Hello List Have hit a huge brick wall in my search for my Whelan's, thought I would post again. Thomas P. Whelan born 1847 as per statement of death Province of Ontario "Billings Bridge" died 1917. Parents names listed as Matthew Whelan and Margaret Hutchingame. married date/place unknown Mary McGuire born 1849 as per statement of death Province of Ontario "Nepean, Ontario" Parents listed as Hugh McGuire and Mary Early. Thomas P. Whelan and Mary McGuire had the following children: Matthew J.J. Whelan 1881-1935 bachelor buried Notre-Dame Cemetery M. Margaret Whelan 1886-1970 spinster buried Notre-Dame Cemetery Thomas Hugh Whelan 1887-1946 marred Anne E. Brown 1888-1980 daughter of Patrick Brown and Elizabeth Murphy. Anne born in Cantley, Quebec. As per an article when Thomas Hugh died heading Well-Known Athlete Dies - Thomas played football and lacrosse. He was employed by Mortimer Company as a lithographer for 38 years. He was a devout parishioner of St. Brigid's Church and was a member of the Holy Name Sociey and of the League of the Sacred Heart. Thomas P. Whelan and Mary McGuire purchased a home at 320 Cathcart Street and this remained the family home until the 1950's. All of the above are buried in the Whelan family plot. M. Margaret Whelan 1886-1970 also stated that we were related to James Patrick Whelan that shot Thomas D'Arcy McGee, I have never been able to make a connection between the two. Any information appreciated. Thank you in advance. Gail O'Neil

Dear Al Lewis, I have visited & enjoyed very much, your site "Bytown or Bust", many times. I was interested in your reference to Billings Bridge, as a great aunt of my husband's, Sarah Jane Harris,(b. 1876, Fitzroy, Carleton - 1938, Aylmer, Quebec) married Michael Whelan (b. 1870, Billings Bridge - abt. 1950, Aylmer, Quebec) in Ottawa, 1904. I have also seen "Hurdman Bridge" used in relation to Michael Whelan's origins. Is or was it near Billings Bridge? Or was it an alternate name for Billings Bridge? Also, if you or anyone else reading this has any further info. about Sarah & Michael's family, I would be glad to hear about it. I know Sarah's ancestry & I know that Michael was the son of Patrick Whelan & Catherine McGrath. I have learned that Sarah & Michael had 2 daughters: Adeline b. October 27, 1904 & Mary Agnes b. February 24, 1915. As far as I can tell, neither girl ever married, but due to the large gap of 11 years between their births, I'm wondering if there were any more children? I am still hopeful that I might find living descendants somewhere. Thank you! Mary Harris

Bill and/or Linda: Whereabouts on Albion Road is this cemetery? North or South side of Albion? East or west of Bank Street? I'd like to take a drive over there. Before 1900 or so, there was a separate village called "Billings Bridge". Some of my ancestors were buried at the Catholic cemetery at Billings Bridge. This might be the cemetery on Albion, unless there's a cemetery attached to St. Thomas Aquinas Church which is on Kilborn. You say that most of the surnames in the cemetery are French. There may be some Irish "residing" there as well. By the way, St. Thomas on Kilborn was famous for it's teen dances in the 1950's. Thanks for the memories! ...

Hi Bill No problem at ll. I never knew there were two St. Bernard's.Good luck with your research Linda

Hi Bill I used to live right behind that cemetery and all I ever heard it referred to was St. Bernard's which is the local Catholic Church. There is also a Protestant and Jewish Cemetery closeby. But the Catholic one was right on Albion Rd in front of the Condo. I would think that St. Bernard's would have the information on the Cemetery. If you normally live out of town let me know and I will gladly call for you.

