Hi:

My Uncle John Burns is a grandson of Lawrence & Ellen.
The info I have located for this line thus far;
Lawrence Burns born March 18, 1861 @ Ottawa. He is the son of Michael J
Burns & Catherine O'Brien. I know Michael was born in Ireland, not sure
of the area as yet. I don't have any further info on Catherine O"Brien.
Lawrence married Ellen Cunningham daughter of John Cunningham & Agnes
Trainor, all from County Down Ireland, on November 26, 1889.
Lawrence & Ellen had the following children: John Lawrence, Thomas & Joe.
Lawrence & Ellen lived @ 4 Willow Street Ottawa, and after Lawrence's
death July 1, 1927, Ellen continued to reside there as Uncle John
remembers visiting her at this place.

If you are from this line I would be interested in hearing from you. I
will pass along the info to my uncle.

I'm forwarding this marriage registration for Lawrence & Ellen. This has the 
majority of info I've located. I do have the death info for Lawrence. I've also 
located death info for a Michael J Burns, I'm not sure that it is Lawrence's father. 
Need further investigation.

Hi Al:  I found this 1851 census recently for Michael Burns & Catherine O'Brien, 
they are living in the Richmond area and most likely Fallowfield.
I know you mentioned that your Burns' livied on Sophia / Willow Street Ottawa,(the 
original name was Sophia) which number was it? From info from Uncle John they did 
have a store at the corner, not sure if it was # 2 or 4. They would have been related 
somehow!!
I've also located a Lawrence Burns married to a Marguerite Doyle of Hull and they 
had a son Michael Burns. I'll send you this doc in the next email.
Talk soon,
... Susan

John Lawrence Kilroe-1782-1850 & Mary Dunne-1799-1873 [My Great Great Grandparents]

Catherine Kilroe-1823-1899 & Thomas Kehoe-1816-1905 [My Great Grandfather’s Sister]

Catherine Kehoe-1863-1919 & John A. Hanratty 1855-?

Mary Catherine Hanratty-1895-? &  John Lawrence Burns

John – Ann—Mary—Burns

I think John, Ann and Mary would be my third Cousins..

great pic of my great granny Hilda Mary Burns ( baptised as Mary Catherine
Burns) b Ottawa july 8 1891 daughter of lawrence burns and ellen cunningham

Also came across some more information on her parents, Lawrence burns worked
as a messenger in the privy council office  in the 1890's at a pay rate of
$1 44 per day and found Ellen cunningham listed as house maid 21 mckay st
1889 -1891 which was then Earnscliffe Home of the 1st primeminister.
