Thomas POWER 21 Nov. 1840 in the same church and they had six other children, also baptised there: Mary, 1841; Thomas, 1842; Morris, 1844; Michael, 1845; Nicholas, 1848; William, 1853. Some of these children (Mary, Morris and William) apparently died young, quite possibly in Bathurst. The family was living in Newcastle, NB, by the time of the 1861 census. I'd be delighted to accept Patsy's offer of details of the MURPHY gravestone inscriptions which have survived. Maybe some of them are associated with the later POWER connections and might lead me somewhere. Meanwhile, it sounds like I need to go back to basics and check the Holy Family church registers. I've looked on the LDS site for this church which states that the early registers include burials "in the early years". Someone else found the baptisms and marriage referred to above and commented that there were no death entries, but maybe I need to have another look. Having bungled my first post to this list, I'll regroup and post again in a couple of days about the MURPHY and POWER families in Newcastle, which I'm SURE is in Northumberland Co. Allan Murphy Sydney, Australia

With a daughter baptised in 1837 and his wife remarrying in 1840, I assume that my g-g-g-grandfather James MURPHY died in 1838 or 1839. As both of the other events are recorded in the registers of the Holy Family Catholic Church in Bathurst, NB, it seems quite possible that James MURPHY is buried there too, although there don't appear to be any burial registers. Would anyone closer to Bathurst than I am (which wouldn't be too difficult) know of transcripts of the relevant cemeteries in Bathurst or have suggestions as to how I might track down a grave (and hopefully a gravestone)? Allan Murphy Sydney, Australia

Hello Allan, I just went through the Murphy names of the gravestones of Gloucester Co., which includes Bathurst. There were several families here from that time, but no James. Could he have had another first name? Can you give me a couple of other names so I can look for the family members? Did his widow remarry here? One came from Kelbrin Co. Cork, born about 1837 and another from Templemore, born about 1800, and so on. There have been an awful lot of stones just lost, and the Holy Family is not being cooperative at all in that they are saying there are no burial records. This is a straight out-and-out lie as they have been seen some years ago by my sister and others. The bishop here is a real detriment to our research. (unless of course you are French, then it is a different story). Would you like all the Murphy names so that you can analyze from there? I can send them via email (no charge of course). sincerely..........Patsy Hennessy Genealogy - Gravestone Inscriptions for Gloucester and Restigouche Co. NB http://www.bathurstgen.com
