Interesting to one who has travelled thru that part of PQ many a
time, noticed the place names, and encountered descendants. There
is also an interesting account of Irish settlers, and their
eventual decline in numbers in the vicinity of St Come de
Kennebec, Beauce County, Que in a history of that title, now
about 20 years old.

This site is wonderful. I am trying to tie my family to Duffs
in this web site. Miles Leo Duff was born in Quebec in about
1835. He later moved to Walla Walla, Washington where he
married Mary J. in 1867. The first two of their 7 children were
Marcella and John Duff. I can find them on the 1870 US Census,
but no further back. I believe he might be the son to John and
Marcella Duff from Ste-Edouard, Dorchester, Quebec listed on the
1881 Canadian Census. Does anyone know the names of all of John
Duff (1807-1886) and Marcella Fitzgerald Duff's (1805/07-1896)
children? My e-mail address is chris_m_mueller@hotmail.com

I am researching my family in Frampton. The names I am searching
are:
Kilduff, Levy and Walsh.
My Kilduff ancestors originated from County Longford. I am
uncertain when they arrived in Frampton, but are listed in the
1861 Census of the area. Later they moved to Kingston, Ontario
and later to Ottawa.

As I mentioned in a seperate e-mail to you, you have a terrific
site. We also have a page dedicated to a number of Irish
settlers who arrived in Quebec, in the early 1820's. They
settled in a small village called St. Columban, which is about
40 miles nw of Montreal. The surnames in both Frampton and St.
Columban are very similiar (although, of course, not necessarily
related). If anyone would like to visit our site, the address is:

I was born Maher: mother Doyle, grandmothers Enright and Redmond,
greatgrandmother Fitzgerald and Duff. My mother was educated by
the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre Dame as was her
grandmother as was I. My greatgrandmother (mother of Isabel
Enright Doyle) was a convert to Catholicism after being educated
in a convent in Quebec City run by the Urcelines.

I recently ordered info./info from Mr. Mclane's site and found
the data he provided and all of the hard work and hrs upon hrs.
of research indexing, etc. to be invaluable for linking my
kennedy and mccarthy/mccarthy relatives to the dorchester and
beacuse county areas of quebec. i have since communicated with
at least three different distant cousins who are also doing
research on our line and dennis and his products is the first
person i suggest as a research/product line contact for our
families census, irish family index, etc. records...
however, i do have a question and maybe dennis you can answer or
help me with this...recently i was on the quebec archives site
and found a database index from the coroner's record of beauce
county, quebec that runs from 1862 to 1947...anyway i typed in
thomas kennedy's name and i obtained a "hit" for a thomas
kennedy that died in watford de beauce with a last residence of
Cranbourne de beauce whi died on 6-17-1865...the coroner was a
J.-T.-P. Proulx the record or report is apparently located in
the Centre d' archives de Quebec TP9, S12, SS26, SSS1 (1982-05-
19/35), Fonds Cour du Banc de la Reine/du Roi, Greffe de Saint-
Joseph-de-Beauce...I e-mailed them that i needed a copy of this
record, but i am unsure what else i need to do to obtain a copy
of this record...hopefully someone can help me with this one...
my return e-mail is jrschult@hotmail.com
respectfully,
js.

Hello there! I've become somewhat intrigued with regard to
tracing the history and spread of my surname, Bardon. In that
spelling, it isn't very common, but i am aware of the bardon
conncetion in France and in Cork, in the Republic of ireland. I
also wonder whether any of my ancestors may have immigrated
accross the Atlantic on a 'coffin ship' during the Great Irish
Famine?
I guess what interest me is the rarity of the name. My family are
catholic. The only other Bardon i've come accross, who isn't a
family member, is a writer called Jonathon Bardon - a protestant,
descended from the English branch of the name.
If anyone has any information regarding the name, please talk at
me. GO ON!!
Thanks,
Lee.

I have spent several hours pouring over the materials on the
Frampton Irish produced by Dennis McLane. I am truly amazed by
the amount of information that went into this. Not only, did
the author bring together data regarding his own ancestors but
he systematically mined an unbelievable amount of church
registries of births, marriages and deaths, notary transactions
(marriage contracts, land conveyances etc) and archidiosal
records and transferred all of this into his research
materials. A living picture of 19th century of Frampton
Township, including its several parishes, emerges.
The materials led me to have a much better understanding of the
various connections between the different members of my own
family and I can now place in a much better context the stories
of old Frampton I was told by members of my maternal lineage
(Doyles, Fitzgeralds).
D. McLanes maps are an essential component of these materials
as they show the two rivers that spanned the length of Frampton
Township as well as the villages doting its hilly landscape.
For anyone trying to find their Frampton ancestors, these
materials are a must. They have enormously facilitated the
research into my own family roots.

John Marrigan Sr. Landed at Quebec in 1827 and went to Frampton
in 1832. John married Catherine Thomas (possibly in Ireland
ast their two daughters were born there). They had Michael,
John jr., William, James, and Catherine while living there.
They moved to Mill Point (Dereronto, Ontario) in 1867 wher
Richard and Agnes were born. Their oldest daughter Bridget
married a James McGrath (not sure if he is from Frampton), and
their daughter Mary Ann married Luke Murphy (not sure if he is
from Frampton).
Any one with any connections can reach me at

How exciting to find your well-documented site!! My husband's Humphreys came to California
from St. Malachie, via South Dakota. A Catholic family, and Irish, it has been easy to find out
which Humphrey families are NOT ours, but finally we have a place to begin finding out about the
Humphrey families who ARE. Also related by marriage to the Hayes, Glenahan, Joynt, and
perhaps Duggan (only connection so far is a wonderful old black and white snapshot). I was
happy to note all of these families listed.
Anyone with any information or leads on these families, please let us know at
thehump909@aol.com.
Thanks again, Dennis, for a job well done, and sorely needed!

Happy to come across this website. Have been researching off and
on for years. The difficulty lies with several lines of the
family that arrived into the Frampton area from Ireland. They
were Thomas Walsh (Thomas arrived from Wexford Ireland in 1833
and settled on Range 6) and Henry Harpe, born 1847). Ellen
Brennan married John Walsh in 1843. John was my great
grandmother's father. Henry Harpe married Catherine, the
daughter of John Walsh and Ellen Brennan.
Anyway, we have some sketchy details. Hopefully this will open
the door to finding more of the missing pieces.

What a great site! I spent many summers in Frampton as a child
visiting family(mostly Walsh's) and I am familiar with much of
the area. I will be sure to pass on this site to others in our
family. I am not sure if we are related to one of the early
settlers John Walsh but I will talk to some of the older family
members to find out. I have managed to gather a good collection
of photo's of Walsh's and those they have married as well as a
fairly detailed Family Tree. If this can be of some use to your
site or to anyone else feel free to email me @
mike.d.walsh@gmail.com . I am looking for more photo's of family
members and their progeny who left for warmer climes

I would like to thank Dennis McLane for all the time and effort
he put into making the Indexes on Irish Families and Events in
Dorchester County, Quebec. These CD's have provided a wealth of
knowledge in reconstructing my family history, particularily
with my great grand parents Hugh Daly and Bridget Doyle who
resided in Frampton from (approx)1831-1840. The township maps
gave me a visual reference of where they resided and the
proximity within which the family members lived.

Dennis-
Your website is very impressive. I can't thank you enough for
the effort you've made. I am descended from the McLaughlins,
Duncans and Dawsons in Frampton, and have visited Frampton once
myself. Stumbling across your site has made my month!
