Longford d ca 1904 - buried Ste-Clothilde, Chat., QC m 1 May 1860 - St-Antoine, Huntingdon, QC Children: Patrick James; Anne Mary; Henry; Joseph; Catherine; Charles (all b 1863-76 in Quebec,Can.) Apparently Patrick GORMAN & Catherine HAGEN immigr. ca 1836. They had two children Henry & Mary b 1831 & 1835 - ???,Ireland. From ca 1836 - 1852 they had 7 more children: Charles; Edward; Johanna; Patrick; Mary Anne; Bridget; James all b St-Antoine Abbe, Huntingdon Co & St-Jean Chrysostome, Chateauguay Co., QC These surnames are connected via above children's m's: DILLON;POWER;KELLY;HAKA;GAYNER;RYEN;ELLIOT If anything here rings a bell w/you I sure would like to compare notes farther.
