Irish-American September 5, 1857 Deaths in New York City Died on Thursday, the 27th of August, in the 33rd year of his age, after a lingering consumption, James McPEAKE, third son of John and Rachael McPEAKE, who emigrated to this country from county Derry, Ireland, over thirty years ago. His father died in May, 1841, leaving a widow with four children, whom she succeeded in keeping together, until the fell destroyer - Consumption - snatched them from her one by one. Patrick Joseph McPEAKE, the eldest son, died on the 24th December, 1849, just as he had established a lucrative business in Broadway. Sarah A.C. McPEAKE, the only daughter, died on the 4th of November, 1854, after a long and painful illness, borne with Christian resignation. Thomas, the youngest, was one of those who sought fortune amidst the newly discovered gold regions of California; and as he has not been heard from for years, his friends have long given him up for dead. The deceased - who leaves a devoted wife and infant child, in addition to his widowed mother, (who now parts with the last link that binds her to earth) to mourn his untimely loss - was brought up to the painting business, and was gifted in an eminent degree with that energy and tact for with Irish-Americans are remarkable. He was warm-hearted, generous and genial in his disposition, affable in manner, and kind, affectionate and dutiful in his relations of husband, father and son. His demise is deeply felt by his afflicted family, with whom we sincerely sympathise, and by a large circle of friends and acquaintances who universally loved and esteemed him. He was brother-in-law of Wm. L. COTE, of this journal. His remains were deposited on Sunday last in the family vault, in the Roman Catholic Cemetery in 11th Street. May he rest in peace. Amen. (From the Washington "States" of the 14th August, 1857) We regret to learn that a sweet little boy, aged 1 year 8 months and 3 days, a son of Capt. Silas REYNOLDS, of the steamer Baltimore, died on board that boat yesterday morning about 9 o'clock. He had been ill for some time, and, at the instance of the physician, as a last resort, was being carried to the creek daily, in the hope that a pure air might restore his health. The hope was delusive, and the poor little sufferer breathed his last in sight of the American altar - Mount Vernon. We sympathise with the bereaved parents; but with them rely upon a Saviour's word, "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." The boat containing his remains returned to the city with flags at half-mast.

Greetings all. I am frequently asked about what questions are included on early Census schedules for Canada. I am aware that there are a number of websites that have posted these questions, but I seem to have lost my bookmarks to them. I would appreciate anyone knowing of any websites that list the questions asked in Canada's Census to forward the URL for those sites to me so that I can add links to them from the Post 1901 Census website. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en français http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm

Greetings All. I copy here for your information a news release from the office of MP Murray Calder. Happy Hunting. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en français http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm Permission to forward without notice is granted. ================================ April 10, 2002 For immediate release Stubborn StatsCan bureaucrats turn democracy on head - Liberal Murray Calder says The democratic process has been turned on its head, and the tail now wags the dog, said Liberal MP Murray Calder, after an unsuccessful effort to have his bill on historic census records voted on by Parliament. An "intransigent" and "stubborn" Statistics Canada bureaucracy is blocking the will of Parliament and its 301 MPs elected to represent Canadians, Calder said. Calder made the comment after Serge Marcil, Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Industry Allan Rock, denied unanimous consent to put Bill C-312 to a vote at second reading debate Tuesday night. Calder's bill would provide access to post-1901 historic census records by genealogists, historians, and medical researchers after 92 years. The 92-year rule has been in place for census records prior to and including 1901, and these records are available through the National Archives. Calder is accusing Statistics Canada of violating a promise made to Canadians at the time of the 1911 and other censuses. Census instructions of the time state: "The census is intended to be a permanent record, and its schedules will be stored in the Archives of the Dominion." The Archives has requested the historic census records, but StatsCan has refused to turn them over. Calder said his office has received petitions signed by more than 14,000 Canadians over the past year calling for release of historic records. Added to the number received during the last Parliament, he has heard from more than 20,000 Canadians on this issue. In September 2000, Parliament passed a motion calling for the release of 1911 census records. Calder noted that since then nothing has been done to release them and that Statistics Canada bureaucrats have stonewalled. "Has the will of the people been done?" he asked the House. "No." An August 2000 confidential legal opinion by a senior lawyer at the Department of Justice concluded that pre-1918 census records can be released under present legislation. The same opinion recommends a minor legislative change to provide clarity in the case of post-1918 records. An expert panel of highly respected academics and jurists appointed by former Industry Minister John Manley in a 2000 report also recommended the release of the records. The panel rejected Statistics Canada's assertion that there ever was a commitment records would be sealed in perpetuity. In response to concerns about personal privacy, Calder's bill would allow Canadians with privacy concerns to object to release of their records within the 92-year period. An estimated 7.5 million Canadians are engaged in genealogy as a hobby. Census records are the only records that record data on entire families rather than individuals, and therefore they are useful to genealogists, as well as medical researchers gathering information on genetically inherited diseases. Further background information on the historic census issue is available on Calder's website at: www.murraycalder.ca/issues/census - 30 -

