I believe this family lived at Bowesville (now Ottawa International Airport)
The McEvoys had a store there. David O'Meara is on the 1879 map.

Hello Mr. Lewis,

I have found my David's parents.  They were Philip O'Meara and Julia
SLATTERY.  Both from Ireland.

It doesn't look like this is your David.

All the best Cindy.

Hi Al

Tried to send an e-mail from your O'Meara sight "Cindy & Al Lewis" but
it was returned, so you might want to check that.
(Checked it - I don't have a current e-mail address for Cindy ... Al)

I am looking for a Joseph P. O'Meara, married to Mary Anne "Annie" O'Dea
(1864-1947).  The "P" I think, stands for Philip after his grandfather.
Joseph P. was a Constable with the City of Ottawa Police in 1896
(sometime later Chief of Police, Renfrew.  Also owned a grocery store in
Sandy Hill).

His grandparents were Philip O'Meara (died in Ireland 1839) and Judy
Slattery (1785-1896 (111 years of age).  I have a copy of her death
notice 9 Oct. 1896 mentioning him (Joseph) as her grandson and also a
picture of her.  Judy emmigrated in the 1840's with four of her sons
(possibly Thomas, William, Philip John (?), David).  There was a
daughter Bridget, married to Michael Ryan and they emmigrated later and
settled in the Meech Lake area until his death.  Judy Slattery-O'Meara
took up residence in Nepean and worked for a Mr. David Hartin.

Joseph's wife, Mary Anne "Annie" is buried in Notre Dame Cemetery in
Ottawa, but no sign of Joseph P., yet he had purchased the plot in 1907.

Could this be the same Philip O'Meara and "Julia" Slattery you mention
in your O'Meara site??

My connection:

Joseph P. O'Meara,  ggrandfather.
Margaret Ellen O'Meara-Smith, paternal grandmother
Ivor Smith, father

Hi Al,
 
Do you happen to know of a Dennis O'Meara of Bytown who was married to Catherine Ryan?
A son Patrick Meara married 25 Dec 1853 Catherine Gleason also of Bytown.  Her parents 
were John Gleason and Mary.  Witnesses were Patrick Kelly and James McGuire. This was 
of Notre Dame Parish.
 
Thanks.
Mary

Hello Marilyn: 
Saw your message on Bytown or Bust site.
Seems that your O'Meara's are also my O'Meara's.   Joseph O'Meara married to 
Annie O'Dea were my g-g-grandparents.  Mrs. Philip O'Meara (died 1896) was 
my ggg-grandmother.  My grandmother was Veronica (Bonnie) O'Meara.  Her father 
Joseph was indeed a Police constable in Ottawa 1896.   
I don't have a lot of information, but would like to compare notes with you 
if you are willing. 
Please e-mail me at 
lorenadoxtater@rogers.com
Thank You!
