Thanks to Anne Burgess for this death certificate for Jeremiah Byrnes.
March 9, 2008
First off Al, thank you so much for your web site and all the work you do. It all
becomes an obsession in the end! With all your help, I've tracked my dad(Garfield)'s
dad = Lawrence. Lawrence's dad = Andrew (Andie Byrnes/Burns) and Andie's brother John
across the street from the goulbourn museum...and their dad Jeremiah! I'm still working
on all the other connections but I found something that may be of interrest to someone.
The 1901 census shows a 2nd cousin visiting at the time of the census at Andrew Byrnes'
farm. The name is unreadable but, turns out to be Benedict Fagan, his father=Michael
Henry Fagan. As far as I can tell, there is only one of those, although as yet, I don't
get the connection.
So far my list of names include:
Burns/Byrnes/Byrn etc
Burrows
Colligan
Green
Hanley/Hanly
Maher
McCavanagh
McEvoy
Mears/Myers
Murphy
O'Connell
O'Meara
Tierney
Travers
I wish I had listened more closely when my dad had droned on about all the Ancients.

Hi Gary:
Thanks very much for your e-mail. It's good to hear from another researcher of the
early Byrnes / Burns in this area.
Do you mind if I add your e-mail to our page at www.bytown.net/byrnejeremiah.htm.
I'd also like to add your list of surnames, most of whom are familiar in the records
f St. Philip's at Richmond.
Please let me know.
By co-incidence, this morning I loaded up a page for Anne Burgess regarding
a Michael Fagan on the Fernbank Road in Goulbourn, not far from the Andrew Burns farm at
Stanley's Corners.
Benedict Fagan must have been from this family. Also, I believe that an
Andrew Burns saved the records from a fire at Wesley Methodist Church (now
Stittsville United Church, corner of Fernbank and Main Street Stittsville) possibly in
the 1870's?
I'm also sending a copy of this e-mail to Anne Burgess and Robert Sample.
Thanks again for your e-mail!

Thanks to Robert Sample for the following:
Hello to everyone. I was working on a family and found that a male member had married a
Byrne. I was interested and started checking it all out and found a Burns family west
of Rathwell's Corners, now Stanley's Corners, Goulbourn in the Belden & Co. Atlas.
Here is what I have been able to come up with so far. Remember, this work is still
in the early stages of development.