Greetings All. Well, the debate on MP Murray Calder's Bill C-312 has taken place with few surprizes. Murray started the debate with a good speech that strongly supported our case for access to Post 1901 Census Records. He made the case that Statistics Canada was evading the law in refusing to turn control of the records over to the National Archivis as per Regulation 6(d) of the Privacy Act. He agreed with Statistics Canada that there had been a promise made to the people of Canada, but it was not a promise that confidentiality of Census would last forever. The promise was made in instructions to Enumerators that the records were of Historical value and would be stored in the Archives of the Dominion. Murray finished of by asking for unanimous consent of the House to make Bill C-312 votable. Among a chorus of yeas, there was a couple of nays (Hansard shows a single nay.) Jason Kenny (CA) voiced his support for C-312 and made reference to motion M-160, which he had presented to the House and was debated in March, April and September of 2000, and sought the release of the 1911 Census after it was placed in the National Archives. Jason has been a strong supporter of our efforts to regain access to Post 1901 Census from the beginning. Stephane Bergeron (BQ) spoke at length. In reading what he said in Hansard, for much of his speech he appeared to be supportive of C-312. In the end run, however, that support was diminished by his comments relating to 'promises' of confidentiality and parroting the Privacy Commissioner. There were a few inaccuracies in his statements and while he did not specifically so state, the appearance is that he opposed Bill C-312. Mr. Bergeron has never responded to our questions of support. He is shown on the MP Scoreboard as having a blue question mark indicating no response. Peter Stoffer (NDP) spoke in favour of Bill C-312. He made a second motion for unanimous consent to make the Bill votable. As with the first motion on this, a few nays were heard among a chorus of yeas. Mr. Stoffer stated "We in the New Democratic Party believe it is time to support the release of census information to the archives afte 92 years for genealogical research.............. I find it unfortunate that we cannot have unanimous consent on such a worthwhile bill but I thank the hon. member for bringing it to the attention of the House." Serge Marcil (LIB) is another that has failed to respond to our questions of support and is also shown on the MP Scoreboard with a blue question mark. He spoke at length opposing the Bill. He said a lot of words but little of what he stated were of his own composition. He spoke of the 'promise' that cannot be substantiated, stating that this was contained in the legislation and regulations. He made reference to the Instructions to Enumerators having the 'force of law' and therefore the clause in them titled 'Secrecy' was the promise that confidentiality of Census would last 'forever'. He conveniently ignores the fact that if that clause has the 'force of law', so then, does every other clause in those Instructions, and they cannot pick and choose the ones they want to support their position of non-disclosure. He chooses to ignore the clauses that state that Census has value as a Historical Record and that they will be 'stored in the Archives of the Dominion". The largest part of Mr. Marcil's speech was a repitition of what we have been fed from Statistics Canada since the start of our efforts to regain the same public access to Post 1901 Census records that we have had for those records up to and including 1901. For all intents and purposes he might have been a ventriloquist's dummy sitting on the lap of Chief Statistician Ivan P. Fellegi. It was Mr. Marcil's mouth that was moving, but the words were those of Ivan Fellegi. Mr. Marcil summed up his speech by stating "I would like to assure my colleagues that the minister responsible for Statistics Canada really wishes to