This message is for Clare Dwyer. I have an ancestor John O'Dwyer
married to Johanna Clary. She died in Frampton in 1864. I have
no birth or death date for John, but I believe both John and
Johanna were born in Ireland. Their daughter Ellen O'Dwyer
married John Walsh in 1842 in Frampton and one of their
children, Ellen Walsh, was my great grandmother. Are we
connected?

I
am looking
for
any
info
re:
Steven
O'Dwyer(Dwyer)
(born
in Ireland
in the
late
1700's
and
died
in Quebec
ca.
1856)married
to Margaret
Ryan
from
Tipperary
(possibly
Kilcommon)who
immigrated
from
Ireland
in the
mid-1830's
with
their
adult
children
:
John
(married
Johanna(aka
Julia)
Burke(Bourke),
William,
Patrick,
Mary
(married
a
Connor
in Ireland)
and
Margaret
(who
married
Richard
Baker
in Quebec).
They settled near St Chrsystome south of Montreal, very close to the US border. They lived there for approx 15 years and then most of the family left. John and his wife Julia Burke (Bourke) left with their children and settled in the Upper Ottawa Valley on granted land where they farmed. This land is still in my family and still farmed by Dwyers. We are not sure if the other brothers Wm and Patrick moved to Montreal or the US as may have Mary Dwyer with husband Connor. Margaret Dwyer and her husband Richard Baker had some descendants stay in the area but we don't know what happened to others. It seems most of the Irish of these villages St Chrsystome and nearby St. Clotilde all but disappeared and scattered. We have no idea why or how my relatives knew to go to this granted land in the Upper Ottawa Valley. If anyone has a connection to these families I would love to make contact!
Thanks!
Clare

I am the 5th generation of Thomas Hickey born 1804 in Ireland
and immigrated to Quebec circa 1834 from County Tipperary. He
acquired his grant in Frampton/Saint Malachie in 1834. His
father was also Thomas Hickey and he has been the focus of my
attention. My search and associated costs over the past winter
were to no avail. I did a near flip when you referenced a Thomas
Hickey in your most recent blog

Posted by Anne Devereux from New Zealand
Posted on : 24-Apr-2009 |

My husband's family came to New Zealand from Lancashire, England
in 1912. This family had lived in Leigh, Lancashire where they
had Inns for three generations but they originally hailed from
Wexford, Ireland. The name/family came to Ireland about 1170 and
although the men originally married French women, in latter
centuries they chose Irish women as their brides. My father-in-
law John Devereux,remembered his gfather Richard Devereux whose
father was John. It was this John who came over from Wexford.
While Devereux is a relatively common name in Wexford, there are
large gaps in our knowledge. For example we have been unable to
link with Devereux families in Ireland or Canada with whom we
share a common ancestry. So the early Frampton Nicholas and
Patrick give us hope. Any information would be helpful.

Thank
you
for
this
site
Dennis.
My grandfather
came
to Boston
from
Franpton
about
the
beginning
of world
War
I. He
lived
in Boston
and
Medford,
Mass.
thereafter
but
he would
send
some
of his
boys
back
to Frampton
during
the
summer
months
to work
on the
farms.
My father,
Ralph
(1919-1994),
grew
up in
Medford,
Massachusetts.
He took
my brother
and
myself
fishing
in the
Jackman,
Maine
area
during
the
summer
of 1963
and
on the
spur
of the
moment
instead
of heading
home
he took
us to
Frampton.
I
remember
him
getting
into
a
discussion
of fishing
with
a
French
Candadian
in the
tavern
of Brennan's
Hotel.
It was
so funny
seeing
these
two
fellows
chatting
and
joking
because
the
Canadian
knew
very
little
English
and
my father
knew
no French
to speak
of.
We then
went
to Quebec
City.
It was
a
wonderful
little
excursion
which
I
will
never
forget.
Thanks
again
for
your
site
which
I
happened
to stumble
upon
from
while
using
Google
Earth.

I am researching the Duffys who emigrated from Ireland to
Hemmingford, Quebec sometime before 1830. Specifically, my
great great grandparents Bernard Duffy and his wife Ellen (maybe
Margaret Ellen) Murray, Helene or Helen also seen on Canadian
baptismal records I found via the Drouins collection,
Ancestry.com. John Duffy, my gr grandfather was born in
Hemmingford, Quebec, 30 Jan 1830 (Baptism registered as John
Duff)as were all his siblings except the last.' Daniel, born in
Churubusco, NY. John, Wm, Thomas, Mary, Catherine and Bernard
were born either in Hemmingford, or St ?
Chrysostome/Russelltown? I found another baptism for Edouard b.
1844 St Chrysostome, the family did not have. He must have
died - not seen in States. Looks like Bernard preceded family to
US says Bernard farmer in US. Helene (Ellen)is

Hello Dennis,
I also spell my last name Mclane. I wonder if we have any direct
relatives. I am planning a honey moon to Ireland and I was
wondering if you had any information on the Mclane Manor over
there? Some of my family members went to see it a few years back
and I plan on asking them if they could point me in the right
direction. Drop me a line if you want to chat.
Thanks,
Stephen

To E O'Leary Sydney Austraiia. I tried to reach Iris Palmquist
to inquire about the history of White. My Paternal grandmother
was a White, her mother was Wren. I would be interested to know
your connection. Margaret

For Denise Wells again: I should have been more specific in my
last post. We have put together family information on children
of Isabella Scott who married Andrew Kingston. Isabella died
young in 1878 leaving a baby and several other young children.
The story handed down is that daughters Annie and Sarah helped
their father after their mother died, with the help of
their Aunt Haslett. We think that this aunt was probably a
sister of Isabella named Ann Scott who married Andrew Haslett in
1840. Anns and Isabellas parents were James Scott and Frances
Robinson/Robison. Does this fit with your data? Wed like to
confirm the story and find more information on the Haslett
family. The Maxwell name also showed up as a middle name down
the line.

on Scott-Haslett-Kingston families with you. Thanks.
