We are descended from BERNARD PHILLIPS, and Anne Little Phillips Cuddy
of Ireland and then Cranbourne. She had son William Phillips 1829 in
Ireland,then Jane 1833 and Richard Phillips 1835 in Quebec City with
Bernard Phillips, a commuted pensioner. Bernard had a land grant of 104
Acres. At Richards Baptism, Bernard is sadly listed as deceased, perhaps
a victim of a Cholera epidemic. JAMES CUDDY is at the baptism and listed
as a witness. James and Ann went on to marry in 1835 and raise 6 more
Cuddy children along with the 3 Phillips children in Cranbourne. William
Phillips, the eldest son,married Dorcas Whitman in October of 1850 in
Solon, Somerset Co. Maine. William fought in the Civil War, raised 10
Children , and farmed an Orange Grove in Florida. He died at the Togus
vets home in 1909 in Maine. Only 2 of Williams sons had Phillips lines
continue - one in Natick MA and one in Levy Florida. Williams daughter
MAHALA PHILLIPS Married LORENZO DOW BROWN and they farmed in Mayfield
their entire lives from 1870 to 1920's. Grandma Ann and James Cuddy came
down from Cranbourne to MAYFIELD SOMERSET CO MAINE around 1860 and
RICHARD PHILLIPS AND ELLEN HADDIGAN, Uncle Richard and Aunt Ellen, soon
Followed. Mahala and Lorenzo had a son Perley True who produced 12
descendants so I am betting there are still some BROWN DESCENDANTS
around Mayfield Corner Maine.

I received all three volumes of Irish Needles this week. Thank you for the
quick delivery, and for the information within.
I have focused on my 2nd GG Joseph Matthews and Judith Rockford (V.3.p.65),
and your work is providing forgotten history within my family. I just
found this Blog today, so I am excited to dig through to find any
additional information.
What's interesting is a connection between the Frampton Irish and the
logging industry in Somerset county, Maine and that the relationships
between the families of Matthews, Adams, Kennedy, Murphy and Hurley may hold
possible connections that are unclear at present.
Thank You

Great website. Thank you. I am the owner of my paternal ancestral home
near Quebec City. Maison Laberge was built in 1660. My mother's ancestor
was Thomas Sammon from County Mayo who immigrated to the U.S. in 1836.
Interestingly, one of his daughter-in-laws was Ella McHugh who's mother,
Chatherine Scully, was born in Ormstown in 1833. Three years later, Jean-
Baptiste Laberge was a leader of the revolt of 1836 in nearby Beauharnois.
It is great to learn more about the history of the Irish in Quebec.

I read the most recent post from lady in St David Quebec searching info
about her Smith ancestor from Frampton. As you see from my previous post
I am focused on the early Smiths cica 1835 to attempt to establish a
relationship between Henry Smith born 1828 (likely Ireland) who came
with Father a Smith to Frampton, Henry the family story goes had at
least two other brothers. They were soon after adopted by a Gagnon
Family. Henry's marriage in St Ferdinand listed him as an adopted son of
Alias Gagnon and his wife! I am working to validate this long standing
family tale. It now appears highly credible. BTW there is a Daniel Smith
buried in St Edouard Cemetery in 1838, Henry's father??? 4 Smiths bought
land in the summer of 1835 according to Frampton history. Can you help
me solve the Smith/Gagnon tale handed down through many generations
please. My wife is grt grt grandaughter of Henry(i) Thank you

Greetings All:
Through online sources my 4th cousins and I have connected. We are
descendants of Benjamin Thomas (1767-1849) a retired British soldier,
and his wife, Bridget Wall (or Wold) (1797-1874), who settled in
Frampton around 1832 from Ireland. They came to Frampton with their
teenage children and had another son in Canada. We believe their first-
born son Richard came to Frampton earlier with Irish neighbors. Their
grandson B.J. Thomas appears in some of the history as the man who went
out to the U.S. West and returned with a wagon filled with furs and
enough money to marry (he married Emmelie Lafontaine near Frampton).
While we've been able to do a good bit of research on the family, if
anyone has any additional information on this family, we'd love to hear
from you.
Lisa-Anne

Huge thank yous to Dennis and anyone else involved in promoting the memory
of the Frampton Irish. Largely through Dennis' book, I discovered my
GGgrandfather Andrew Redmond, wife Anstace and their first two children
Andrew and Margaret were among the early settlers in approx 1826, and have
been able to trace and/or confirm the lineage from that point onward. I've
been working on my genealogy since about 2017 but have much to discover.
This resource is so valuable to many of us, and we appreciate your hard
work.

Jan Enright passed

I first meet Jan via

Enright family in
Quebec. My wife and
I meet with Ken and
Jan several times
since then and hung
out with them at the
Great Gathering.
They had been to
Frampton several
times and met many
Frampton Irish
descendants. She
will be missed.

For Jan Enright in Arizona. I schooled in St. Malachie Convent from Sept
1948 to June 1955. Most of us were Catholic but there was a good
percentage of Protestants(Anglican) in our class. I can name names if
you're interested.

Wonderful site! I am anxious to pin down death details for my great-

Murphy and Ann Keegan of Frampton. John signed the Frampton burial
register at the interment of his father, Thomas, in 1938. Nothing more is
known. Any clue could be helpful.

Thank you for putting this site together. You have given me information to
continue my pursuit with my grandmother's father side of the family. The
Ross family from Ireland. You have narrowed it down to about 1820 when the
family arrived in Canada. One of the first Protestant family's to settle
in Frampton. Also, my grandmother's mom, side of the family. The Bagley's,
also from Ireland and a family from Frampton. If anybody has any
information and/or evidence on the history of The Ross Family prior to
1820, I would love to get in touch with you.

Am attempting to
find some listing of
children who
attended school in
Frampton from about
1840 to 1860.
Frampton had one of
the first schools
that included both
Catholic and
Protestant children.
They were divided up
after this. Does
anyone have access
to these lists? I've
searched on line,
but if I can't find
anything I will
attempt to research
on microfilm next
time we go to Salt
Lake City (August it
looks like). Thanks

My mother's family in Frampton were Mary Levy and Jeremiah
KILDUFF. They were the grandparents of Peter KILDUFF, my great
grandfather,who lived in Kingston Ontario and later in Ottawa.
Among his accomplishments was the building of the steel dome of
the Library Building of Parliament Buildings in Ottawa. In his
bid for the job,he offered to build iron doors for the library
as a fire prevention aid. The government accepted and when the
Parliament Building burned down,the library survived intact. He al
also build several large paddlewheel ships that plied the Ottawa
River between Ottawa and a lock approaching Montreal.
Their is also evidence he was a friend of the Prime Minister Sir
John A. Macdonald.

For Don Hodge, Vernon, B.C. re Ross genealogy: Can't help with
many details in your search, but just wanted to correct the fact
that you list the birth/death place of Frampton, Ireland, but
Frampton is in Beauce County, Quebec. I had a quick check on
Denis McLane's name data base and found Adam Ross b.1795 Antrim,
Ireland d. 1879 Springbrook, Dorchester County, Quebec.
Elizabeth Adams b. 1798 Ireland, d. 1869 Springbrook, Dorchester
County, Quebec. John Ross b. 1817, Ireland. Mary Waugh b.1816
Ireland.
Hopefully someone can help you more, or you may want to take out
a membership so you can view the names on Denis's database.

