marneymacdonald — 2009-10-28 12:02:05Z

Thank you very much for such complete information. That explains why the funeral card had been kept. We had no idea that she was the mother of Verna Simmons who had been a close friend of my mother-in-law.

Re: McCagg

Here she is. Two marriages.

Marriage:
Alice Amelia Smart, 23, b Clarendon Quebec, d/o Arthur Smart & Elizabeth Smart, married W J Simmons, 30, b Hull Quebec, farmer, s/o Wm & Annie Simmons, 25 Sept 1896 at Ottawa.

Marriage #2,

marneymacdonald — 2009-10-27 18:56:23Z

Does anyone have information regarding Alice Amelia McCagg? Born Clarendon June 17 1873, died Hickory Street Ottawa November 17 1963. Apparently buried Bellevue Cemetery, but I have not found a stone there. My family has a funeral card but I don't know of any family connection.

Mains Family

bmains1952 — 2009-10-19 02:29:03Z

Please see website:
http://sites.google.com/site/mainsfamilynow/.

This site lists the first three generations of five Mains siblings (4 brothers and 1 sister) who came to Carleton County in 1830's & 1840's from County Fermanagh, Ireland. About half of those with the surname "Mains" in Canada today are trace their roots to this family.

Re: Rivington,1925

Hi

I wish I read this message yesterday. I went to Merivale Cemetery and Bell's Corners Cemetery today. I did see Rivington's in Bell's Corners. The Untited Church at Bell's Corners used to be Methodist in the 1870's, until the Wesleyans and Episcopal Methodists Untied in teh 1920's. The Bell's Corners Cemetery is quite small. Maybe about 200 or so stones. The Ottawa Branch of teh Ontario Genealogical Society published the stones in the 1970's, and again in 2001. Visit http://www.internment.net OR Also the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid http://www.islandnet.com/ocfa That should help by index. You can also try http://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi which is the Ontario Genealogical Society Provincial Index. it is surname searchable and has a lot of info submitted.

I have done some research for you on my lunch break today and I have found Ann Jane Rivington's obituary notice as well as a large article on the front page of The Ottawa Journal about the hit and run.
I will try to e-mail you directly as there is quite a bit of information. If for some reason you don't hear from me this evening please e-mail me directly at jeanleblanc@sympatico.ca.

Rivington, hit and run at Hazeldean,1925

JohnWorkman50 — 2009-10-15 02:19:00Z

My Great Grandmother ANN JANE RIVINGTON nee SHORE
was killed by a hit and run truck driver in Ottawa,Nov. 1925
Apparently she was just leaving Church when the accident happened.
I recently found out that she lived in Hazeldean in 1925 so I now suspect she died there rather than Ottawa.
Does any one know of this accident?

Gillespie

2009-10-15 02:17:42Z

I have been tracking my own Gillespie family line for 30 years but am still interested in finding any links to the descendants of John Gillespie of Billings Bridge, Gloucester Twp who married Elizabeth Ann Mulligan, b. Ireland, residing in Nepean Twp. They had nine children: William (1768-1943)& Lena Shore, John (1870-1950)& Lily Cook, James (1871-1970) & Ella Cummings, Elizil, my father, Samuel Gillespie (1875-1954) who married four times, Martha (1877-?) & John Shore, George (1878-1968)& Martha Shore, Bertha, Mabel. Most lived in the Ottawa area, one daughter went to the States, possibly Ohio. My great grandfather's parents were William Gillaspy and Eliza from County Down, Ireland who arrived about 1829-32. William and Eliza had four children including John, but also Saml, Maryan and Martha. William Sr. was stabbed in a fight and died Christmas 1841. Eliza later became involved with Saml Gillespie who lived nearby. Links are to Brockville where John Sr. died in 1916. After Betsy Ann died in 1898, he married his neighbour's widow, Mary Clifford, nee Davis, and had another child, Ruth Amy Gillespie (Walter Talmadge). Other family links are also to Hamilton.

I also have an interest in the GILLESPIE surname...
-My G Grandmother's sister MARTHA SHORE married a GEORGE GILLESPIE. (Martha died in Ottawa 1951)
-Another sister LENA SHORE married WILLIAM GILLESPIE (Lena died in Windsor 1938)
-and a brother JOHN SHORE married MARTHA GILLESPIE (John died in Ottawa 1951)
If these Gillespies ring any bells I would be interested in hearing from you.

margueritemorgan12 — 2009-09-08 17:07:38Z

Thanks Ronald and Ell. The marriage that you found Ell is unfortunatly not my Jean.She was born just outside GlASGOW 1905 .Her father was Samuel Mclaren mother Jessie Hay.I have her death certificate but there are a couple of mistakes such as her age it states 24 when she would have been 26 and her parents Samuel Mclaren Scotland mother Mary Scotland.I know from what my mum told me that the family lost touch and dont think her husband knew a lot about them, think he just gave a name .I know this is her but because of the streets and the Rosary hall where she had first went to was just over the back from where she lived when she married.She was a catholic and i tracked down the nearest R C chuch and it was St Patricks Basilica.The church that she attended in Scotland was also St Pats so im thinking there was a connection somehow with these two.I think she probably married in the Basilica and maybe this is where her funeral was.Thank you Marguerite.

Re: War Veterans for Goulbourn Twp

RonaldDale100 — 2009-09-06 16:11:54Z

The World War 2 databases do not have information on veterans but on those killed in action or died on duty. I would suggest that you contact the various Legions in Goulborn. Many of the churches also have lists of those who answered the call and there used to be a roll of honour at South Carleton High School, even though the school was built after the war.

Re: Martin Gleeson

cattattude — 2009-09-19 02:38:03Z

I am helping a friend out by researching her family.
I am very familiar with all the names posted in the Gleeson, Douras, Tierney, Rooney,Burke, Fullan(spelled three different ways)etc.

My friend is directly related this way.
James Douras - Catherine Bourke
Daniel Douras - Jane Fullen
Rose Ann Douras - Edward Rooney

I am getting confused With some of the relatives who did not stay in Canada.

Perhaps someone out there may be willing to shed some light on this for me.

I think I have most the Canadian stuff figured out between Fallowfield and Goulbourn Twps.

I would be willing to share what I do know with all interested in furthering the Douras, Gleeson, Bourke, Tierney, Burke, Monaghan, Brennen, Rooney,Mooney, Villeneuve, Bourassa, Families.

Its kind of neat, my friend told me about Marion Davies, long before I started researching for her.And I believe her relatives attended a big Reunion on Ontario in 1995.

I look forward to your reply

Henri,

Was your mother Laurette Bibaud? Jean Evariste was my Great Grandfather... his son Paul is my grandfather. My mother is Paul's daughter Paulette Bibaud. Roger Bibaud was my great uncle. The Bibauds in Massachusetts are my Uncle Edward's family.

I have been trying to tie your part of the family in... I hope I'm correct with my research!

Hello
My wife is trying to trace her Grandfather James Deevy who was born in Ireland but unfortunately we do not know where. He moved to Newcastle with his Father (Edward) when he was young.(late 1800 s we think)
James later married Ellen Oconnor, in Newcastle 21/05/1904.
Do these Names mean anything to you, if so could you let us know.
We are sorry we know nothing regarding the fiddle.
Yours
Gordon Jones