find a balanced solution to this issue. This is why I believe we should wait for the minister to see the results of these consulations with the people of Canada." These words are almost word for word identical to those spoken by another MP speaking against Jason Kenny's motion M-160 almost two years ago, while we waited for the Report of the Expert Panel to be released. Minister Rock has had access to the report from Environics for almost two months -- surely he has read it by now. To suggest that he has not is a cop out. John Bryden (LIB) spoke strongly in favour of C-312. He has also supported our efforts from the beginning. He suggests that the problem may be more with Justice Canada than with Statistics Canada. He states that more and more, in cases where Justice becomes involve in issues relating to privacy and access to information, the ruling more often than not comes down in favour of privacy, even when it has been a long standing practice to allow access. He suggested that should C-312 have been deemed votable it would have passed in the House by at least a two-thirds majority, if not three-quarters. Debate wound up with Murray Calder expressing his disappointment that C-312 failed to get unanimous consent of the House to be made votable, and attempting a final time, without success, to obtain that consent. The Speaker advised that the time for debate had expired and that the Bill was now dropped from the Order Paper. There were three attempts to have C-312 made voteable. Each attempt was defeated. On the final attempt there was a single NAY voiced. I am advised that this NAY came from Serge Marcil. Mr. Marcil is Parliamentary Secretary to Industry Minister Alan Rock, and as such can be presumed to speak on behalf of, and under the direction of that Minister. This would make it appear that Minister Rock did not wish to see further debate held on C-312. How many more surveys and reports must we endure and wait for to see a resolution to this issue? We are on our third 'Minister responsible' for Statistics Canada. How many more 'Ministers responsible' must we go through before we get one that will act 'responsibly' and give directions to the bureaucrats to obey the law and transfer control of Historic Census records to the National Archivist? When do we get a 'Minister responsible' that will GIVE direction to the bureaucrats, rather than TAKE it from them? What are they afraid of? Why don't they want 92 year old records released? Who can be harmed by any information in records that old? Are they out of their minds? Why do they not even want to discuss the issue in the House? These are questions that I am constantly being asked. I do not have the answers for them. Everyone seems to feel Statcan and the government must have an ulterior motive for keeping the records hidden, but no-one has any idea of what that reason could be. It is most frustrating. Bill C-312 is dead and gone. That does not mean that the battle is over. There is currently another Private Member Bill by MP Mac Harb (C-380) that would see the transfer of Census records to the National Archives. MP Cheryl Gallant has presented a motion (M-238) that would also see the records of Census transferred to the National Archives and requests that they be made available after 92 years. It remains to be seen if they will ever see the light of day and all we can do is encourage the submitters to push for them to be debated. Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 is waiting in Committee to receive Dr. Ivan Fellegi to make a presentation. This is to take place on 17 April and the Committee is to refer the bill back to the Senate no later than 30 April 2002. If S-12 is passed in third reading in the Senate it will be referred to the House to go through the hoops in that place. Should that happen, it is expected that Bill S-12 would have to be considered votable and, unlike C-312, woud receive a full debate. Happy Hunting. Gordon A.

