January 26, 2009:

Hi Al,
 
Since I have these Clonmore records, I've been coming at the families on the CD sometimes 
by accident.
 
Attached is the emigration notice for Margaret Byrne; the children's Clonmore baptisms 
show the parents of this Ballyraghine family to be Owen Byrne and Margaret Byrne.
 
And also attached are the Ottawa marriage records (same page) for Patrick and John Byrne, 
sons of Owen and Margaret Byrne. (We discussed these two earlier, I think, but I hope I 
haven't already given you the conclusion below!)
 
If these two sons were in Bytown, then the rest of the family must have arrived in 1852 as 
well, too late for the 1851 census. So I believe we now have another FW family for our chart.
 
I'll see if I can find some of the others, and then I'll send you the listing for the chart.

I've gone through the Drouin records for Ottawa without finding the rest of the family, so 
I'll go with Margaret, John and Patrick for the moment. Their marriage records are below, 
and the ones for Patrick are interesting:
 
St. Patrick's Church: 
6-8-1858
Marriage of Patrick Burns, 25, s/o Owen Burns and Margaret Burns, to Mary Hayden, 26, 
d/o Thomas Hayden and Catherine Hayes
Wit: Lawrence Burns and Joanna Kennedy
 
Would this be one of your Lawrence Burns? (I think that this Lawrence and Joanna are from 
                                          Fallowfield / Jockvale ... Al)
 
25-2-1868
Marriage of Patrick Burns, 36, husband of the late Mary Headen, to Mary Linnon, 33, d/o 
John Lennon and Ann Coghlan
Wit: Denis Burns and ---- Linnon
[A more complete record is given on Bytown or Bust, showing Denis Burns as "groom's third 
cousin," and Catherine Linnon as "the bride's sister."]
 
20-7-1858
Marriage of John Burns, 33, s/o Owen Burns and Margaret Burns, to Maria O'Connor, d/o 
Francis O'Connor and Ann Nolan
Wit: Margaret Burns and Edward Mc-----
 
The emigration record for this family lists their residence as Ballyraheen, but the 
children's baptisms were in that list I sent you the other day, and they lived in 
Ballynultagh then. Not very important, as John says the two townlands were virtually the same.
