Hello Al,

I came across a web page with this url: 
http://www.bytown.net/field.htm. It referred to my great grandparents, 
Thomas and Nora (Hayes) Field, as well as my grandparents, Patrick and 
Agnes (Myles ) Field. Your email address was at the bottom of the page. 
I am a grandson of Patrick and Agnes Field. They had four children 
(Edgar, Thomas, Kathleen and my dad), all born in what I think was then 
called Fieldville. My father was their youngest son, Joseph Patrick 
Henry Field, born in 1918. He died in 1972. His generation are all now 
deceased. My cousin Edsel Field's family still runs the farm in Low 
that my grandfather ran. They raise herefords, I believe. I live on the 
west coast. My dad met my mom (who was an Anglican from Victoria) 
during the war when both were in the RCAF stationed at Goose Bay - my 
mom a nurse and my dad a navigator on planes flying convoy escort. 

I don't know what your connection is to my grandparents, but thought 
you might like to know all this.

Yours,

... Patrick Field (lots of imagination in the way my family names its boys).

Pat - I read your message of  June with  interest. I live in Ottawa but spent 
summers in Fieldville in 30s and 40s and still go there at least once a 
year. My mother was a Hayes from  Brennan's Hill. Her mother was a Myles so 
we are related  both through Agnes and Pat. We spent summers of 36 and 37 in 
a farm house owned by Aunt Aggie and Uncle Pat as we (my brother and 
sisters and I, and our Vesey cousins) called them. When the Field men, 
your father and uncles, grandfather and his twin brother Mick were drawing 
hay from the fields near "our place", we would climb on the wagon for the 
ride. I have fond memories of those days. In 1938 my aunt and uncle built a 
cottage a couple of miles in the Fieldville Rd. so we continued to see the 
Fields often in summer and Aunt Aggie would visit us in town.
   You are no doubt aware that Edsel died in 1999.
I knew Harry had moved to B.C. and had married there, and that he had died 
in the 70s. I didn't know he had children so I am glad to hear of you.

All:
 
Here is a link to a story of Schull Ireland around the time of the famine. This is 
where the Gatineau Field Family comes from. An interesting part of it states  
"We can trace two of the emigrants who went to Canada at this time. Henry Field and 
his wife, Mary Driscoll, and their five or six children left Dunbeacon between 
Ballydehob and Bantry. They landed probably at Quebec around the time of the famine. 
By 1850 their names appear in church and civil records. They are clearing 
‘stony farm-wood lots’ high in the Gatineau Valley, thirty-five miles north-east of 
Ottawa. Their settlement, now a village, was called Fieldville."

Interesting to find such notes on Fieldville.
My grandfather Joseph Andrew Crocker (and his brother and sister) were 
adopted by Anges and Patrick Field in the early 1900s. My grandfather and 
his siblings were orphans from the UK. The UK shipped many orphans to 
Canada as there was a growing demand for farm laborers (and the UK wanted 
to rid itself of its responsibilities) Although we are not entirely sure 
where they were born, Joseph listed Dublin as his place of birth (Sept 3, 
1897) on his Canadian Forces papers from World WAR I (and identified Anges 
as his next of kin (foster mother)). This was interesting since he later 
served as a caretaker for the United Church in Ottawa. Most people from 
Dublin were Catholics, as were many of the Irish immigrants who came to the 
areas surrounding Fieldville.
