David MYLES / MILES and Catherine RYAN
May 14, 2003:
Hi Al:
I'm looking for records of my Myles family. They first settled in Osgoode about 1839/1841.
Being Irish Catholics I would 'assume' they attended St. Mary's RC church. My understanding
is that church burned down along with all its records. My first relative over's wife was
C(K)atherine Myles and she has disappeared from any records I have found. Then about 1857-59,
they settled permanently in Venosta, Quebec. St. Martins in Martindale became their parish,
although they can be found in various RC churches along the Gatineau and in Ottawa
getting married etc.
There were Myles with some matching names with the second Peter Robinson group, but I'm
unable to match up concretely with any of the Myles names.
Hopefully, leaving no stone unturned.

Hi Garry:
Thanks for your e-mail. I'm also interested in the Myles family.
Here's a baptism which occurred at St. Mary's Church, South Gloucester in 1849:
William Myles was born on January 20, 1849, son of David Miles and Catherine Ryan.
The godparents were Nicholas Sullivan and Mary McGee who are my GGGrandparents.
The officiating priest was Father Deleage who brought many of the families up to
the Maniwaki (Venosta?) area to settle in the 1850's.
I'll keep an eye out for your Myles family. Most of these early Osgoode families have
records (before 1848) at Notre Dame downtown (missionaries came from Notre Dame to
the chapel at South Gloucester in the early days) and recorded events in the
registers of Notre Dame.
I'll set up a new page for these folks and will let you know when I find anything more.

Here's another one - this one is registered at Notre Dame:
8 Aug 1841
Baptism of Margaret, born 30 June last of the marriage of David Miles / Myles and Catherine Ryan
Witnesses: Patrick Cangley & Cecilia Doyle (Osgoode families)

And it gets curioser:
St. Mary's, South Gloucester,
Jane Dailey / Daley, born Sept 7, 1848, was baptized on October 14, 1848. Her parents were Michael Daley and
Catherine Miles. Godparents were James Johnston and Mary O'Connor.

Mr. Michael Daley has written a 140th Anniversary Commemorative Booklet,
1845-1985 for Our Lady of the Visitation Church which was built in the late
1840's.
Hello Michael, I believe I have corresponded with you some time in the
past. I was wondering if it would be possible to purchase or get a copy
of the above booklet? I am still looking for my Myles family descendants
who were from Ireland and lived in Osgoode for a period of time, before
settling in Venosta, Quebec.

P.QUEBEC looking for info on a Miles family in Osgoode, this is what I found in
OUR Lady OF the VISITATION register it reads. Michael Myles son of
David Myles and Catherine Ryan born JULY 19. 1853 baptized July 30 witnesses
were Robert Mantel / Mantle and Ann Beregen / Berrigan / Bergin.[ end of quote]
in later years in visiting at St. Patrick Home in Ottawa , in a conversation
with an elderly man , Frank Miles , he was married to Elizabeth Daley
daughter of Michael Daley and Bridget Mulvihill,, Frank informed me that
his father had left Osgoode about , or in the 1860's ???. they had lived at
Manotick Station, around the time building of the railroad. and then moved on ,
up the Gatineau . I stand to be corrected but could she be buried down here. ??
Al you may have this also from St,Mary's, Marriage of John Doyle August 4 1852
son of Sylvester Doyle on one part and Mary McGee wife in the first marriage
of Michael Sullivan If your Margaret Doyle is a sister to, Cecilia she would be
the daughter of Slyvester Doyle and Mary Bailey , Cecilia ?. married
Patrick McEvoy , son of Thomas McEvoy and Margaret Marshall , Patrick and his
wife gave land for St. John's church.

Attached is a marriage document for William Moyler and Agnes Wardrope which took place
11 Nov 1881 in Lanark, Ontario.
I believe this to be the the William Myles / Agnes Wardrobe on your MYLES section in
bytown.net
There are many similars (but also differences).
William Moyler was born in Osgoode in 1854. (It is not 'unusal' for people to 'lie'
about their age when they get married.). William was the son of David Moyler and Catherine
Douglas. He married Agnes Wardrope in Lanark, Ontario. Agnes was born in 1858 in
Ross Township.
William Myles was born in Osgoode in 1846. William was the son of David Myles and
Catherine Ryan. He married Agnes Wardrobe in Carleton Place, Ontario.
