 January 22, 2012:

Hi Al, 

I’ve finally found some documentation for the O’Toole family, pioneers of Cumberland,  in the Killaveny and Annacurragh parish 
records in County Wicklow. 

Sept. 1818
Marriage of Michael Toole to Ann Cody
Wit: Matt (or Patt) Toole, Mary Ryan and Mary Timmons 

Oct 12, 1819
Bapt. of Thomas
s/o Michael Toole and Ann Cody, Ballimarrogue
Sp: James Toole and Elizabeth Jones 

Feb 17, 1823
Bapt. of James
s/o Michael Toole and Ann Cody, Ballimarroge
Sp: Pat Toole and Eliza Neil 

June 11 1825
Bapt of Batt/Patt
s/o Michael Toole and Ann Cody, Ballimarroge
Sp: Pat Cody and Ann Toole

Dec 5, 1828
Bapt. of John
s/o Michael Toole and Ann Cody, Ballymarroge
Sp: Patt Kavanagh and Cath. ---- 

If I have the right place, Ballymarroge appears to be in Clonmore parish, since it’s next to Stranakelly, Cronelea and Ballynultagh, 
but I suppose the boundaries were flexible then. 

Then from you, Al, I got this Notre Dame, Ottawa, marriage record for James, above: 

9 Oct 1843
After one publication of banns, marriage of James Toole residing in Cumberland, adult son of Michael Toole and the late Ann Cooley of 
County Wicklow, Ireland, to Sarah McNulty, daughter of Hugh McNaulty and the late Susanna Duffy of County Donegal, Ireland
Patrick Kione / Keogh / Keon ?, Mary Tomkins, Benoni Chevalier, etc. 

Sometime after the death of Ann Cody, Michael O’Toole married Helen / Ellen Tompkins. I believe it was in Canada, but I can’t 
find the record. Here are some ND Ottawa records for this family: 

26 Nov 1847
Funeral service for Denis Toole who died at Cumberland, aged 1 yr. + 8 mos., son of Michael Toole and Ellen Tomkin
Patrick Toole & Lewis Byrns / Burns [Bytown.net has a page on Lewis Byrne] 

1 Mar 1848
Baptism of Catherine, born 15 February of the marriage of Michael Toole and Helen Tompkins of Cumberland
Felix Labreche & Mary Clary 

By 1861, Michael O’Toole had died (I believe it was in a mill accident), and his widow, Ellen,age 50, was still in Cumberland with 
Michael, 19, Peter 17, and Catherine 13. The place of birth for the children is unclear. 

The family lived just a few households away from John Tompkins and Elizabeth Traynor (you have a page on them). Ellen Tompkins O’Toole 
could be either John Tompkins’ sister (given the large families of the time) or his aunt. 

Also living in Cumberland in 1871 were Thomas and Pat O’Toole (perhaps James was there, as well), sons of Michael’s first marriage.
