Hi Frank
Yes we have conversed over the past in regards to my Watters family, The 
Tighes and Whelans.

Firstly : I do not know who Patrick Whelans parents were. I do know that 
Mary Kennedy married Andrew Fogarty. Their son William Fogarty married 
Theresa Chartrand. Theresa's parents were Jean Baptiste Chartrand and 
Catherine Whelan. Catherine's parents were Patrick Whelan and Catherine 
McGrath. That's as far as I have gone on this at this time.

Secondly : Retreiving marriage records from the Archives, the following are 
my Tighe connections:

I don't believe that the James Patrick Whelan who shot Darcy McGee
was related to the Whelans in the Ottawa area. James Patrick 
Whelan was a drifter from Montreal as far as I can tell.
Over two hundred "usual suspects" were arrested shortly after the 
assassination - I'd like to see who all those guys were. 

Also, there's always been some suspicion as to whether they 
hanged the wrong man and James Patrick Whelan may have been innocent.

Tighes that Bind  (groan)

Hi Al, Frank and Wayne
I hope you all receive this. It is some what interesting. Spent a good portion down at the Ontario 
Archives today and came home with a lot of info, less than what I expected but still GOLD.
Frank - Thanks to Al's input to early baptisms at St. Patricks, I was able to put some maiden names 
to married names and straighten out my 1861 census reports. We probably have a fairly good 
connection with Patrick Watters. He could have came over to Canada with his brother Bryan (Brian) 
Watters born in 1811 and married Mary Maher in Ireland. Still further research required here though, 
BUT, your John Tighe married to Elizabeth Johnston is the brother to Richard and Thomas Tighe, sons 
of Richard Tighe sr. from what I gathered from his Last Will and Testament. I am forwarding on what 
I have so far. He was wealthy in land, Thomas was his favorite son. Richard, a fireman and John a 
Mason lived together in Ottawa according to the 1861 Census, ByWard, page 28. There is also a 
Charles Tighe possible brother or cousin to Richard Tighe Senior. He was a tough man, even on 
his wife Catherine Smith. Harder on John and Richard. Guess they didn't want to be farmers so 
they were hit hard with his gift. Please find attached how this all melds together. Take care

Kelly Funeral homes has written a book (see bibliog.htm) on this web site.

Source: Connaught Journal (Ireland), November 17, 1823:
"Some time back, as three of Mr. Tighe's tenants were returning from a
party given by the steward, they were set on, and beat and bruised
inhumanely by the constables, merely because they were more cheerful than
usual. It was remarked to the Police that the people were Mr. Tighe's men,
'to the Devil with Mr. Tighe,' said they, 'we'd treat him in the same
manner.' They confined these men, all bloody as they were, beat them after
they were made prisoners, hand-cuffed them, drove them off the next morning
to Innistiogue to Captain Power's, thence to Lord Carrick's, who happened to
be at home, else the Lord knows what would have become of Mr. Tighe's
tenants. Lord Carrick released them from the Constables on condition that
they would appear before the Magistrates at Thomastown the following
Saturday."

September 15, 2002:

Hello
Excuse the pun, but it was with great JOY to receive your email this 
morning. Yes I do have a lot of information, but I did not have some of the 
information you state. So, here  go
Annie (Kennedy) Tighe was the daughter of Thomas Kennedy and Catherine 
Costello, my great grandparents. Annie's brother, William James Kennedy was 
my grandfather who married Mary Margaret Taylor, who in turn had my father 
Joseph Taylor Kennedy. Dad died in 1972, age 53. My grandfather was dead 
before I was born and Thomas Kennedy died young at the age of 44. My aunt 
Rita (aka Sister St. Leonard of the Grey nuns) spent a lot of time with 
Annie and Bill Tighe. She was quite fond of of him. Aunt Rita and Uncle 
Corky (William James II) spent summers on the farm as kids. I also had the 
pleasure of meeting up with Cindy Tighe, a direct descendent of Patrick 
Tighe, and I will forward your message onto her.
Richard Tighe, Bill Tighe's father was a fireman listed on John Tighe's 
wedding cert. He died in June 1916, age 73 - 75. I have always wondered 
because of the severity of the Parliament Bldgs. burning in Feb 1916 if he 
was involved as a consultant. I can send you the GEDCOM files if you wish.
Now Elizabeth Carroll, Cunningham,Britt. I have her last Will and Testament 
and it tells a story there. She married widower John Cunningham, who already 
had three children, the oldest being Elizabeth Cunningham who married Thomas 
Carrol from Quebec, a blacksmith, and yes not related. The Will is several 
pages long and I have only entered a small portion to date.(I kinda of 
drifted off it). Wiiliam Kennedy was married to Isabella Watt. They were my 
great great grandparents. William 1806 - 1882 arrived in Canada in 1831-1832 
and married Isabella who's family arrived in 1832-1833. Isabella died in 
1875 and in 1876 he married Elizabeth Cunningham widower of John. By 
mathematics he was 70 years old, not 60 as listed on the marriage register. 
They had three more children making Williams grand total 13. Michael was 
born a Robert, but the father at the time of bith requested the name change 
to Michael William born May 21, 1877. Mary Teresa the second was born March 
14, 1879. She died at the age of 15 from I assume Tuberculosis. She was on 
Porters Island at the time of death and I have her Last Will and Testament 
also. Martha the youngest is buried with her father in St Patricks Cemetery 
in Fallowfield. Michael William's first wife Heleana Watt was the daughter 
of Con Watt, blacksmith / stagecoach driver for Nepean.
I could go on and on, but I should stop here for now.By the way I am also a 
descendent of Brazeau, my mothers maiden name. I have them back to 1635 
arrival in Quebec. I beleive they are not related as to this date. I would 
love to hear more. Elizabeth Carroll/Kennedy/Britt had Patrick Carroll as 
executor to her Will and she mentions her brother David. I could not track 
the family. It's nice to finally see here parents, gives me a break. Annie 
(Kennedy) Tighe had 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Looking forward to hear back, 
and thank you for your email.
Take care for now

