John GALLAGHER's (Aug.1922 - Sept.1997) parents were Mary MEANY and John GALLAGHER from Kilkenny and Donegal respectively. His parents married July 17 1917 at St. Michael's church on St. Viateur street and always lived in the mile end district. John GALLAGHER Sr. worked for the railways across from the Irish Black Rock on Bridge street.

My father John GALLAGHER Jr. worked for Northern Telecom from 1938-1982 with an interuption when he went to war with the RCAF 407th squadron. 

Please see the photo of John GALLAGER and friends (1942) at St. Pie de Bagot and tell me if you can identify the others in the picture.

My great grandfather Albert Owen GEE was born October 20, 1852 in England. He came to Montreal sometime between his birth and the time of his first marriage around 1875. 

Albert had three wives:
1. His first wife was Martha TURNPENNY.  Who already had a child Polly TURNPENNY.

2. His second Wife Sarah Anna NEAL was from Ireland.  She was a nurse.  They had 5 children:
* Frances GEE married James Edward SHEA in Albany, New York about 1900. They did not have children that I know of.
 * Thomas Owen GEE my grandfather was born September 9, 1880 in St Antoine Ward, Montreal. He moved to Albany, New York around 1900 and married Caroline Salchow MILLER November 18,1903 They had six children, all born around Albany, NY area.
* Albert E. GEE married Mary (no wife’s last name).  They had seven children, all born in Canada
    i.Syril GEE
    ii Lloyd GEE
    iii Robert GEE
    iv Eric GEE
    v Edgar GEE
    vi Marguerite GEE
    vii Albert E.GEE Jr. 
* Alfred Owen GEE married Louise (no wife’s last name).  They had three children,
    i.Winnie GEE
    ii Grace GEE
    iii Robert GEE
I believe this family moved to Alberta Canada. Alfred Owen Gee served in the Boar War for Canada.
* Walter GEE married Mary no other information

 3. Albert Owen Gee’s third wife was Arella AMBROSE. They had two sons. I don’t know their names.

The children may not be in the correct order of birth. Most of the children of Albert Owen Gee were born at 37 Metcalfe St. near Cote St. Paul Road.  They were all Christened at St. Judes Church, corner of Vinet and Coursol St. in Montreal. I'm looking for any descendants of this GEE family.

Henry GILLESPIE (1810-1886) and Ann DIXON (1810-1876) had 10 children while living in St Johns, Quebec (on the Richelieu river).  Several died as young adults but  John, Farnham, Thomas, James Brock & Isabella married & had families that probably continue today. 

By 1880, several of the family members had moved to Montreal.  Henry, after retiring from his carpentry & furniture business in St Johns, lived with daughter Isabella GILLESPIE & her husband, Joseph Hugh CARSON & their daughter Ann Mabel CARSON in St Anne's ward. They were active Methodists. The Carsons are buried at Mount Royal cemetery.  

Surviving children of Henry GILLESPIE and Ann DIXON were:

* John GILLESPIE
Children of John:

* Farnham GILLESPIE married Elizabeth (surname unknown)
children of Farnham and Elizabeth:

* Thomas GILLESPIE

* James GILLESPIE

* Brock GILLESPIE

* Isabella GILLESPIE married Joseph Hugh CARSON (see Carson query)

Would be happy to exchange information related to this Gillespie family. 

* William Arthur Cecil HAMILTON married Frances Mary CLEMENTS in the early 1900's.   They had a son, James Bedell HAMILTON, who married Elizabeth Morecroft TOOKE.  I am their daughter, Frances Jane HAMILTON.

WAC HAMILTON had brothers:

* H. D HAMILTON, a doctor who did not marry;

* Beverley HAMILTON, whose wife was Annie, I believe. 
Their children were 
1.Leslie HAMILTON, 
2.Douglas HAMILTON
3.Gay HAMILTON. 
Gay had a daughter Janet who moved to Newfoundlandland--she would be about my age (64) and I would like to find her.  Leslie did not marry.  Douglas married and had a family in St-Hyacinthe.  I would like to find them!  With their help, perhaps I can find those who went before them.

My paternal grandparents, Phillip HARRISON born January 17, 1888, (died January 17, 1956) and  Kate BUTLER born October 24, 1890, each of  Wednesbury England, married there and immigrated to Montreal.  Lived out their lives in Montreal, raised a family, including my father Phillip William Butler HARRISON.  All are deceased now. I am searching for their records.

My HARTLEYs migrated to Canada 1875 - 1890. Any information on the above would be very gratefully appreciated, especially , birth dates of  children and arrival in Canada. There is no one left that we know of with this information. We have more  from the 1900s  to the present, but very little prior to.