Am doing research on my wife's genealogy on the ROSS side of her family who
lived in the Bury/Cookshire/Eaton towns of Quebec. Her lineage is as follows
starting with her grandmother Daisy May Ross(1888-1961) wife of John Henry
Winslow.(1886-1950)Lived: Eaton, Quebec. She was the daughter of James Waugh
Ross(1864-1928)and Hattie Christina Buzzell(1861-1936)Lived: Cookshire, Quebec.
James Waugh Ross was the son of John W Ross(Born: Frampton, Ireland ABT 1820 and
Died August 16, 1892)Bury, Quebec and Mary Waugh(1816-1903)Born Frampton,
Ireland, and Died in Bury, Quebec. John W Ross was the son of Adam Ross(1791-
1879) and Elizabeth Adams(1797-1869) Lived/Died Frampton, Ireland.
Would appreciate any further lineage information.
Thanks, Don Hodge

To Wayne Joseph Kelly: Couldn't help but wonder if you are
related to my Godparents Joe and Emma Kelly. They lived in
North Jersey (perhaps Newark? East Orange?) in 1951 when I was
baptized. Joe must have been a relative - my paternal
grandmother is Bridget Frances Kelly - which is how I,despite
being a male, got my given first name.
If related, it would be great to meet your sister who lives in
Toms River, NJ - about 40 minute drive from me.
A number of us Barrys will be in attendance at Frampton's Great
Gathering next year - hope we can meet there. Kelly Barry

For Cecilia Kelly: I saw your post on the blog -- my first time visit. I have wonderful memories of your
mom Aunt Mary and not just because of the tasty strawberry jam she always gave us. Very, very
sweet person and my dad always voiced wonderful things about her. Our family would spend at least
two weeks each summer and stayed with my Aunt Lucy (Sheehan) and Uncle Tom O'Grady. We visited
many of Dad's and my Mom's relatives such as your family and Uncle Martin's. There were so many
relatives it was very difficult to keep them straight once beyond the immediate family. I always
counted on Gene O'Grady to put it all into perspective. My sister Maureen lives in Toms River, NJ and
Bev is in Delray Beach, FL. I plan on attending the Gathering next July and hope we connect.

Hi cindy,
Thanks! I'd love to know more about Ellen Donahue. I recall seeing
her marriage details in the Frampton parish's records, while on a
visit with my Dad in the late '80's. All the best - let's connect
and share info.

Hello,
Very interesting - sincere thanks. I am the eldest daughter of
Joseph Peter William McCarthy, born in Tourville, Que. in 1920.
My Dad was the son of John McCarthy, (born 1874) who, in turn, was
the son of Peter McCarthy, (born 1839) and Ellen Donahue, (born
1835.) these family members are all buried in Frampton.
Many thanks, once again for a great site! All the very best,
Jane McCarthy

Missing Kelly Sisters My GG Grandparents James Kelly and
Catharine Reed had 5 daughters that I can find birth and census
records of in St. Marguerite and Frampton but I cannot find any
burial or marriage information on them. I am wondering if
anyone out there might have any of them in their family tree.
They are Mary (B 1839), Catherine (B 1840), Bridget (B 1846),
Helene or Elaine (B 1850) and Anne (B 1853).
One possible clue is that my Grandfather Thomas Kelly referred
to a Redmond family he visited in New Jersey as a first cousin.
That Redmond worked for a car company, possibly GM.

Has anyone heard of Nellie Credock/Cradock who married James
Johnston Crawford sometime after 1921. Apparently, she had been
previously married, so I don't know if Credock/Cradock was her
maiden name or not. James was single, and still living with his
mother Matilda and 2 brothers in Standon on the 1921 census.
James was born Aug 22, 1886, and died Jan 8, 1949, but I can
find no record of his marriage.

down until you see the information and illustration of the book. Re: your question about ancestors, I'm not

The author of book below - called Frampton by Pierre Soucy -
refutes the theory that the town was named after Mr. Henderson's
favorite author. In his research he found that Ms. Frampton's book
was only published in the late 1800's, well after Frampton was
settled and named. He surmises instead that it was named after a
Frampton located southwest of London in the vicinity of Dorchester.

My record agrees with yours - marriage date is Aug. 6, 1930. I

So under any circumstances, I doubt that either Joe or Emma is
alive.

Kelly Barry from Freehold, NJ and the rest. I have been thinking
about applying for my Irish Citizenship. According to what I
read on the web, all a person has to have is Irish Ancestry. All
I know is my Great Grandfather was born in Wexford and married a
Jane Quigley. I don't have dates.
Note: I am on Facebook but be careful, there are three Gary
Kinsley's, one in Hong Kong who I have met and, one in

Does anybody know who the parents or siblings of Margaret
Foster, born about 1827 in Ireland, and the wife of Richard
Marshall, born about 1828 also in Ireland and lived in the
Frampton area were?
I have a suspicion, but am hoping to locate a Marshall
descendant who might know for sure.

Also
I

an interesting
read.

Hi Margaret Suitor,
Sorry for not answering sooner, but I don't log onto the site as

Nellie's husband James Crawford was my 1st cousin 2x removed.
His grandparents John and Sarah (Bagley) Crawford were my gr.gr

Hello Ron Oakley, I grew up hearing those names but paid little
attention to how they related to me. My cousin David Doherty may
be able to answer most of your queries. How do you fit in the
picture, I will try to get in touch with David to clear it for
all of us.

In response to Ron oakley's spelling of credock, I do believe
the correct spelling is Cradock.My mother's family was Doherty
I would also like to let anyone interested know that my sister
Flora Mc Bean passed away this past March.A lot of people would
have known her.

Was told that the surname of Nellie, wife of James Crawford 1886-
1949, was Credock. Can't find this name anywhere in Quebec
records, so wondered if anyone had heard of it, or if mispelled,
or something else? Could have been her married name from a
previous marriage.
Thanks, Ron

For Ron Oakley,
Which are your Bagley ancestors? My 2nd great grandmother was Sarah
Bagley Bagnall (1832-1913), daughter of Isaac and Eliza Rothwell
Bagley. Sarah and George Bagnall settled in Jacksonport, Door County,
Wisconsin after leaving the Frampton area (Standon) in 1884. I am
interested in exchanging information with descendants of the other
Bagleys and learning where they settled. You can contact me at

Greetings Kelly; I haven't been on here for a while but was shocked to
learn from reading one of your recent posts that Stewart is dead. This
hits really close to home. He was younger than me.
In those days there was only one nun teaching grades 1 to 7 and we
were all in the same classroom. Stewart and I were classmates and
friends and as you know close neighbors in the 1950's.
At your convenience would appreciate getting some details.

1815. To you Kelly I knew the OGradys very well, they were
great friends of us all. The Miller farm with the lake belongs
to me. You Robert Ill get back to you later. I would like to

Stewart O'Farrell (now deceased, from St. Malachy). I heard
many stories about fun times at the hotel / bar, but I was too
young to partake (perhaps luckily!) We did spend some time at
Brennan Lake - in the area of the Miller's farm, on the main
road between Frampton and St. M. We also knew Tom and Lucy

Just found out today through Ancestry.com, that my husband's Grandfather
Thomas Rochford travelled to Frampton from Ballymote in Co Sligo by
passenger ship in 1923, he had apparently first travelled there in 1908.
During our family history investigations we were always under the
impression he worked in Boston Mass. I cannot believe what I have found
on your website over the last couple of hours. Thomas, I believe travelled
between Ireland and Frampton so I do not expect to discover any relatives,
but anyone knowing of any Rochford's, please let me know. Any info would

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HISTORICAL INFORMATION ON THE
FRAMPTON, PQ, IRISH. I AM PRESENTLY WORKING ON MY FAMILY TREE - GETTING MOST OF MY

STEP IS DOING WHAT YOU DID......GO TO IRELAND.
I FOUND YOUR WEBSITE LAST NIGHT AND WAS UP TIL 3 AM READING YOUR INFO. IT'S VERY

