The parents of Owen Mooney were Patrick Mooney and Mary McHugh.
The parents of Catherine Blanchfield were John Blanchfield and Helen Hickey.
Patrick Mooney had a tavern at the corner of Riverside Drive and Walkley Road. 
Mooney's bay is named after him. There's an interesting story about the 
tavern in "Carleton Saga", by Harry and Olive Walker, page 118.

I would appreciate any data you have on Margaret Mooney, daughter of Owen Mooney 
and Catherine Blanchfield mentioned in your file on Owen Mooney ( Mooney's Bay), Ottawa.
 
Would this be the same Margaret Mooney who was married to Augustine  Fleming' and whose 
son Martin Fleming married Sarah  Ann Jewell from Chapleau Quebec, on 03 Nov. 1874.
Sarah Ann Jewell was one of nine children of Catherine Burns and Henry Jewell 
( website). Her sister, Emily Jane Emma Jewell was my wife' s great grandmother.
Records at St. Alphonsus of Ligouri Church ,Chapeau, Alumette Island , Pontiac 
County, Quebec state...a Margaret Mooney is interned there.
I would be interested to know if this is the connection to Owen Mooney's 
daughter, Margaret.
Many thanks.

Your Margaret Mooney mentioned above married Austin Fleming on 26 Apr 1841, too
early to be the Margaret Mooney who was the daughter of Owen Mooney and Catherine 
Blanchfield.
I believe that some of the Mooneys from Mooney's Bay went to the Huntley
or Almonte area with some Kerwin folks from Gloucester. They show up in the records of 
St. Michael's at Corkery, along with some Flemings who were concentrated there in the
1800's.
