Thank You for replying and yes I would like to be added to your Henry McDonald web page. 
 
My information and connection are as follows . 
 
Henry McDonnel and Ann McQuade had 7 children. 
Elizabeth was the 5th child born April 11, 1853 in Goulbourn Township. 
 
She  married Amos Robert Bonell - Nov 1875 in the Ottawa area ( although I have not been able to find a record of the marriage )
Amos Robert's parents were John Bonell who immigrated from England in 1834 as part of a group of 
families brought to Canada by William Farmer (this group settled originally at Farmer's Rapids in the Gatineau Valley).
His mother was Margaret Moore  who had immigrated from Ireland. The Bonell family settled in Bytown.

Good morning, and Happy New Year!
 
Well, it is a small world. You and I would seem to be related through the Bonell family.
 
My stepfather is also descended from John Bonell who came over with the William Farmer group who settled originally at 
Farmer's Rapids in the Gatineau Valley.
 
Somewhere here, I have a short history of the Bonell family. 
 
I'll add your original inquiry to the Henry McDonald page and will start a new web page on our web site for the pioneer Bonell family.
 
Thanks again for this.

Good morning 

My names is Robert K Bonell, my father’s name is Robert Amos Bonell named after his grandfather my great grandfather.

My grandfather William Bonell was the son of Robert Amos Bonell and Elizabeth McDonnel and I believe we may have a picture of Robert and Elizabeth somewhere.

Our family has a  King James version of the bible that was my grandfathers with some information about some births and deaths in the family.

I can’t remember  what information is contained in it.

My grandparents William and Mary Bonell lived with us until they died. 

My mother knows some of the family history from what my grandfather told her.

Good morning, Mr. Bonell:
 
Thanks for your e-mail regarding your Bonell ancestors in the Ottawa area. I believe that we are related by marriage.
 
My stepfather was Robert Frederick Bonell. Unfortunately, he recently passed away. He died on January 27, 2010 in Burlington, Ontario.
 
His parents were Frederick Robert Bonell and Bertha Russell. I have just this morning added photos of them (above) to our Bonell
family history web page. Do they look familiar to you?
 
Is it OK with you if I add your e-mail to the above web page as a contact for other Bonell (and related) families? Please let me know.
 
If you have a picture of Robert Amos Bonell and Elizabeth McDonnel, it would make a nice addition to the web page as well. The Bonell family were pioneers in the Ottawa area.
 
Thanks again for contacting me.