ABOUT MY ANCESTERS FOR 2 HRS BEFORE I FINALLY FELL ASLEEP :). I WOULD LIKE TO USE YOUR
SERVICES TO GET INFO ON IMMIGRATION FROM IRELAND TO QUEBEC, CANADA RE MY RELATIVES.
MY GG GRANDFATHER PATRICK 'HANGS'? MCCAFFREY, WIFE ANN SCALLON HAD THREE CHILDREN.
THE FIRST TWO: CHARLES (B. 1817) AND MARY(B. 1820) WERE BORN IN IRELAND AND YOUNGEST
SON PATRICK WAS BORN IN QUEBEC, ST. GILES, CANADA 3 SEP 1824. THEREFORE, I AM ASSUMING
THEY IMMIGRATED TO QUEBEC SOMEWHERE IN THE 1821 - 1824 TIMEFRAME. MOST OF THE INFO
I'VE RECEIVED SHOWS THEY LIVED IN LOWER EAST, QUEBEC, THE ST. SYLVESTRE, FRAMPTON AREA.
BY THE WAY, I DON'T KNOW WHY P. MCCAFFREY (B. 1792) IS REFERRED TO P. HANGS MCCAFFREY?
I ONLY COPIED IT SO I COULD DEFRENTIATE BETWEEN THE PATRICKS! UNTIL I KNOW FOR SURE.
RE: THE 1852 CANADIAN CENSUS THERE IS ALSO A MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY - A JOHN MCCAFFREY
WITH STATED AGE AS 75 (B. ABT 1778) ALSO LIVING IN THE HOUSEHOLD. I HAVE NO IDEA WHO
HE IS. I SUSPECT HE'S EITHER AND OLDER BROTHER OF PATRICK HANGS OR AN UNCLE. THIS
'JOHN MCCAFFREY' DIED ST. SYLVESTRE, PQ, 1856 HIS SPOUSE MARGARET QUIGLEY ALSO STATES
HE WAS FROM COUNTY TYRONE IN IRELAND.
ANYTHING YOU CAN HELP ME WITH WILL BE APPRECIATED. I'M WILLING TO PAY FOR INFO YOU

My great-grandfather was Walter Charles Henderson. He was
William and Gideon Henderson's nephew. I am trying to find out
more information about William and Gideon. If someone can help
me I would be very thankful.
Your sincerely,

I am so glad you had the opportunity to go to Ireland! I can't
even imagine how you must have felt walking on the land of our
ancestors. I am finding your blogs very interesting! Thank you

I am looking for information about Andrew Wheeler and his wife
Margeret Fitzgerald from Frampton. Their son, Michael James,
born 12 Nov 1874 emigrated to the US around 1891.

I read your latest blog and it took me back. I was staying in a
house about 500 ft from the library in Wicklow. I talked to the
geneologist in Carlow for information on my Quigley relatives
but they had no information. Nor did Wicklow. This was in 2002

Thank
you
for
teaching
me about
Frampton.
My Quebec-Irish ancestor, Patrick (1827-1917)(married Mary Myler) and his family only passed through Frampton, from 1861 to 1867. Three children were born there, John, Anna and my great grandfather Edward Joseph Lawless (1867-1922). I love the Drouin collection, as otherwise I would never have discovered this website and all the interesting information contained therein. Patrick and brother Stephen's families both moved to the southern end of the Georgian Bay after that, and then after eleven years they immigrated to the United States in 1878, becoming some of the first settlers in rural Chippewa County, Michigan. My parents both grew up in or near Sault Ste. Marie, the county seat. Email me at gkc_inc@yahoo.com.

I've just begun researching my family tree and am so excited to
have found this website. I joined Ancestry.com only for the 14
day free trial and was able to find a number of my relatives in
the Drouin collection records, they were located in Ste
Marguerite. The geneology bug has bit me now and I'm so looking
forward to finding as much info as possible! Does anyone have any
information pertaining to James Roche (Roach) who married Mary
Martin in 1846? They were both born in Ireland and I'm not sure
when they came to Canada. They had 11 children, one of whom,
Helene married my great grandfather Richard Thomas Kennedy and
they moved to Ontario at some point. Another of their children,
James Roche, married Marie-Obeline Ruel and they had 9 children.
I would love to correspond with anyone who has information!!

For Ann-Marie Smith St. Raymond.
Jacob Murphy + Mary Black = Elizabeth (b. ca 1816,
Ireland);Armine Catherine Murphy (1823); Jane Murphy (1824);
James (1825); Ann (1826);Charles Black Murphy (b.1829); Jacob
(1834)
Elizabeth married Matthew (Old Matha) Smith [b. 12 May, 1822,
Glasgow Scotland] on 1 Nov. 1847 in Quebec. Their children:
Matthew John (Matha), Charles James, Mathilda Jane, William
Henry. Elizabeth died 9 February, 1900. She may well have had
an earlier marriage to an Alpin (Alpen) with two daughters,
Margueritte and Mary Elizabeth.
Charles Black Murphy moved to Bourg Louis near his protestant in-
laws. His first wife (Jane Gardner) died in 1864. He married
widow Bridget Lachaume (nee Corcoran)in St. Basile in 1866. He
and Bridget were still alive in 1918. I have not found a record
of their deaths.

Sheila, I hope that's your name, I'm off that page now. Anyway,
there is such a long history of both Quigleys and Fitzgeralds in
the Frampton/St. Malachie areas. There was a Sylvester Quigley
who died in Frampton in 1865. His listed next-of-kin was an Ann
Fitzgerald. The Quigleys were one of the prominent families in
that area and there are still several of them there. Please send
me a note if you'd like more information.

Hello!
My name is Helen Doyle.
I am the daughter of Jonh Horace Doyle (Jack) and Madeleine Dufour from Lac Etchemin.
I saw that my cousin Mary Leona Petsche wrote a note on May 19 2006 and I am looking for her or
anybody of Eileens children. When I was a little girl, every summer, we used to pass by Frampton to
go to the graveyard. Long time I did this pelerinage. We used to stop at the hotel of Willy Doyle and
get a little moment in front of the Magasin Général... We went with oncle Lewis and his wife Mary;
once another time with oncle Bill and his wife Gerty. I saw Eileen with Tomy at the funeral of my
father Jack almost 20 years ago. We shared some souvenirs of their childhood that nobody never
told us about. I have also a sister, Louise Doyle.
Thank you
...And what an interesting site!

Thank you for this wonderful site about Frampton. My paternal
grandparents are Martin Magher/Sarah Cullen. Dad (Thomas Magher)
shared many stories about the Frampton Irish, when we were
growing up and this site has explained much of the background.
Dad left Frampton in his late teens and eventually settled in
NYS. I have been researching the Magher side and would
appreciate any information on Martin's parents (William and
Catherine Magher) and grandparents (William and Mary Magher).
Thank you.

correspond with Jean and Forrest Henderson (brother and sister)
whom I belive have now passed away. Does anyone have tabs on
anyone else with this surname, descended from the brothers
William and Gilbert who played an important part in the areas
development in the early 1800's?

Could JOHNSTON DOHERTY be named for that town?

I have started to save our old family photos into digital
format. I have a lot from the early 1900's in the Frampton
area. Although they are from Reed and Kelly albums there are
many other people in the photos. Let me know or comment if you
recognize someone. I have posted the first wave to Flickr and
many of them are classified as public for now. There are many
more to go and they will not necessarily be in chronological
order. I am also going to post some to a Frampton Group site
that is also on Flickr for anyone to post to. If you would like
to view these pictures they can be found at
www.flickr.com/photos/tomkelly2010/. You need to be a member to
leave a comment. I will put in more info. over time. If you
have any of your own posted anywhere for public view or have
anything you would like to have posted for you to a Flickr Group

To Margaret Suitor. Going back in time: John DOHERTY and Jane Emily CRAWFORD > William DOHERTY
and Maria Victoria DOWNES > John DOHERTY and Rebecca DUNCAN. I've traced three couples; John
DOHERTY and Rebecca DUNCAN, John McLAUGHLIN and Catherine DUNCAN, and my GGG Grandparents
James DUNCAN and Mary Ann McCONNELL. All three of these couples had children baptized at the First
Presbyterian church in Derry City, Londonderry, Ireland in the 1820s. Then they are all in Frampton,
QC in the 1830s. I assume the three DUNCANs are siblings. - My email: chwy58 (at) yahoo (dot) com

I am addressing this comment to D. Duncan, Mass.USA.
My Mother was a Doherty, from St Malachie the eldest of 10
children. One of her sister's married Richard Mc Laughlin and
one of her brother's married Elsie Mc Laughlin. I have cousins
still living in St Malachie and Quebec City/ I would be anxious
to hear from you and how we are related.