Hello Guys!   I have been going over my records and the information you 
sent Taylor.  WOW!  So much to think about. First , the record  I have on Teresa 
McGraw . Her name was spelled wrong. She is Teresa Mary McGrath who died Dec 6,1990 
in her 96th year. I have a clipping of her death notice. Lists her step children 
and her three sons. I know this is correct because I have met her sons.  Information  in the William Kennedy and Isabella Watt and Elizabeth Carroll file, has under Children of William Kennedy and Elizabeth Carroll
1: Michael William Kennedy b 1877 Nepean, d1969.  2nd marriage to Teresa McGrath 
b 1895 d 1969. These dates for Tessie are different. Also Mary Teresa Kennedy , 
the child that died at 15, this person b1879 Nepean d 1894 Ottawa  lived to 
90 yrs old. Correct me if I'm wrong. 
 
Cunningham: I have John Cunningham  b1791- Inn Keeper - Bowesville Road M 
Catherine  b1791: from family records these were the parents of John Cunningham 
1833-1870 who m  Ellen Carroll 1841-1887. As I stated Elizabth Cunningham who 
married Thomas Carroll - on their marriage certificate under Mother Is Ellen 
Carroll. There were so many Elizabeth Carrolls she may have used  her middle name.  
John died at age 37. He was a Laborer and died when he accidently fell off of a 
building under construction.
John had a sister Mary Ann who married a McGrath. He had a sister Catherine who 
married William Fitzsimmons.

Hello Al, Joy, Cindy and Ken

Attached is the obituary of Bernadine Tighe, the wife of Collins Tighe. He 
was the only son of Annie Kennedy and William Joseph Tighe. Thanks to Joy 
for the confirmation and also Aunt Rita who also confirmed the association. 
When Aunt Rita entered the Convent, it was Collins who escorted her to the 
train station. She did mention tonight that she had the pleasure of meeting 
Deane, however I think Joy has more of an association with him than Rita. 
Thought you'd like to add this to the Tighe page.

Take care for now
Taylor

Hello all,
 
I'm searching for Wexford Tighes, and found this Tighe buried among early 
settlers from Wexford in Old Chelsea, Quebec.
 
15 Aug 1849
Interred
Richard Tigue / Tighe, Chelsea
s/o James Tigue / Tighe and Hannah Newcombe
Died yesterday, aged 4 days
Present: John Scott and Patrick Kearney
(microfilmed records of St. Stephen's Church, Old Chelsea, Quebec)
 
Your Tighes seem to be from the west of Ireland. Since reading Bytown or Bust, 
I thought this one might be yours.

And here is another one from Anne:

11 Feb 1855, Baptized
Honoria Tigue / Tighe
d/o James Tigue/Tighe and Honoria Newcome, Chelsea
Sponsors: Denis Conway and Mary Newcombe
 
I think there may have been other Tighe records on that film. I was focused on 
finding the Hendrick surname at the time.

Thanks to Michael Daley for this:

Hi to  AL, Grace,  and a " Happy Mother's day", to you Grace,   
Yes we are still in the land of the living. in reading your article  DATED MAY THE 
5TH  2005 , Richard Tighe & Catherine  Smith where you state  KELLY'S  Hotel ,    
I  stand to be corrected, but it should read  DOLANS Hotel, the Kelly's bought the 
property after the Hotel burnt,  it became  known as Kelly's Landing. 

The Tighe story is of great interest to me as they are related to me , 
I remember Bill ,and Dick Tighe (see photo above) and their wives, as I am related  
via Patrick Nash and Margaret Blanchfield, my G, G ,Grandparents,
