Our Lady of Holy Angels Church
Brudenell, Ontario


Note:
Some of the information on this page is from Bill Martin's Web Site.

The records on Bill's pagecover the years 1860-1910 approximately and show a 
wealth of information concerning births, marriages and deaths for a wide 
geographical area to the west of the City of Ottawa. On Bill's pages 
(transcribed by Ida Reed) you will find many of the 19th century descendants 
of the Rideau Canal workers (1826-1832) and the Peter Robinson Settlers (1823).

Before going to Renfrew County many of these families lived close to Ottawa, and
many of their ancestors attended St. Michael's Parish at Corkery in
Huntley Township.

Ida Reed has done a remarkable job of transcribing these records and thanks to 
Bill Martin for making this information available on the Internet.

December 10, 2002: Al: I was directed to your site by Fr. Dan Ryan of Kingston, ON. All very interesting. What do you have on Renfrew County, particularily in the Cormac area. That is where our ancestary - Ryan, Roche, May landeds along with Green and O'Neil. Daniel James Ryan marr'd Elizabeth Roche in Cormac, Renfrew County 4 June, 1913. They are the parents of my wife Ann and Fr. Dan's grandparents. Fr. Dan has and is doing research on this line along with his mother's.I on the otherhand am an outsider so to speak.

DOYLE
I have an abbreviated obituary of my great-grandfather Joseph Doyle, a resident of Brudenell (township councillor and school board trustee) who died (age 83) in late Feb of 1920 or 1921. He was married to Annie O'Grady of Nepean and had 12 children. I know something of his parents and quite a bit about descendants. Do any of you have anything to add? I live in New Jersey. ... Daniel