For Krista Harper: I think I can shed some light on W.A. Harper
for you. His sister, Alicia or Lily was married to one of my
relatives (John Thorp Bagnall) and they lived here in Sturgeon
Bay. The parents, William and Maria Jane (Sargeant) Harper
appeared on the 1905 census here living with Alicia. Maria Jane
died here in 1921. I did not realize that W.A. Harper was also
in Sturgeon Bay at one time. I will e-mail you separately with
more information on that family.

Congratulations on a great site... I learned of this site from
an old neighbour at the Saint Patrick's day parade in Quebec
City on March 20th 2010. Thank you Timmy McGrath..
My mother, brother and his sons and their families still live in
Frampton. My mother is the youngest sister of Rev Tom O'Connor
and was raised by the Fitzgeral Family (1st cousins -- Rev.
Raymond and Leonard Fitzgerald) that you mentioned in your
comments on Cranbourne. I am a descendant of the the Byrns/Falls
and O'Connor/Kelly clans..In fact the newest member of the Byrns
family in Frampton is expected this coming week. My godson's
(Jayson Byrns) wife is expecting to give birth this around March
26th.
The Saint Patrick's day get together, united some 300 people on
March 20th at the Dorchester Golf Club. It was organized by the
Saint Patrick's Day Society of Saint Malachy.. Congratulations

Hello there,
I am trying to complete my family tree and have hit a wall. I
know that my great grandfather, William Alexander Harper, was
born in 1866 in Hemison, Quebec. However, I cannot find his
parents. The family I have left does not know, so I am so happy
to have found this wonderful site even if it doesn't answer all
of my questions. Is/ was Hemison located in this same area?
Hemison, St. Malachie, Quebec? Also, I know that W.A. Harper
recieved his schooling in or around Hemison where he then worked
briefly before going to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin and to Escanoba,
Michigan where he worked as a lumberjack. He later moved to the
Lake of the Woods district in Northern Minnesota where he met
and married Winnifred (Winnie) Mildred Clark in 1908. If anyone
can shed some light on any of this please feel free to email me
at: kristaharper1@gmail.com Thanks!!! And great job Mr. McLane!:)

I have neglected my genealogy for the last years due to other
committments. The information you sent me last year was so
beneficial but I have not done anything since. My ancestor is
Peter Murphy who is the brother of Andrew Murphy. I was
wondering Dennis if you have found out more information about
them. We were planning a trip to Wexford Ireland but due to the
fact that I don't know where to begin in Ireland it was
postponed. Hopefully this fall we will have a chance to walk the
land of our ancestors and make new discoveries. I have not been
able to visit Frampton either although my intentions were to
have done so by now.
Thank you Dennis for your hard work and being so diligent on our
behalf.

For Chris Drenan and P Bassman: I do have more info on some of
the Hodgson and Sargeant families. Sarah Ann's brother, Edward
had a daughter who married into my Bagnall family. Sarah Ann's
sister, Maria married William Harper and their daughter also
married into the Bagnall family. I'd be glad to share that info
and would like to get more info on Sarah Ann's family if
possible.
I believe Sarah Ann's birthdate is 15 Dec 1835--I just checked
the Drouin record and though the index says 1836, the actual
record says 1835 (oops).
Dennis McLane has more info on the family relationships as well
and could probably research that for you in the Notaire
records. John Hodgson Sr. left a pretty detailed will according
to Dennis's index.

I was in St. Malachie last month for a small family reunion, and
stayed at the ski lodge. Of course the ski runs are closed but
we had a very good time at Auberge la Crapaudiere, hosted by M.
Jean Arnoux and his lovely wife, Lawrence.
There are twelve rooms there, and while not plush, they are
large, clean and comfortable and the bathrooms are brand new.
Each room is individually temperature controlled.
We had dinner in their dining room which featured three choices
of entrees. It was a very pleasant stop and would be a perfect
place for a business meeting or family reunion.
Their phone number is 418-642-2472.

The name Sargeant twigged a memory and checking back thru my tree
I found the reference. Your Sarah Ann was born to John Sargeant
and Hanna Hodgson at Frampton Dec 15 1836 and was baptized Jan 28
1836 at Frampton. John Sargeant died sometime before 1850 and
Hannah then married into my Maines/Manes line.If you want more
info re the Hodgson line let me know.

Thank you for this wonderful and valued website. I found it
today while searching for our Great-Grandfather Hugh Henry
Hurley's (b. 1858-d. 1923)origins. I have finally located him
as the eldest of nine children on the 1881 census in Ste-
Edouard, Dorchester, Quebec with his parents: Hugh Hurley (b.
1830-d. 1899) and Sarah Ann Sargent Hurley (b. 1834-d. 1901).
Notes from a very distant cousin also indicated that the elder
Hugh's father was named Hugh as well, and had settled in Quebec
after receiving a land grant in 1828. I have not as yet located
the parents of Sarah Ann Sargent, although the 1881 census
indicates her birthplace as Quebec as well.
They are all listed on the census as Episcopal so I am guessing
that Springbook Church is a likely place to start? I would like
to find the elder Hugh's burial site as well as learn more about
their lives in Canada. I don't have much, but I would love to
share what I have on Hugh Henry. (Hugh Henry is buried in
Columbus, Ohio - after having emigrated to Ohio through Manitoba
and Illinois where he studied to become a Baptist minister.) I
would love to hear from anyone who has information on these
particular Hurley-Sargent families.
Keep up the good work - this site is so informative!

While collecting and scanning old Frampton photographs related to the Hennessey and Magher
families, I happened upon a wedding photograph believed to have been taken around 1909 in rural
Frampton showing a gathering of roughly 100 people. A couple of my relatives are guessing that
the husband and wife in the front-center of the photograph are Martin and Catherine Magher. None
of the others have been identified. Should someone with an elderly relative who grew up in
Frampton perhaps be able to identify any of those in the photo, please send me your e-mail

For Robert Hickey of Dalhousie. The Hickeys in St. Malachie were
related, not closely, to my family, the McGraths. If you have
any specific questions, I might be able to help you. I think I
even have a picture of a Tom Hickey, probably the one who died in
1952. I'll be back to St. Malachie in July and can probably find
out from others what I don't know myself. Send me a note at
daydame@q.com. I'll see if I can help.

Dennis, this is a fantastic site that I have visited several
times but my last reference was when a nephew Whealan (Buddy)
Morin from Dubai sent me your reference today. He is the son of
my sister Mary Whealan who married Lewis Morin and had three
boys: Dan(Toronto) Majella (Edmonton) and Buddy.
Many references have been made to my families: Whealan and
Brennan. My brother-in-law Lewis Morin and his wife Mary did alot
of research on Frmapton especially for the feasts in 1975. they
were active in the renovation of Christ's Church in 1975: the
beaufil site mentioned in several e-mails. My three sisters who
became nuns are mentioned in Father Enright's article. I was born
in Frampton and lived there until I had to go work in Quebec so
anything about Frampton is of interest to me. I have kept close
relationship with the present residents, one of which is JoAnn
Hennessey who was my secretary for a number of years»: a
descendant of the Hennessey-Walsh families. I still spend time
in Frampton. Thanks for your wonderful site and wish you the
best to keep going. God bless, Dennis.

This message is for Clare Dwyer. I have an ancestor John O'Dwyer

no birth or death date for John, but I believe both John and

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!

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.

Ancestry.com. John Duffy, my gr grandfather was born in
Hemmingford, Quebec, 30 Jan 1830 (Baptism registered as John

Churubusco, NY. John, Wm, Thomas, Mary, Catherine and Bernard
were born either in Hemmingford, or St ?

