Can-Ont-Carleton-List Members I am a new subscriber and this is my first log-on. I am researching my wife's family. In the Carleton area we are interested in researching Galvin, Cassidy, Gibbons, Bourgean, Paquette, Conn, Doyle, Garette, McGuire and Dowling. Specifically, in Carleton Place, we have Patrick Galvin (Moate, Co. Westmeath, Ireland) and Eliza (Letitia) Cassidy (Drumraney, Co. Westmeath, Ireland) that we are searching. Patrick Galvin and Eliza Cassidy emigrated to Canada in 1845 and were married at Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal in February 1846. From Montreal they lived in Carleton Place in Ontario where Patrick opened a tailor¹s shop. Information we have for Patrick Galvin is that he was born in 1816 in Moate. His parents were Michael Galvin and Marcella Fallon. His grandparents were Patrick Galvin and Mary Claffy and Thomas Fallon and Bridget Byrns. Information we have for Eliza Cassidy is that she was born in 1815 in Drumraney. Her parents were James Cassidy and Eleanor Murtaugh. Her maternal grandmother was Honour McCue and her maternal great-grandmother was Eliza Malone. Patrick Galvin and Eliza Cassidy had eight (8) children including: Marcella (b. 1846, married to Austin Gibbons), Michael (b. 1848, married to Marie Bourgean), John R. (b. 1849, married to Mary Paquette), Joseph Patrick (JP) (b. 1850, first marriage to Sarah Conn, second marriage to Isabelle Doyle), Eleanor Frances (b.1852, married to Joseph Garette), James S. (b. 1855, married to Margaret McGuire), Elizabeth Letitia (b. 1857, married to Thomas James Dowling), Thomas (b. 1860, unmarried). I would be pleased to share information and links. I also have a specific question for the Can-Ont-Carleton-List subscribers. I am just beginning my research and while I have scanned the List's digest for the past few years to update myself on your correspondence, I would be most grateful for any suggestions or leads that you might have in terms of further investigating the family line, particulalry in Ireland.
