Hello:
Thanks for responding to my e-mail
The Patrick Carroll who lived on next farm was one who married Rita Hendrick
They had three boys
Lawrence who married Ottawa girl and lives in Toronto area
Edward killed in car accident
Leonard who married and lives in Vancouver.
I don't want to confuse you but I have a little different story on Carrolls, The original
Carroll house is still on old Carroll property. It is a renovated Log House.
It is now owned by daughter of Harvey Kelly who farms the property.
The Dan Carroll who married Harriet Lennon lived on the homestead for some years The most of
their family was born there before they moved to Farrellton
near old Poupore station. They later built a house across the river. Dan was a salesman and
was away a lot and Harriet kept switch board for telephone co.
Dan was son of Dan & Ellen Swain I always thought.
Their children were:
Harriet M Oliver Levesque
John M Theresa Bradley
Gertrude Single
Wilfred M Eleanor Vachon
Patrick M Rita Hendrick
Francis M a sister of Wilfred's wife
Sabina M Jos. McGoey
The Carrolls and us lived a few hundred yards apart when they lived in Farrellton.
I am sorry to say they have all passed on. Their families have all have left and live
some where in City. Wifred's wife lives in Seniors home in Wakefield.
Dan Sold Farm Machinery (Frost & Wood) from his shop in Farrellton after he got older.
John and Wilfred worked on Railroad, Francis was carpenter and construction foreman for
many years Patrick farmed on next farm to me It was old Lannon place (His Uncle)
James Carroll was married to Ann Lannigan and lived and farmed in Egan Twp. These
family of Carrolls are related to my wife through Lannigans.
The children of Annie and James are:
Patrick b Oct 19, 1934
Carmel b June 13,1936
Elizabeth b Jan 23, 1938
Rachel b July 23, 1939
Alvira b May 3, 1942
The Lannigans and Carrolls are related other ways . I will have dig that up.
Someway I will send other info if you want to listen to me after all this

Joy,
On the Daniel O'Carroll and Ellen Swain page on Bytown or Bust, you mention that Patrick
Carroll was married for a second time to Anne Kelly. Do you know who Anne Kelly's
parents were?

Greetings folks!
I am Lawrence P. Carroll son of Thomas Patrick Carroll (b. Dec 20, 1906; d.
Oct 6, 1970) and Mary Rita Hendrick (b. Oct 25, 1916). Ray Daly has contributed
substantially to the facts in this file.
My brother Edward Joseph Carroll (b. May 7, 1948; d. June 25, 1984) was
unmarried at time of his death, by accident (pedestrian hit by car in
Gatineau Qc June 24, 1984)
My other brother Leonard Martin Carroll (b. Jan 6, 1954) lives in Surrey B.C.
and has two children Lance and Allison
We grew up on the old Lannen farm next to Ray Daly, on what I think is now
known as Woods Road which runs from Hwy 105 (previously known as Hwy 11) to
a T intersection, at which corner the families of Daniel Carroll, son John
(Sean) and later my grandfather Daniel lived. All of Dan (II's) children
were born there.
The second Daniel Carroll (Dan II) (b. Apr 5, 1875 d. 1944 in Farrellton)
married Harriet Lannen (b. Dec. 8, 1872) , these are my grandparents. Prior
to her marriage to Dan she lived with the Kilfoyle (Guilfoyle) family on the
farm where I grew up, next to Ray Daly.
There's a long story here about the Lannens, I won't bore you with it now.
The 1901 census in now fully available on the internet (search - National
Archives Canada) and it shows four people living on said farm: Daniel Carroll,
Harriet Carroll, Mary-Ann Carroll, sister age 12, and Catherine Knox, "G Mother"
of Dan (head of house) (b. Mar. 17, 1824, Ireland) age 77.
1881 census shows Daniel Carroll, age 6 and John Carroll, farmer, age 37, head
of household.
John married Honora Knox and as far as I know they had four children, three girls
and one son Dan. The girls were Mary-Ann (known as Mary) who married Ray Halliday
and lived for many years on Sunnyside Ave in Ottawa, Katie who married Joe Murray
and lived in Low Quebec and a third sister whose name I cannot recall, but I think
she married a MacDonald, and lived in Ottawa, and may possibly have divorced and
married a second time.
The 1891 census could be very revealing here, I have never seen it, its' not on
the net and I have not been to the archives in 25 years.
I would be pleased to share information with, or answer questions from
anyone interested.

Hi Larry:
Thanks very much for your e-mail. It sure is a small world.
You and I are the same age. Are you related to the Terry family from Ottawa?
The best man at my wedding was Ken Terry. His mom may have been a Farrell or
Carroll - he had relatives in Farrellton and Chelsea.
One of his cousins from there was Lawrence Farrell or Carroll, about our age.
He also had cousins named Hendrick who lived in Port Hope.
Talk to you soon.

Hello Al, I am the cousin Lawrence Carroll. Ken Terry is my first cousin and his
mother Teresa was my mother's sister as well as my Godmother. You talk about a
small world.
Did you live near Ken when they lived on Arlington St in Ottawa, if so I think
I remember you.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Larry
___________________________
also from Larry and posted on December 13:
The 1901 census shows:
Family #39 Daniel Carroll (g son of original Daniel) and wife Harriet Lannen
Family #40 Martin Bowes b. 9 Nov 1822, Ireland age 77, and
Elizabeth Bowes b. 4 Jun 1827, Ireland age 73
son Robert Bowes b. 7 jun 1852, Quebec.
Comment: by this time both Daniel and Ellen have passed away
John (Sean) and Honora Knox have also passed on.
I do not know at this time the location of the Bowes farm but I am guessing
that it is very close to the Daniel Carroll homestead.

Related families in the Chelsea / Farrelton area in the 1800s were Mulvihill ,
Hendrick , and Daly families.
September 29, 2005:
I am writing to ask if any of the Carroll correspondents have a Catherine Carroll
in their lines.
Catherine Carroll, born in Co. Kerry in 1799, died Sept. 12, 1889. She was married in
1836 in Ottawa, in a Catholic Church, to William Hatton (b. Co. Tyrone in 1805).
Catherine and William farmed near Coldwater, ON, and in 1841 moved to Sydenham Township,
Grey County. They had six sons, two of who died in the Cholera epidemic in 1848.
Catherine Carroll Hatton is buried in the Hatton Family Cemetery on the family farm,
near Owen Sound, ON.
Any assistance identifying members of Catherine's family or suggestions about where
I might search would be appreciated.