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.

family. The first known ancestor was William Haslett who was
married to Mary Maxwell, I believe they came from Armagh Co

I just came upon this site by chance. My aunt wants us to go to
Ireland in 2009 to research our relatives. This is the reason I
began researching our Irish family. I found, on some, Frampton
was their district but I had never heard of it. What a surprise
to find so much information thanks to you Dennis McLane when I
put the name in the computer and here we are. Congratulations
for sharing all that you have learned. My great grandmother was
Julia Hayes married to Eudore Lemieux at Notre Dame de la
Victoire in Levis, Quebec Sept. 22 1880; her parents were
Michael Hayes and Margaret Meagher (Maher) and they were married
May 18, 1860 in St-Patrice Church Quebec City; Michael's parents
were John Hayes and Judith Devereux from Wexford Ireland;
Margaret's parents were William Meagher and Mary Murphy from
Frampton and married May 20, 1823. This was the first time I
had heard of my Murphy side. I then found that Peter Murphy was
her father and Margaret Fampers?? I cannot read the name
properly, was her mother. Hope some of you have some
information for me.There is also a daugter named Mary Meagher
born Dec. 23, 1831
Thanks a lot.

I
tried
to use
Ms.
Haen's
yahoo
email,
but
it bounced
back.
My name is Robert Shearer and I am trying to update and expand the genealogy of my mother's family. I just returned from a visit with her -- she is now 95 and doing pretty well -- during which I got her to talk about her family. Her mother was Claire Maude Sargent, but in doing a little research I think her actual name might have been Clara Maud Sargent (or Sergeant). She was born in 1882 in Frampton QC, the last of nine children (eight daughters and one son). Her parents were Edward Sargent (Sergeant) and Elizabeth Lightfoot Sargent (Sergeant). One of my mother's aunts was Louise, who married George Bagnall. From what I can gather, most if not all of the family was part of the migration from Frampton to Wisconsin, primarily to the Door County area. I have found reference online to five family marriages (including my grandmother) in Jacksonport WI from 1886 through 1903. What I am trying to ascertain is birthdates and birthplaces (perhaps all in Frampton) for the nine children, as well as any information on their parents, Edward and Elizabeth, with respect to when they might have arrived in Frampton and from where. I am curious as to whether Edward and Elizabeth were married abroad and came to Frampton, or whether they came independently and met and married there. They are shown as witnesses to the five marriages in Jacksonport, but I don't know whether they also lived in the area or whether they travelled from Frampton each time And of course, can I find any further information that would allow me to identify from whom Edward and Elizabeth were descended (I believe Elizabeth was born in London and that her father was a sea captain, Captain Lightfoot).
My wife
and
I
visited
Quebec
City
this
past
August
and
we stopped
at the
Literary
and
Historical
Society
to see
if I
could
find
any
evidence
of the
Sargents
having
lived
in that
area.
That was before I uncovered the fact that they were from Frampton.
Would
someone
be willing
to help
a
true
novice
figure
out
what
routes
I
should
take
to accumulate
this
information.
Is it best to visit Frampton (or the QFHS in Montreal) in person and do the research? Or is much of it available (for a fee, I guess) through services contracted online?
I
appreciate
very
much
your
time
in responding
to my
inquiry!!
Thank
you.

An amazingly well-researched, detailed geneological website that
I wish I had found earlier -- like two weeks ago. Would have
turned my trip to Charlottetown upside down by detouring to St.
Edouard which I drove tantalizingly close by on my way down.
But site has raised dilemma for me. It does not list any
Scallens in the census portion.
So I a stuck having to recheck what I thought was sound
information that JAMES SCALLEN (1798-1858)and his wife, ANN
BURNS (1799-1876) are buried there.
Also have information that a MARY O'LEARY (1852), from St.
Edouard, married a THOMAS SCALLEN, of Wexford.
Oh Well! Back to the drawing board.

Great site Dennis! Just this summer I found a birth for Charles
BROWN which was a real find. Up to this point we had not had an
exact date on him - he was of English descent. Now Charles'
mother was Elizabeth HARPER who married Jacob BROWN. I see
that there several HARPERs in the Frampton records and wondered
if they are all the same family and were they all from Charles
and Maria (Welsh) HARPER?
I have completed a book (if you can call it complete with more
history coming in by the minute) for my SMYTH family and the
BROWNs and HARPERs figure into the family quite prominently.
Charles BROWN married my g-g aunt Jane SMYTH d/o John W. and Mary
(Sparkhall) SMYTH. Mary Brown d/o Jane and Charles married
Robert and Mary (Colby) HARPER's son, Charles Eli HARPER.
Charles and Mary lived in Middleville MI and Jane and Charles
BROWN lived in Haldimand Co. where the Jacob BROWN family
settled after leaving Frampton.
If youcan shed any light on the HARPER family or the BROWNs for
me I would appreciate it.
Dennis M. sent me your site. You have no doubt been in touch
with him.

For Ron Oakley:
Yes, St. Paul's Church is still there along with the graveyard
(at least it was in 2000 when we visited and I haven't heard
differently). I photographed and copied a few stones, but
mostly those of people related to me.
I have a transcribed list of the burials there and it doesn't
show either William or Ann Crawford or Ann Foster. It does show:
John, s. William Crawford and Ann Foster d. 14 Aug 1919, G.
F. Hibbard, Min. Also several other Crawfords (one John, s. of
John Crawford, formerly of Kings County Ireland, d. 24 Apr 1888;
another: Robert s. of the late John Crawford Esq. of the parish
of Cappagle, Co Tyrone, Ireland and Margaret McConnell, b. 21 Nov
1813 d. 25 Oct 1851 aged 38 years).
Those two counties aren't near each other, but may give you
clues as far as origins to look in the old country if you have
names. There are other Crawfords as well if you have names you
need checked. I also have a copy of the births from those
Anglican records and there were several of William and Ann's
children born and christened there.
Also, just because names aren't on the list, doesn't mean they
aren't in the cemetery. My 3rd great grandfather is not on the
list, but his stone was there clear as could be. There are gaps
in this record and he fell into one of them.
The Crawfords were somehow connected or at least knew my Bagley
ancestors from some info I have found, so we may even be related
in some shirttail way.
Good luck looking when you get there. It's a beautiful cemetery
on a hill. You can e-mail me if you want more. My e-mail is on
the researchers list.

To John Colclough of Ireland. I would like to exchange further
information with you concerning the Dudley Colclough and
Elizabeth Eaton family. Please make e-mail contact with me at
dbmack11@aol.com
|
| |
Posted by John Colclough from Ireland
Posted on : 29-Jun-2008 |
|
I was interested in your references to the Colclough family. I
am a descendant of Dudley Colclough. Although possibly too much
information, here is what I know of their emigration to Canada
Dudley is a son of "Sir" Vesey Colclough by Mary Connors, the
daughter of the gate keeper at Duffry Hall. She had 3 children
by Vesey Dudley, Vesey and Margaret. Margaret emigrated to
New Brunswick, The younger brother Vesey,was a Warrant Officer
in the Royal Navy and settled in County Cork on his
retirement. In 1809 while staying with the Beauchamp
Colcloughs, at Kildavin Dudley met and married their friend
Elizabeth, grand-daughter of the colourful John Eaton of Powers
Court, Goresbridge, who in one night's card-playing had lost all
his worldly possessions to one of the Loftus family. Elizabeth's
father was Beauchamp's legal advisor, James Eaton. Dudley was
married in the Church of Ireland and his children brought up as
Protestants. Around 1818 Dudley decided to emigrate to Canada
with his wife and two children, Frances born at Kildavin in 1810
and John Dudley Eaton at Wexford in the following year.
Beauchamp Colcloughs uncle was Sir Guy Carlton, Lord
Dorchester, British Governor of the province of Quebec 1786
96. Lord Dorchester died in 1808. Beauchamp emigrated to
Canada in 1819 and settled his family initially in Riviere du
Loup.
On May 20 1820 Brig Cornet, under the command of Capt Anderson
arrived in Quebec from Dublin with Mrs Colclough and family.
Dudley had presumably preceded her. He and his family stayed at
Adams Mill with the Adams family who were related to the
Staffordshire Colcloughs and for the next half-century Adams
Mill was a kind of staging camp and second home for all the
Wexford and Kildavin Colcloughs who emigrated to Canada.
The Adams's Mill (formely known as Ringuet Mill; after 1842,
became Chesnay Mill) was operated (from 1812 to 1842) by Henry
Stapleton Adams. His grave states that he was born in London and
family legend claims a connection to Henry Quincy Adams. The
business did not flourish and Adams retired in 1842, and died in
1856. Two of his brothers, John and George, were millers in
Syracuse, New York, and he also had three sisters. The mill
was in the area of Trois Rivieres.
John Dudley Eaton at the age of 18 became involved in a "shot-
gun" marriage with Henry Adam's niece, Elizabeth. A son was born
within a few weeks of the wedding but died in infancy and a
second son, John Richard, was born in 1832. He had a further 4
children and on Elizabeth's death married his widowed sister in
law, Elizabeth Adams nee Johnston, about 1842. and the
descendants of three of his daughters, Henrietta who married
Edward Montgomery , Margaret who married John Ritchie, and
Caroline who married Eleazar Bouchard, are known to be in
Canada.
In 1820 they were in Louiseville, Co. Maskinonge
1823 they were in Frampton
In 1829 they were in Riviere du Loup
In 1830 they were living in Pointe Levis or Lévis
1831 they were in Frampton
1833 they were living in Pointe Levis
1840 they were in St Jean Crysostome
Various others of Vesey Colcloughs children had already
emigrated from Kildavin to Canada on assisted passages in
1809.

