Hello:
 
I am searching for any information on these people- my wife's ancestors:
 
Martin MULCAHY and his wife Mary DOYLE.  (Names given on marriage record of 
their daughter Anna in 1889- see below).
 
Most likely from the Osgoode or Ottawa areas. Their daughter Anna Mulcahy was 
married 19 Aug. 1889 in Brudenell, Renfrew Co. to George 
Coughlan of Ottawa. Roman Catholic. Anna born 8 Mar 1868 according to 1901 census.  
The FHL- Pedigree Resource File has an Ann Mulcahy born in Brudenell Sept. 28, 1868 
to Michael Mulcahy and Bridget DOYLE.   ??? 
 
On the Bytown or Bust website you have a page of Doyle families (Dennis KEARNS / 
Ellen DOYLE) and a John Mulcahy all listed together. 
 
1. the Mulcahy / Mulcahey family also had relatives in the Peterborough area,
which may hint at the possibility of them being Peter Robinson settlers.

2. also researching the COUGHLAN family from Ottawa. James Coughlan died
1885 in Hintonburgh, aged 86 years, R. Catholic born Co. Tipperary, lived in
Co. Cork.  He may have been married in Ireland (spouse unknown) and
emigrated circa 1842-1846  with a son William . A daughter Mary born c. 1846
in Canada. He remarried to Jane Walker, widow of George GARDINER(2 children-
Jane Ann  b. 1848 Hull, Quebec, died 1929 in Ottawa, married James BYERS;
and Ellen b. 1850.)

James Coughlan and Jane Walker-Gardiner had at least 4 children:
a. Honora b. 1852
b. James Soloman b. 1853  d. before 1930 Ottawa. Married Jane HANAN.
c. Cornelius  b. 1856   d. 1910 Mechanicsville.  Married Bridget CUMMINGS.
d. George     b. 1858   d. 1950 Ottawa.  Married Anna MULCAHY 1889 in
Brudenell, Ont.

Any help or suggestions/contacts would be appreciated.
 
Thank you,
Michael Umpherson,
