When the article by Elaine Carey is posted, KEEP THE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ALIVE!!!

Davidson [email protected] Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census ------------------------ CENSUS PRIVACY HAS BEEN KEPT FOR LONG ENOUGH Re 1906 census a locked treasure trove, June 9. I believe that the information given by our great-grandparents to the enumerators back in 1906 belongs to us now. As an amateur genealogist, I have used information from previous census records, and I always feel triumphant when I find an ancestor's birthdate, or how many siblings they had, or where they lived, or if they lost a parent at an early age, etc. It brings them closer to me. I am not a grandparent, nor am I retired, but I have a strong desire to find my roots so I can pass something concrete on to my children. Having access to historical census records is very important to genealogists worldwide. Great Britain and the U.S. offer their records online, so the whole world can see them. What is StatsCan hiding? This legal wrangling is costing us, the taxpayers, a lot of money. I am not a lawyer, but I'd like to give my interpretation of the words given to the enumerators of 1906. The enumerators were our great-grandparent's neighbours, working for the government. The enumerators walked from door to door with paper and pen to take the census, information given to them by their neighbours. The government told these enumerators to tell the people, some of whom would be extremely reluctant to give such personal information out to the enumerators, that they, meaning the enumerators/neighbours, wouldn't blab about the information given to them to other neighbours over backyard fences. After 92 years, we can reasonably assume that all the people directly involved in the census of 1906 have died, and so the privacy promised to them was kept for all those years. Now the information given by the people of 1906, our great-grandparents, should be stored in the Public Archives so the people of 2002 can find that information and use it to answer the questions about their nationality for StatsCan on the next census. What's the problem here? There is no need for further studies, or government bills, or legal opinions, or town-hall meetings, or court battles. It's time for StatsCan to come to its senses.

Hello Listers: I have been trying to find a birth record for George MULLIGAN who, according to an obituary was born in Ottawa in 1868. I have not been able to find this registration on any Ontario films. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to where else I might look to find this birth that apparently was in the Ottawa area. Mr. Mulligan lived in Port Arthur, Ontario for 40 years. I believe his mother was an Emmily (correct as noted in a bible) Mulligan who died at Templeton September 30, 1875, aged 35 years. I think Templeton could have been in the state of Pennsylvania. Please reply to [email protected] if you can offer any suggestions as to how I might find the parentage of George MULLIGAN.

Hi Alec: > One of my grandmother's sisters Jane EVANS b 1875, Ottawa m. Patrick > Connolly b. 1870, Vermont, USA s. of Patrick Joseph Connolly and Mary > Anne Howey at Ottawa in 1894. >>>>>> Our Connolly girls married Robillard men in Maniwaki, Quebec. Our Connollys came from Limerick, Ireland in the early 1800s. I don't recognize any of the names you sent, but I shall keep them in case I ever run across them. Mine are the following......in case you ever run across any of them. Edward Bernard CONNOLLY married Anna KENNEDY in Maniwaki in 1856. Their children were Catherine, Bridget, Mary, Ellen, Phillip, Edward and Anne -- children all born between 1856 and 1869. Catherine CONNOLLY was my great-grandmother. Some of these children are buried in Ottawa and some in Hull. In case you are not familiar with the area, Hull is just across the river from Ottawa and Maniwaki not much further away. Thanks so much for your reply and maybe we can both keep our eyes open?

Hi Anne marie and group I spoke to the priest from St. Bernard's last night and he told me who held the records to the cemetery and gave me his phone number. His name is Peter Draper and he works for Kelly's Funeral homes in case anyone needs to contact him for information. I called him this morning and he said that the records were held at St. Thomas and were destroyed in a fire in 1957. So they only have any records of people buried after that. I asked when the cemetery started and he said in the 1930 but my husband and I are both sure we saw tombstones prior to 1900. Around twelve years ago some people did a lot of damage to that cemetery and I am not sure which tombstones they damaged. I remembered reading about it in the newspaper and asked Peter and he confirmed that it was that cemetery. Sorry that I couldn't be of my help.

I have been told that it opened in 1872 tho, so any burial from a death before that time was probably relocated from another cemetery.

I really don't think the cemetery out Albion Rd. is the Billings Bridge cemetery as it is more that 4 miles from the Billings settlement. In current times we think little of getting in the car driving that little distance, but then it would be a long ways. I checked the Gloucester map from http://digital.library.mcgill.ca/Countyatlas/images/maps/townshipmaps/car-m-gloucester.jpg and found there was very little but swampy area out that part of Albion road. Further checking shows a small church just to the north east corner of Bank and River road. There seems to be the cross for a cemetery in the area shaded for the Rideau River. There is also a map just for the town of Billings Bridge, which shows the church and the parsonage quite well, but no cemetery. An exhaustive scanning of the Gloucester map shows no nearby churches, until one gets to the Leitrim area - which has its own Post Office it is so far away. Nepean, on the other side of the Rideau shows no nearby churches, until one gets to the Glebe, where much of the area was church property - but I do not think the churches were plentiful at this time. I think that the cemetery was at Billings Bridge, and was moved when the area was redeveloped. I do not know if there was an industrial presence in this area between the current park/shopping center and the 1880's map of what appears to farm land and some local industry, so when this move would have been made is further conjecture.

It is on the left-hand side going towards the Race Track/Casino, perhaps 1/2 a kilometer from Bank St. I think this may be the cemetery you are looking for Al, as some of my Brule relatives were said to be "buried at the Billings Bridge cemetery" and there they were at this one. I am sure there are a "goodly" number of Irish inhabitants. Enjoy. Bill

It has an 'old' area and a new area. It's at the corner of St. Laurent Blvd. and Montreal Road. I haven't been able to find anything for them on line but their phone number can be found at www.canada411.sympatico.ca Can you elaborate on the Connolly you are searching?