I just had a SPAM e-mail from a person who said he was a Lawyer

not even from Canada. Sometimes we have a tendency of putting

So I sent the guy a nasty e-mail and told him I know better and

In reference to your posting July 8 on www.framptonirish.com: I could not get through on the e-
mail address posted in your item, so hopefully, you will access this.
The only Kinsley I can recall in Frampton, where I grew up, was Hugh Kinsley, who lived in the
village and was one of a small handful of car owners in the 1940s. He operated his car as a
relatively exclusive taxi that principally catered to the remaining, more elderly Irish. I don't know
how, or if, he might have fit into your family, but I remember him as the only Kinsley remaining in
Frampton, so there's a chance there might be some connection. This is a mere snippet of a
memory of someone whom I never really knew but who still manages to stay in mind.
To my knowledge, Hugh lived by himself, and I can recall severeal occasions when his big,
impressive, four-door, black sedan (the year, make and model I don't know) would pull
occasionally into our farm gate, atop a hill overlooking Frampton village, to pick up my aunt,
Bridget Free, on one of her occasional outings to the village church or to visit friends and stores.
One thing about the car that fascinated me as a child was the red pinstripe that ran the length of
the car just below the windows. It was the height of luxury.
I remember Hugh as a distinguished, gray-haired gentleman, who always was impeccably dressed
in a dark suit and somber tie. He was quiet spoken and stood tall -- every inch a true gentleman.
I moved away from Frampton in my teens (although I still return there), and have no further
information on Hugh.
Good luck in finding information on other Kinsleys.

While looking for info on my gr grandmother, Sarah Sargent
Holmes, I found this site. Wonderful history of this area.
Sarah's obit states she is from West Frampton, Quebec, daughter
of William Sargent and Margaret Hurley, born 13 May 1845. Married
to John C Holmes, they moved to Maine (?) and then to Eau Claire,
Wisconsin. I tried emailing Dennis McLane but the address is
rejected. I just wanted to know if this is the area Sarah is from
and if he has any info on the family. He can contact me via my
email: joanjoey@embarqmail.com I would be happy to hear from any
others who are investigating the Sargent or Holmes line. Thanks
Joan Holmes

Great history of the area - super website!
My mother, Mildred (Billie) Murphy, was born in Frampton
Dorchester County in 1914 to Moses and Ann (nee Duncan). Ann
died in Frampton June 16, 1960; Moses died c.1928 in Frampton.
My mother had two sisters Marie, Vera and three brothers -
Clarence, Edgar and Bill, all of whom passed away in the past 15-
20 years. Any information regarding Moses' and Ann's brothers
and sisters would be most appreciated.

Dennis, great job on this website. You have succeeded in
capturing the beautiful spirit of the Frampton Irish on your
website. My father, Reg O'Grady, was born and raised in Frampton
and my mother, Pauline O'Farrell-O'Grady was born in St Malachy.
While I was raised in Pointe Claire, a suburb of Montreal, I was
blessed to spend my childhood summers in Frampton and St Malachy
and look back on them with an inexpressible fondness. These were
people of great heart, gentleness and hospitality. I do my best
as a father of three teenage girls to convey the core values
carried by these courageous and faithful people-- not an easy job
in a very different world!

I was at the St. Malachie celebration. I had a table in the
exhibit building and I made contact with families of the
following surnames: Kelly, Barry, Humphrey, O'Farrell, Murphy,
Jordan, Dickson and Henderson. The Humphrey family shared the
photos taken years ago by their uncle the Reverend Ed Humphrey.
I also enjoyed a long conversation with Malcolm Henderson, a
descendant of East Frampton founder William Henderson. I also
met with Albert Boisvert who is putting together a book on the
Jordan family. I also had a great time visiting with my own
Murphy relatives who still live in the vicinity. My trip also
included research at the Archives du Quebec and in Somerset
County, Maine where many Frampton Irsih migrated to.

I was there, along with my brothers Peter and Brian - our father
was William Barry, son of Thomas and Bridget Barry of Frampton.
Our mother was an O'Shaugnessy from St. Malachy.
The event was terrific - lots of old photos and artifacts, a
full church for the Mass celebration, about 750 attendees in the
large dinner tent, and I am told a large and excellent parade on
Sunday - the closing day. It was also nice to meet this
website's moderator - Dennis McLane. He had some of his
research there - what a treasure trove of information. He
helped us approximate the landing date of our Barry forefathers -
thanks, Dennis.

I love your web site. It's obvious that a lot of work goes into

Agnes and Eddy Walsh, forwarded your web site to me and I'm so
glad they did. My father, James R. Walsh, and my mother,
Germaine C. Perreault, were from Frampton, born in 1912. I wish
they were alive to see this web site. (My father moved to
Detroit, Michigan in the 1930's.)

Hi, I am in the process of transcribing the church register for
Ste-Marie-de-Beauce. Yesterday I googled Ste-Marie and your site
came up. Do you know that a good number of Frampton Irish were
baptized or married in Ste-Marie? I had been intrigued by the
many Irish names in the register, and now, thanks to your site,
I know more about them. By the way, John Walsh was in Ste-Marie
before 1806, he signed a marriage act in 1805. If you haven't
had the opportunity to explore the Ste-Marie register's, email
me at rgarvey@sasktel.net and I can send you what information I
have found in them. Interesting site! Thanks!

I haven't written since the early days of the website, but I
just want to say again that it's terrific. I've made
connections to several of my families here and just recently new
connections through Doug Wilsher (see his recent note). I've
been able to direct him to some of his closer Smith cousins (one
that I previously met right here). He is sharing information
with me on one of my other families (Dickson).
I hope others of you reading these queries will consider being
on the list of researchers. If you share information with
others, you are likely to get even more back as connections
expand. You can see my list of family interests on the
researcher list. Many Frampton, St Malachie and Standon
families came to Jacksonport in Door County near where I live so
there are many descendants and much information right here.
Thanks to you Dennis (and the internet)for making this big world
a much smaller place.

This message is for Jane McIntire Mann (08 OCT 2005). We are related. My grandfather was Nicholas
Walsh (1857-1937), Catherine Walsh's brother. He lived all his life in Frampton on a farm 1 mile
from the old family farm that is still owned by a Walsh, Raymond, son of John, Nicholas' eldest son.
My father was Dennis (1908-1991) who kept his father' farm until 1974 about. Henry Harpe,
Catherine's husband had two sons I know of (and I think a few daughters). They were Eddy and
John. John had a son Lawrence, who visited us in the early 60's. I also remember my Dad telling us
of wild parties when his cousins would visit many years earlier. I would like to hear more from
the Harpes. You can contact me at macmarwa@ns.sympatico.ca. (By the way, the posting just before
yours on the Frampton Irish site, is from my nephew Michael from Toronto.)