I did find one John with a Martin Finan. So this could have been him. Second was a Ann b 1852-54 NY or NJ. two others b in Indiana. Thomas 1854-56 and Margaret 1858-1860. This one I believe was married to a Robert F Powell. John seem to be married to a Margaret ? from Ireland b abt 1827. In 1866 he remarried in Vanderburgh, IN Catherine A Carroll b. 1849 NYC. They had several children. One was a Sallie who married in Henderson, KY to a Coomer. Died before 1909. There were other children but they all seemed to have died early. Then there was my husband's direct line from this marriage John Thomas Finan b. 1879 Henderson., KY d. 1949 in Vanderburgh, IN. The first John Finan I believe will be on the 1850 Census should be in PA. In 1860 he was in IN and 1870 KY. John Finan from Ireland d abt 1879 just before his son was born. So I am stuck as we know when he died, but can not find a death or burial. I am thinking in St Joseph's in Vanderburgh, IN and I will have to call to see if he is there or write. That is all I have.

I have a Bridget Finan who married James McCaffrey in Ireland. My great grandfather was born after 1845, James Thomas McCaffrey was born after 1845 so I would guess they were born circa 1820-1830. That's all the info I have on the Finan side of the family. I don't know if they came to the US with James Thomas or not. He emigrated about 1970 at about age 24 years.

----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew & Susan Young To: irish-newyork-city-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 5:18 PM Subject: surnames- Gallagher, Doohan, Gilligan, Shields Looking for any information on a Mary Gallagher. Arrived in NYC around 1887-1890 with her brother, Bernard and sister, Margaret. Married John Doohan (?) and had 7-8 children. Possibly lived in Brooklyn ..? Other names Gilligan, Shields. regards susan

Might as well add my list as well -   SLATTERY, SEXTON, MORGAN, HEFFERNAN, MCNALLY, (RYAN), (GARDE), GOHMAN, PRATA, MURCH, ROBERGE...   I believed the Slattery's arrived in the 1850's, but have recently found out that they must have arrived much earlier in the NYC area.  Only speculation, but they were supposed have a farm in lower Manhattan near the East River (?).  Where can I find this information?   My GGGrandparents, John and Margaret Sexton Slattery are buried in Calvary Cemetary, along with Margaret's Mother - Catti Sexton.  Calvary site purchased by a James Sexton and first occupant was John Slattery; (2) Catti Sexton; (3) Lawrence Heffernan; (4) Edward Slattery; (5) Margaret Sexton Slattery; (6) Irene Slattery; (7) Annie Slattery Morgan.   My Great Grandfather was Robert A. Slattery (Sr.) and Great Grandmother was Alice L. McNally Slattery.  They had Edward (my Grandfather, married Margaret Gohman); Margaret (married Burt Ryan); Robert (Jr.) (KIA & 1st NYC Policeman to be mortally wounded in WW1); Simon; Rose (Sr. Anselma - Dominican); Alice (Sr. Roberta -Dominican); Elizabeth (Retired NY TEL CO.); John; Agnes (married Edward Garde); and Irene.   My Grandparents - Edward (1st) and Margaret Gohman Slattery had 4 children: Alice (John Modell); Margaret (John Foster); Rose (Ted Arnold); and Edward (2nd) (my father married Jean H. Prata Slattery).   If anyone touchs any of these lines; it would be interesting to hear from you.  I would really like to find out when they arrived in the NYC area.  There is speculation that they might have come through Canada from Ireland (???).   Ed Slattery (3rd) <A HREF="mailto:efslattery@sprint.ca">efslattery@sprint.ca</A>

I am researching the HANLEY, HILL, CHRISTY, MULLIN, KEENOY,GREGORY,CAREY, JOHNSTON, FAGAN,LEONARD, surnames. These families were in NY and NJ areas, from the mid to late 1800's, early 1900's. Barb Jackson baj1@comcast.net

