GORMAN Richard / SHERWOOD Mary Ann; IRL>Que >Ottawa Ontario Canada; c 1850 I am trying to obtain information related to my GG Grandfather Richard Gorman b1822 and my GG Grandmother Mary Anne Sherwood b 1829. I am assuming they left Ireland about 1850 since their eldest child is recorded as being born in 1851 in Quebec City, Quebec Canada. Once in Canada they settled in Quebec City area between 1852-55,and arrived in Ottawa Ontario in the 1860s. I have not been able to establish their movements in Quebec ,but the 1871 census for Ontario shows that they had five children ( four listed as being born in Quebec): Eleanor (possibly Ellen) b 16 April 1851 Quebec, Quebec Canada. Married Thomas Matthew Coligan in Ottawa (d 26 Apr 1921 Prescott Ontario Canada) Mary Anne b 1854 Quebec Canada Elizabeth b 1856 Quebec Canada Peter b 1865 Ontario Canada Robert Bernard b 1861 Quebec (d 1926 Ottawa Ontario Canada) ( My great-grandfather)Married Margaret Redmond b1939 d1939 Ottawa Children of Robert Bernard & Margaret all born in Ottawa -Ann "Anna" Violet Gorman b1881 m.

Joseph Dowd -Arthur Ambrose Gorman b1902 m Hilda Monica Findlay -Cecil Edward Gorman b1904 m Alice Shorter -Francis Wilfred Gorman b1907 Richard and Mary Anne died months apart in 1876 in Ottawa as recorded in the register for Notre Dame RC church. Their gravesites are unknown, but are probably unmarked in the Notre Dame Cemetery in Ottawa. The family still maintains roots in Ottawa. If any researchers have information about or connections to this family I would appreciate hearing from them. Thanks, Brian Gorman > [email protected] >