Very impressive Dennis! This site is a must for all Irish who have a relatives in Frampton... and as I
can see, they are many (I did not realize that I could be related to half of North-America.) Too bad it
shows up so far from the top on Google, after umpteen entries on Peter Frampton!
I was born in Frampton in 1951 and grew up there. I have a few documents telling about the Murphy
journey to California as well as a few genealogy notes my parents received from Mrs. Cadogan from
California after she visited Frampton for the 150th anniversary in 1975. We are distant cousins. I will
send you an e-mail with more details in the coming days.

My connection to the Frampton, St Malachie area is my

were married in the area.Their families married Dicksons,
Dillons, Wilsons.Eventually Smiths and Smyths moved to Jackson
port, Doors county, Wisconsin and Dillons/Smiths to Bangor/ Milo
Maine.Also some moved to the western Canadian provinces.
I am sure there are many more that are scattered over North
America.
Dennis, I really appreciate you taking the time to pull all of
this together.
What information would you have of the Smith/Smyth families
would be of interest to me for purchase?
Thanks again, if anyone would like whatever limited info I have,

A wonderfully researched and beautifully written expose on the
Irish of Frampton.
It os often forgotten that many early irish settlers did not stay
in their original places of settlement, but moved on to greener
pastures after many many years. Those of us who are researching
our Irish ancestry are often thrown off track until we realise
this. I was most interested to read of someone with my surname
listed as an early Frampton pioneer and considering how my
ancestors came to Australia in the early 1800's, it is sobering to
think upon the insidious social forces that sent the sons and
daughters of Erin to far flung shores. However it is with pride
when we reminisce on the fortitude of those who built the
foundations of a better life for so many of us.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this web site and you should be very
proud of the work you have done.

When I saw the name of Linus Fitzmorris on the website (which I
haven't visited in some time), it brought me back many years to a
visit to St. M. with my parents. The Fitzmorrises lived at the
top of the hill and are cousins of mine. Their grandmother,
Mary, was a sister of my grandfather, Joe McGrath. A boy of
maybe ten or twelve was sitting at the kitchen table with a slide
rule. Linus, I remember the visits your parents Amelia and John
made down to Boston to see my parents. The house you grew up in
was the original McGrath home. You must be having a wonderful
time, Linus, with modern math. Do you still have that slide
rule? Please write to me at j.m.day@att.net and let me know
about your life and your siblings. I did see Lena a few summers
ago when I was up to St. Malachy. And when I visit the cemetery
up there, I stop by to say "hello" to your parents. Hope you
will be at the 150th anniversary. My brothers and I will be
there.

Community Quilt -
This quilt was made so that they could collect money to build a boy's Anglican college in
Frampton's district.
In autumn 1916, Mrs. Hibbard, proposed to the Anglican community the making of a quilt adorned
with the names of all the donors. The quilt when finished would be raffled.
Noemie and Antoinette Aube-Chabot, whose names are on the quilt, still remember the event
considering their tender age at the time. Noemie said, "one morning our neighbor brought us a
square of yellow cotton and asked us to embroider the names of our family members". Each
inscription cost 10 cents. The idea was accepted with enthusiasm. The yellow cotton squares
were in no time spread through St-Malachy, Frampton and Cumberland Mills.
The project spread out over the surroundings of St-Malachy and Springbrook. The Anglicans from
St-George de Beauce, shared in the project followed by the French and Irish. During the winter of
1917, the women nimbly embroidered all over the region. The project was going well and ended
with a Garden Party which was held at the Henderson's manor in St-Malachy, that was when the
raffle took place. It is reported that all the population was invited.
Mrs. Lottie McLaughlin preciously kept to this day wrapped in blue plastic, the quilt which her
mother Jane Doherty gave her. She declares she was swaddled in it in her crib. Since then, as a
promise, she took great care of this historical gift.
The quilt consists of 35 squares of cotton on which 377 names are embroidered with red thread.
Sewed together these squares form a surface of 185 cm by 195. It was the collective work of
ethnical and confessional groups living along the Irish cause way, in the eastern section: first the
Irish Anglicans contributed 70.8% with 267 names; then the Catholic French Canadians
presented a population of 16.7% with 63 names; and the Irish Catholic for 12.5% with 47 names.
Three conclusions are drawn from this graphic chart. First the groups were far from being closed.
We can also be surprised that the French Canadians contributed to this project since it was for
the building of an English Protestant school. This convinces us that the neighborly feeling
prevailed, at least, in this case, over other beliefs that were in general imposed on other social
contacts with more severity.
The second observation derives from the first and explains it. In 1916-17, the French population
out numbered the English. In fact we can understand that the project, started by the Anglicans
brought the participation of the majority group, who did not feel threatened but saw it as a chance
to have their names embroidered on the quilt which would be raffled.
In conclusion, we remarked that the two minority groups exchanged the squares that the
Anglicans had entrusted to them. This is why the French Canadians are grouped principally in the
sections A-3, A-5, C-3, D-1, D-4 and E-1 and the Irish catholics were grouped in the sections B-4,
B-5, C-5 and D-2.
Description of the quilt:
Material: unbleached cotton at five cents a yard.
Size: 74 x 78 inches.
Composed of: 35 squares of 10 inches square.
Color: White.
Inscriptions: 377 names embroidered with red thread.
Informants:
Mrs. Lottie McLaughlin (Doherty) - Died: 31 October 2000.
Noemie (Aube) Chabot and her sister Antoinette.

Tremendous site. About time someone did the hard work. I knew if
I resisted long enough someone would do it. Dennis, could you
tell me what items I should purchase from you that would give me
the most info on Thomas Lawlor and his descendants. His son
Michael had land on the 1st range Ste Edouard, probably handed
down from Thomas. jimlawlor@bell.ca is my address. Thanks and
keep going.

Dennis your site is fascinating!
I was born in St. Malachie. Often in the dead of
winter when my father decided that the horses
needed exercise we'ed end up on a sleigh ride to
Frampton. And no, I don't remember it as being fun.
Also, I still have vivid memories of how the summer
lightening flashes would illuminate the church and
houses of Frampton for us.
Congratulations on an excellent piece of work.

I have obtained a copy of the book: "Saint Malachie, d'hier a
aujourd hui, 1857 - 2007." It was recently published to
commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Parish of St.
Malachie. It is a great local history with information about
early Frampton settlement as well. It also includes a full copy
of "Histoire de la Paroisse de Saint Malachie" written by Fr.
Jules-Adrien Kirouac in 1909. Although much of it is in French,
there are many useful articles in English. There are also many
tables, maps and graphics of information that are easily
translated and understood. The authors had consulted with me
and I highly recommend it. There are still 93 copies available
for sale. The cost is $80.00 in Canadian currency. They are
available from "Caron Canadiana" bookstore, 104 Range 3, Saint-
Malachie, Quebec, G0R 3N0, Canada, phone #418-642-2503.

My GGGrandfather was John Thomas Sinnott. He was a nephew of
Martin Murphy Senior, of the Murphy-Townsend Party of 1844. Both
of these individuals were "Franpton Irish". They were from
County Wexford Ireland. John Thomas Sinnott and Martin Murphy
Jr. were married to the Bulger/Bolger sisters. John Sinnott was
married to Elizabeth Bulger. Martin Murphy Jr. was married to
Mary Bulger. John Thomas Sinnott was one of the Irish founders
of Milpitas, California.
If you have any information on Martin Murphy Sr. or John Thomas
Sinnott, I would be grateful and thank you for the wonderful
article on Frampton.

