South Indian (Limoges) Russell, Ontario area. Their children are Patrick, Bernard , 
Mary,  John, Daniel, Archibald, James, Anastasia, and Malcolm b 1836 - 61. I am also

Joseph John R. O'Byrne s/o Daniel & Eugenie Racette m 16-Feb-1920 at St. Viateur, 
Limoges,Russell twn.,Russell County
to Amanda Julien v.Alexander Brownlee Joseph had a brother John James who m.

Blance Labrosse d/o Alfred & Odile Lafontaine. Here I have a Joseph Philias b. 
Aug 13, 1885 s/o Philias Racette and Celanese Normand, would this be the same?
 
I'm not related to these but picked up Malcolm O'Byrne from South Indian, Limoges 
husband of Rose Jane Shane and
Maude O'Byrne d/o Malcolm O'Byrne & Mary Golden Maude married Edgar Shane. These 
I picked up when researching my publication on the Shane history. If possible could 
you send me more information on Malcolm, Maude and Edgar, dates, places of birth, death, etc.  
 
The late Mary O'Byrne Davis wrote 'The Patrick O'Byrne Family History (1785-1981). 
Who were Mary O'Byrne's parents as I am a direct descendent of Patrick O'Byrne and the 
Racettes, I do not have her listed. I also have 7 generations of Shane if you would 
like to share information. I am probably repeating what you have, but you never know. 
Thanks for your help. Laurie

From Al Lewis, Feb. 1, 2002:

1.  PATRICK BURNS was born 1843 in Canada West, and died in Osgoode Township.  
He married CATHERINE DUNN.  

Notes for PATRICK BURNS:
In the 1861 Census, Patrick was working on the Smith farm on Lot 5, Concession 3, 
Osgoode Township. (Manotick Station Road)
He later married and moved to 200 acres on Concession 10, Lot 6. (near Russell Township)
He may have been related to the Burns on Lots 10 and 11, Concession 3. (Lawrence, etc)
or he may have been related to Edward Byrnes from County Queen's to Gloucester Twp.
	
Child of PATRICK BURNS and CATHERINE DUNN is:
	i.	ELIZABETH BURNS, b. August 1862.

Notes for ELIZABETH BURNS:
Baptism at St. John's, Enniskerry, Osgoode Township
Sponsors were Terrence Byrnes and Anne McGillicuddy

Noean BURNS died
in Mckillop twp, Huron Co. in Ontario in 1861.  He was born in the 1830's in
Quebec.  Dean was married to Hannah Catharine Kennedy from Halton Co.,
Ontario.  

Dean and Hannah had two children: Dean Samuel BURNS, and Bessie BURNS.  When
they were 10 and 12 years old (in 1871 census) they WERE NOT living with
their mother and step father.  Later in life they moved to Michigan in US. 
I'm trying to find out more about this story.

Bessie BURNS later married Alexander MCMASTER of Orangeville.  Dean BURNS
for a time taught at "a Vermont French school".

Dean lived next door to his brother and sister-in-law, William and Elizabeth
BURNS.  I think he had another brother, Robert BURNS, north of Toronto. 
Robert had several children (especially Dean) with similiar names.

Hi Al,

I am doing research on a Kennedy family in Glengarry and have only been
able to get as far as this info:
ANGUS KENNEDY was born Abt. 1880 in Kenyon Twp, Glengarry Cty,
Ontario.  He married (1) MARY MARGARET ROBINSON, daughter of LOUIS
ROBERTSON / ROBINSON and FLORA DUMOULIN / MILLER.  She was born March 28,
1890 in Lochiel Twp, Glengarry Cty, Ontario, and died January 25, 1976
in Alexandria, Glengarry Cty, Ontario.  He married (2) MARY ELLEN LEMON
July 27, 1901 in St Alexander's Church, Lochiel, Glengarry Cty, Ontario,
daughter of DAN LEMON.  She was born Abt. 1882 in Kenyon Twp, Glengarry
Cty, Ontario, and died January 2, 1910 in Kenyon Twp, Glengarry Cty,

I saw that you had a place on your website for miscelleneous surnames so
maybe someone else out there is searching this family as well.

I am hoping someone can help me with this family.  John O'NEIL (NEILL)
(NEILL) and his wife Elizabeth BARRETT, married about 1828 in CO
Wicklow, came to Canada about 1840.  They were accompanied by four
children, Patrick, Margaret or Mary, Elizabeth and Edward.  I cannot
seem to establish their place of residence in CO Wicklow, nor do
I know the names of their parents.
They settled first in Goulbourn Township, near Ottawa, Ontario,
and later moved into Ottawa.  John was listed as a carter on
local directories.
Thanks for anything!!              Jean Broadfoot

Hello Jean and Al,
What can you tell me about your Edward O'Neil?  I have an Edward John O'Neil b. abt 1831 
who married Mary Purcell we think in Montreal, Qc.  They settled in Ottawa, Ont. and attended 
St. Patrick's Church.  The oldest daughter Mary Ann listed that she was born in Montreal abt 
1855 on her wedding record.  They had 8 daughters and 2 sons at St. Patrick's Church.  Edward 
died on 4/13/1887 and Mary Purcell died on 8/19/1909 with the funerals held at St. Pat's.
 
Would be interested to know if this is your Edward and whether you might have seen them.  I 
have no weddings or funerals for most of the girls.  It seems they had moved to Gatineau 
around 1879 and I have been unable to trace them further.
 
I think Mary Purcell is a sister to George Purcell my husband's great grandfather. Any help 
greatly appreciated.

Am looking for information on the family of James HUGHES and
Brigid O'NEIL, marr 30 Jul 1878 in Ottawa, Roman Catholic.
James was born in Gibralter or Scotland, the son of John
Hughes and Suzannah Collins.  They had three children who
died young, Mary, James Matthew and Elizabeth.  Other
family members were Arthur J., Susan and John  J.  I don't
think Susan  married but am trying to follow up on  Arthur J.

moved to Aylmer, PQ and then may have moved back to Ottawa.
Any information on this family gratefully received.