Irish-American August 22, 1857 News from Ireland Cork - Mr. Edward BROWN, of Passage, was recently drowned while sailing a schooner yacht belonging to his uncle, from Queenstown to Passage. The vessel was suddenly struck by a squall, which made her go down stern foremost. Mr. BROWN was the only person lost. Captain DE COURCY, R.N., Emigration Agent at Cork, has been appointed to the command of H.B.M.S. Pylades. A Cork paper says: "Reports have become general that the potatoes in the City Park are generally diseased. This is erroneous. Professor MURPHY says that disease has only appeared in the tubers of the potato called the 'pink', of which but a small quantity is planted in these grounds. He further states that the seventy acres of oats sown there is the finest crop he ever saw, and promises to be so remunerative as to enable him to push forward in the course of this year the improvements contemplated to make it a public pleasure ground." Kerry - The Tralee Chronicle, speaking of the potato failure, says: "We are sorry to find by the accounts from different parts of this county, that the blight has most unmistakeably made its appearance to a much greater extent than at this period last year. Whole fields, which presented a most healthy appearance ten days ago, have not now a green stalk; and the peculiar miasma of the disease is everywhere present, particularly along the sea coast. At Callinafercy, Milltown, Killorglin, Cromane and on to Rosbeigh, the potato fields everywhere present a wretched appearance, being (to the eye) a mass of weeds and blighted stalks. As yet, we believe the tubers ar partially safe. The cereal crops present everywhere a most delightful and luxurious appearance." There are only 170 papuers in the Listowel workhouse at present. Two years since the numbers were 730, or between four or five fold more than at present. At the Petty Sessions of Ballylongford, Thomas EDGEWORTH, one of Mr. MAYNE'S fishermen, of Ardee, was fined two pounds for using a boat not marked with the owner's name. Limerick - A young girl of the name FARRELL, a resident of Clare Street, Limerick, died suddenly on Monday, 27th ult., after dancing in a jig-house. What renders this event remarkable is, that on Monday, she is said to have told her sister that she would be dead that night, and her prediction ws fulfilled. A son of Capt. PHAYER, Paymaster of the Depot Battalion, was drowned on Saturday, 25th ult., while bathing in the Shannon, near Limerick. Tipperary - On Sunday, the 26th ult., in (illegible), attached to a public house kept by William CARROLL, in the valley, Roscrea, a fight occurred between two men named Andrew BYRNE and Michael GLENNO, in which the latter laid hold of a stone, which he violently threw at BYRNE, but which missed him, and unfortunately struck on the head of a man named EGAN, who was standing close beside BYRNE, and inflicted a severe fracture on his skull, from the effects of which the unfortunate man died next day. EGAN who was an industrious and well conducted man, was employed as a ganger on the railway, and has left a wife and four children, whom he maintained in comfort and respectability, and who are now thus deprived of their only means of support. GLENNO is in custody. A ticket-of-leave convict named John DWYER, together with four men and three women, have been arrested for breaking into and robbing the house of Mr. T. BYRNE in the town of Tipperary. On the 26th ult, a tenant-farmer named Richard LONERGAN was found dead in bed. On the previous day, the deceased and a number of others were assisting to draw turf from the mountain for Mr. Samuel CLUTTERBUCK of Kilgrogy; and he, when the business of the day had terminated, regaled themselves with some porter. In the course of the evening, James AHERN and Richard LONERGAN were placed in bed drunk; and in the morning the latter was found lying dead in his bed. On the 25th ult., a man named James HALLORAN of Castle Kyle, went to Clonmel and, it appears, was "pretty hearty" when leaving on his return home with his horse and car. When he arrived opposite Marlfield gardens, he fell off the car, and the wheel passed over his body. The injuries the unfortunate man received were of such a fatal character that he only survived until Monday, when he died. Waterford - At the last examination for Matriculation in Queen's College, London, Mr. Walter HARRIS, formerly a pupil at the Waterford School, passed successfully, and was placed in the first division. The Right Rev. Dr. O'BRIEN, Bishop of Waterford and Lismore, lately concluded the visitation of a large portion of his extensive diocese. He was on Wednesday, 22nd ult., at Ring, the parish of the Rev. John MULLINS, P.P., where he confirmed a great number. Jane McGREGOR was lately received into the Roman Catholic Church at Dungarvan by the Rev. M. MOONY, and lived but a few days after her reception. A boy, about nine years of age, was amusing himself fishing on the steps, near Hady's Bridge, Waterford, when he lost his balance and fell into the water. A young lad named Peter POWER, jumped into the water, and got entangled with the child, and finding the stream, which was running strong was carrying him away, he managed to save his own life, but could not bring the child with him. His brother, Thomas POWER, foreman mason at Anderson & Deane's, then plunged in and rescued the child, who had sank twice, and was in a very exhausted state. Antrim - On Monday, 27th ult., a man named David BELL, who resided at Ballee, and who had been employed at Leighlamohr bleach green, adjoining Ballymena, was found to have committed suicide, having suspended himself by the neck with a handkerchief, fastened to a projection in the apartment connected with the engine house in which he was employed. His rash act is implicated to delirium tremens. Queen's County - On the night of the 21st ult., as a young woman named Mary SPELLAN, of Ballyroan, was returning with her little nephew from Maryborough, in an ass's car, both persons fell asleep, and the ass, as is supposed, had been browsing along the ditches, the car upset, when the young woman was killed. The boy was not hurt, but was found at four o'clock the following morning asleep near the car by the side of the corpse of his aunt, and it would appear the accident did not even awake him.
