Note:  Above prepared by Michael Daley and appears (with narrative) in
"Pioneer Families of Osgoode Township"

see 1861 census sheet.
Bridget is living with son Alex.
Children all born Upper Canada
also living in the second house were Betsy McDonnell, age 14
and another family by the name of "Farmer".
A third house was vacant in 1861.

Bur. St. Catherine's, Metcalfe, Ont.
See Family History in Binder

Note: One of the members of this family was a Roman Catholic Priest who had nine 
children! He married, had his family, and when his wife died he entered the 
priesthood.

Fredrick John Gillissie , b. Sept. 19, 1909 and died July 25, 1974.To the best of 
my knowledge he was born around Vernon area, and married Lois Dool (or Droole)
of Kemptville Ontario. They were married on or about 1935, probably in the 
Holy Cross Church in Kemptville.

I saw your posting on the internet regarding Thomas Gillissie and Bridget 
O'Callahan.  They are my relatives as well.  My great-grandfather was Alex 
Gillissie (wife - Sarah Mullen).  He was the son of Thomas Gillissie and Catherine 
Sweeney.  My grandmother's name was Catherine Stella Gillissie Smetana.  As I 
understand it - Grandpa Alex Gillissie had one more sister, younger, named Mary 
Ellen who died when she was about 7 years of age.
 
If you would like to know more about this branch of our family tree - just let me 
know what you would like to know.  You can e-mail me - for the next few weeks - 
at tsmetana@orbitndt.com.
 
I enjoyed the posting!

May 20, 2003:
I was wondering if you have any information on Theresa Daley (descendant 
of Patrick McGee and Mary Hughes) and William Gillissie. Any help will be 
appreciated.
Thanks