Do you know anything else about the James O'Connor mentioned?
I have been trying to find out all I can about him and his wife
Mary. I know James was born somewhere in Ireland, and Mary
somewhere in England. They married in Canada(somewhere) and had :
Elizabeth, Jane, Matthew, Thomas, Patrick, Margaret, Catherine,
and Anastasia. By 1860 they were in Santa Clara(San Jose) area
of CA.
I am trying to learn who James and Mary's parents and siblings
were. Mary's maiden name. Where and when Mary were born etc.
Thank you

Dennis, I think you picked up on my Family History Center posting
some years ago. We went from there, but you have "picked up the
ball" and carried it farther and more professionally than I
imagined. Thank you for all my MURPHY data and detail!!!! I did
purchase your first book "ISLAND ROOTS" and found it to be
everything one could hope for. Researching your background, I
found a lot of common ground: you born and raised in
California,eagle scout with merit badge in forestry, educationa
nd career in Forestry related fields. I am a couple of Wars ahead
of you, WWII and Korea, but was Air Force also. Forestry degree
from Cal-Berkeley (from before the change of attitude in the 60's)
You have made a significan contribution to all for descendants
from FramptonIrish!!! Thank you for your HOURS and HOURS OF WORK.

Trying to find my great-great grandfather's (John Doherty) origin
in Ireland and I found your site. He came from Londonderry, Co
Donegal and was married to Rebecca Duncan. I know he lived in
Frampton. My grandfather was born in St-Malachie and his father,
Thomas, in Frampton. It's like trying to find a needle in a
haystack but I will keep on searching, because I want to find my
Doherty's ancestors.
You have a very helpful site.

Belles recherches généalogiques. Good job.
Luke Foley married Bridget Culhane(Cullen?) on oct. 24 1848 at
Frampton. Luke is the brother of the grand-father (Michaël Foley)
of my grand-mother(Marie Grondin, daugther of Bernard Grondin and
Elizabeth Foley).
The father of Luke and Michaël(1826-1894) is William Foley(1785-
1854) who is buried at Saint-François-de-Beauce (St.Francis of
Beauce or Beauceville, QC) On december 4th 1854.
Michaël Foley was a farmer, a teacher and a mayor at Saint-
François-de-Beauce.
Who knowns about this Foley Family?

Interesting to one who has travelled thru that part of PQ many a

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

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 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...

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).

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

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.

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

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.

and will be visiting Quebec this summer. I intend to visit
Frampton to find out more about our family. I noticed another
guest, Tom Kelly, who signed your book mentioned grandparents by
the name of Thomas Kelly and Mary Reid who moved to Rumford
Maine. I wonder if these might be relatives of ours as I remember
my father talking about his Uncle Tom and Aunt Minnie who moved
to Rumford Maine from Quebec. I know Great Uncle Tom came to
visit us once in Alma Quebec where I once lived, because we have
a picture of him in our living room.

Dennis, I couldn't be happier to have found your site. I've
been researching the McGraths in Frampton and St. Malachy for
years and my only regret is not finding them in your story, but
they were definitely there. The Duncans and Colgans were
related to us through marriage, my great Aunt Nellie McGrath
married John Duncan in 1899; and her sister, Alice McGrath,
married Lawrence Colgan (Coligan)in 1893 and brought her family
up in Cranbourne. I visited their farmhouse there in the
1950s. My grandfather, Joseph McGrath came to Boston ca. 1898.

I had been wanting to research notaire events for my DUNCAN ancestors in Frampton. Did not
know where to begin. Thanks so much for offering your Index of Irish Events of Frampton and Vicinity
CD in a easy to access pdf format. A nice partner to that CD is the Frampton Township
Range/Lots Maps which help locate land transactions recorded in the notaire events. I now have a
clearer vision of how the families related to each other geographically.

Thank you for all your work. I do not know if my Quigleys and
Doyles are related to yours, but I will use your wonderful site.
It is impressive. My great-great grandparents, Edward Quigley
and Catherine Moore were married at Notre-Dame-de-Quebec on 15
Feb 1836. Their daughter Caroline married John Doyle in 1866 at
St. Columb-de-Sillery. White researching in Quebec, I learned
of another Quigley in Frampton. I am still trying to make the
connection. Thank you! Barbara

Congratulations Dennis, for your magnificent website. There's
just one word to describe it "subliminal". The time and effort
you put into this project for the research, construction, and
editing of the website is phenomenal and unimaginable. I will
spend many hours enjoying reading and rereading this most
interesting and invaluable treasure of Frampton Irish history.
You can certainly say to yourself, "Mission accomplished".
Thumbs up!
It was very pleasant to read about familiar Frampton Irish
family names which were often mentionned to me by my dad when I
was a youngster.
My grandfather, Michael Furlong, and my dad, Myles, were born in
Frampton. My father use to say that everyone in Frampton was
related in some way or another.
Somehow, we're related to the Conroys, Quigleys, Reids,
Redmonds, Brennans, Kellys, Maghers, O'Farrells and Whealans.
Many, Many Thanks Again.
Mike Furlong

Hi Dennis - It was a nice surprise to discover your site. I
appreciate the effort you have made to share your story with
others. I have made several trips to Frampton and surrounding
towns to do research and visit new friends. I am not surprised
that I recognize many of the names you list since I was told
during one of my early visits to Frampton that everyone is a
little bit related to everyone else. My oldest ancestors in the
area were the Reeds (Reed Road) in Frampton and the Kellys in
St. Marguerite. My grandparents Thomas Kelly and Mary Reed
moved to Rumford, Maine in about 1928. I experienced similar
feelings that you did when I have visited the old Frampton
cemetery. I look forward to checking in occasionally to stay in
touch with the Frampton Irish and possibly learn more about my
ancestors as well.

Thank you, thank you Dennis for this wonderful site! I was so
moved by reading the stories and recognizing so many of the
names that I grew up hearing about. Family names (McBean,
Rutherford, Dickson, Whyte, Ross, but also names of family
friends. A large group of people from the Frampton area moved to
Rumford, Maine - which is where I was born. But we traveled back
to St. Malachi every summer! This was so exciting and I look
forward to reading more.

Hello Dennis: thank you so much for providing your information.
A large group of Irish settled in Gore of Downie Twp Perth Co ON,
married into each other's familiy, moved on to MI, Wisconsin,
Iowa, CO etc. Trying to find the ascendants to these Downie
Irish has been a trial. Never though to look in the QC census
for the parents. Many thanks!!! Cheers, Lynne

Thanks Dennis this a very interesting site. My father Andrew P.
Redmond was born in Frampton. I currently live in Texas married a
Texan, but we spend our summers north. While in Salt Lake City
last Sept. I traced a bunch of Redmonds in the archives of the
LDS to the Frampton area.
Thanks again for putting so much time in building this site.

Wow, fantastic work. I've been researching my Murphy, Duff,
Keegan, Kirwin, Quigley, McMahon (Mahon), Nowlan, and many, many
others for years. I've made 3 trips to Frampton and in 1995 I
held in my hands an original document of my Andrew Murphy
requesting land.
I'm hoping that many of us will make more connections. Thank you
Dennis for all of your time and most of all, for remembering to
include all of us.

Thank you for all your work in compiling the info and putting it
on the web for us. I am researching (when I get the time)my
Colgan ancestors. My gg grandmother Bridgette (Colligan) Colgan
came over in 1833 with six sons and one daughter. They settled
in Cranbourne in Dorchestor.

Thanks for a wonderful job, Dennis. I have been
researching "Jordan" and Frampton for over six years and know what
a time consuming job it is, having spent countless days in the
parish hall going through their books (no longer allowed). In
looking through the list of researchers it would seem that over
half of them are somehow related to the Jordans; Cullens,
Fitzgerald, Duff, Murphy, O'Leary, Brennen, Burns, Roach(Roche),
O'Connor and on and on.

Thank you for this site. My heart beats a little faster
whenever I find out more about my ancestors. One day I will get
to Quebec to see where they all lived. I also have interest in
the scottish from Ontario too.

Thanks so much Dennis for all your hard work researching and
coordinating the information for this site. It should be a
great network for all of us who already do research in Frampton
(and in my case, also St. Malachie and Standon). Now let's sit
back and wait to see what new relatives discover it!