I was at a small cemetery on Albion Road, a few blocks south of Bank St. (Ottawa) this morning. It appears to be Roman Catholic with a preponderance of French-Canadian names on the tombstones. I found a number of Brule relatives buried there. I looked, but could not find the name of this cemetery. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Charlie, try St. Isadore's in South March. Or they're may also be a St. Michael's in Fitzroy (I know there's a St. Michael's school in Fitzroy). Other than that, the only RC cemetery I know of is St. Michael's in Corkery. Hope this helps.

Hi Listers, I am currently researching the family of William Carnwith and Mary Thornton in the Ottawa area. The name Carnwith has been spelt Canwith/Camwith/Canwaith/Camwith/Carnwath and numerous other deviations. I am looking for information on the following individuals:(from the 1871 census) Ottawa, St George's Ward, Div 1, Page 36 and 37 Mary Canwith, F,47, Ireland, Kirk of Scot, w James, M, Ontario, Kirk of Scot, 30,farmer Catherine, F, 24, Ontario, Kof S Anna, F, 22, Ont, KofS Margrate,F, 21,Ont, C of E Lizzie, F, 20, Ont, K of S John, M, 17, Ontario, KofS, tinsmith Martha J,F, 12, Ont K of S, William, M, 10, Ont, K of S, This family originally appears in the 1861 census for Ramsey Twp, Lanark Co. with the addition of William Canwith 47, brewer, Ireland. It appears that after William died(sometime between 1861 and 1871) Mary and her family went to live with her eldest son James in Ottawa(James does not appear in the 1861 Ramsey Twp census). William appearred to have two brothers(also in the Perth area). Their names were John and Charles. I have noticed that there are numerous Carnwaths buried in Beechwood Cemetery. My great grandparents family bible lists Mary Carnwith's place of burial as Ottawa. My great grandmother was Martha Jane Carnwith b. 12 May 1859 in Perth and d. 24 Dec 1919 in Toronto. Mary married Alexander Taylor of Ottawa 28 Apr 1879. Alexander died and Martha married by great grandfather William Stuart Staughton 26 Dec. 1883 in Toronto. Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Anne Reynolds Mt. Albert, Ontario

RAILWAY MAN, Henry WILSON bn. in Scotland, m. Huldah MULLER, of Prussia, in Ottawa, Carleton County, Ontario, Canada, 1872 by Rev. George Abbs. Are there any siblings of these people married in Ottawa in 1872? Descendants?

Gordon's column is bringing us up-to-date on all the latest census happenings -- the URL may be short -- but the column has a great deal of information. Muriel M. Davidson [email protected] Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee ---------------- Greetings All. Just a short note to advise that my latest Post 1901 Census column is now online. It may be viewed at http://globalgazette.net/gazce/gazce83.htm Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

To All Researchers:- Please do not misunderstand me -- I am interested in the online 1901 census the same as the next person -- also the 1881 census CD. Both are very interesting -- plus the 1885 map which has disappeared! However, we must face it -- the time is NOW if we wish to obtain access to both 1906 and 1911 census records. Gordon A. Watts, the other co-chair of the Canada Census Committee, suggested we all send Access To Information requests to two given addresses, only $5.00 each. Also the money would likely be send back as these ATIs never seem to become fulfilled. A refusal would then allow us to complain -- Gordon had this information. We showered The Hon. Alan Rock with faxes -- has anyone received a reply -- the faxes I sent went to two different addresses in case one address was "dove-tailed" into another department. Has anyone heard any news that we have access to the 1911 census? No, you have not -- but Senator Lorna Milne and Murray Calder are still accepting petitions for Senate and House of Commons. The federal lawsuit for the prairies 1906 census is underway -- but personally, how can the same lawyer represent the YES and NO side?? At present I do not have sufficient petitions on hand to tabulate for Senator Milne -- ONE signature yesterday. How many would purchase a CD of any province of the 1911 census? Would be a great money-maker for all! The 1906 census is very important due to many immigrants at that time to the prairies. Have you checked the recent scoreboards? QUEBEC needs attention! IF any researcher WANTS the 1906 and 1911 census , ACT NOW!!! Gordon and I are only two people! Muriel M.
