    3. Hi Deb: I checked the burial records for St. Patrick's Wildfield - earliest Catholic Church in the area from 1830 and did not see this surname in the cemetery. I also checked Perkins Bull's book "From McGuigan to McDonell" - his history of the Catholic Church in Peel County and again nothing. I also checked the Perkins Bull collection finding aid and did not see this family in the family files. There is a chance it is in the mis. Family files 91.0045M. You can check with the Region of Peel Archives in Brampton www.brampton.ca There was another Catholic Church on the 5th Line (where the Pearson International Airport is now) and well as at Dixie and Dundas in present day Mississauga (old Toronto township) Good Luck Michael -----Original Message----- From: can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Debbie Bert Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 1:28 PM Cc: CAN-ONT-PEEL@rootsweb.com; Ontario List Subject: [CAN-ONT-PEEL] Need help If you have any cemetery or any other references I would appreciate a lookup. Anything will help. I am looking for the resting place for Huge and Bridget Curley. The only place I have proof of them is in 1851 Chinquacousy Census, Peel Co., ONtario. They were living with their son THomas and daughter in law Susanna Everson Curley. I believe that they were catholic. I have additional notes below. Any help is extremly appreciated. Thanks deb RAOGK Volunteer for Monroe Co., MI I have Huge/Hue/Hugh Curley b. about 1794 in Taum, Galway, Ireland. His wife was Bridget b. about 1802 also in the Taum area. Their son Thomas H. Curley was born in 1827 in Ireland. I am not sure when they came to Canada but I suspect it was by 1832. I can't be sure about this. Thomas married in Canada to Susanna Everson in about 1849. The 1851 Chinquacousy Census, Peel Co., Ontario shows Thomas and Susanna have Thomas's parents, Huge and Bridget living with them. I have been trying for years to find out what ever happened to Thomas's parents Hugh and Bridget Curley. I am looking for their place of death, burial, anything. Thomas and his father Hugh were both stone masons (bricklayers). Eventualy Thomas moved down to Michigan to do some brick work and liked it so much that He and his wife moved down to Michigan. Thomas died in 1877. Will gladly share any info with others in this line. Thanks, debbie Additional notes from my Genealogy program: Thomas H. /Curley/ Thomas Curley was born in Ireland and came to Canada and married there. Thomas and wife Susanna moved to Michigan about 1853 or 1854. Records show that Thomas and Susanna were living in Chinquacousy Township, Ontario, Canada in 1851. Later records show that Thomas and Susanna were living in Paisly, Bruce Co., Ontario in 1865 when they signed papers to quit-claim Susanna interest in the estate of her father. (info from Carl Everson) The 1851 Chinquacousy Census, District 4 page 199 shows that Thomas and Susanna also have Thomas's parents in the house, Bridget and Hugh. There is also a boy named Francis Matdam (or Madden) born in Ireland that is only 10 years old living with them. I have no idea who this boy is. It also shows that Thomas and his father are both masons, and that they all live in a frame house that is 1 1/2 stories. Thomas came over to Mi. with Robert Fitch. He was a mason and helped build the Catholic Church in Emmett, MI. After living in the Emmett area to work on the church , he decided to move to Emmett and built a house 4 1/8 miles east of Marlette. Thomas is buried in McLeish Cemetery in Marlette, MI. (Section 21), Decker Rd. South of walker Rd and the cemetery is owned *********** ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CAN-ONT-PEEL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