James HAY: born ca1781 in Orkney, Scotland.  (I looked at the Orphir records, where he entered the Hudson's Bay Co., but his baptism does not seem to be there. Probably from another town). Spent some time at Chesterfield House for HBC.  (We looked at the HBC files at the NAC and found interesting stuff.  Seems to have liked fighting!).

He left the HBC and found work at the St.Maurice forges, near Three Rivers, Qc. He got married in Three Rivers (protestant) 8 Nov 1807 to Margaret KANTERDOLLAR.

They had four children: 

* William HAY (b.1808 in Three Rivers),
   William married Janet FLEMING (date and place unknown) 
   They had a son James HAY in 1828 (b. St.Gabriel Presbyterian in Montreal).
* Anthony HAY (b.1810 in Montreal - St.Gabriel Presbyterian)
* Margaret HAY (b.1812 in Montreal - St.Gabriel Presbyterian)
   Margaret became catholic and married Olivier PICHETTE (an innkeeper in Montreal) in 1829. 
* Jane HAY (b.1817 in Montreal - St.Gabriel Presbyterian)

James HAY was working for the North-West Company in Montreal when he died 19 Apr 1818
(buried St.Gabriel Presbyterian).

What we are looking for is the Orkney part (in which town was he baptised in1781, who were his parents, etc.). My wife's great-great-grandmother was the daughter of Olivier PICHETTE and Margaret HAY.

I have a large number of Henderson ancestors in the Quebec and Montreal areas.

I know my gggf, William Simpson HENDERSON was buried in Montreal in 1857 from the Mountain Street Wesleyan Methodist Church.  I suspect other family members may be buried there also.

William's brother, John HENDERSON was in business in Montreal for many years as Henderson, Brother & Co., hats and furs; in the 1850s the name was changed to John Henderson & Co., Hatters and Furriers.

In the late 1860s there was a firm Marcou & Henderson, furriers, in which James Henderson was a partner.  I believe this James HENDERSON to be related.  He lived for a time.

John HENDERSON was also in partnership with his brother, William Simpson HENDERSON in Quebec originally under the name of  W. S. Henderson, London Hat Warehouse.  Over the years the name of this firm was changed as cousins were taken in and the original partners retired.  Today this firm is Holt Renfrew and has branches all over Canada.

Other names associated with the family in Montreal were GIBSONE and BOTTRELL. 
John Fraser GIBSONE m. Margaret HENDERSON in Montreal in 1866. 
They had 2 children, 
* Maj. John Burford GIBSONE, who apparently never married and died in 1945; and 
* S. Maude GIBSONE, who married a C. T. MARLING-SAUNDERS.  Maude's husband died prior to 1930 and Maude died in 1949.  I have no information on C. T. MARLING-SAUNDERS and would appreciate anything I can get.

Maj. John Burford GIBSONE was the brother of the Hon. George Farrar GIBSONE and Lt. Gen. William Primrose GIBSONE, all of Montreal.  The GIBSONE male line died out in 1945 when Lt. George Derek GIBSONE, GGHG, was killed in action near Melfi, Italy.

Edmund BOTTRELL, a Wesleyan minister at Lennoxville married the widow of Thomas RENFREW, in 1838.  Her maiden name was Mary Ann Jane HENDERSON, daughter of George HENDERSON, Esq. of Quebec City.

I am trying to find the immigrant ancestor, who I suspect was James HENDERSON, Sr., who died in Batiscan, Quebec,  in 1851, aged 70 years.  His wife's name was Elizabeth.  Burial was in Mount Hermon Cemetery "near Quebec".

My Quebec Henderson ancestors seem to have been a veritable Clan and moved back and forth between Quebec City and Montreal.  There must be some living descendants in Montreal, but I have been unable to make contact with any and there are no family trees on the internet that can be identified with any of the above people.

My Hennessy ancestors are R.C. and spent from 1850s to 1950s living in Pointe St. Charles, and were members of St. Gabriel's R.C. Church on Centre St. in  Pointe St. Charles (Montreal).   They were living in Montreal before 1840's.

They were, Michael HENNESSY b. Tipperary, Ire. approx. 1815 and died in Montreal, July 1888 and his wife Ellen KENNEDY b. Tipperary, approx 1817 and died in Montreal abt. 1891.  Unsure where the marriage took place, but we think it was in USA.

The children were:
* James HENNESSY, b. Aug. 25, 1840, in Montreal d. Sept. 28 1912 in Montreal
* John HENNESSY b. 1843 in Montreal. d. May 28 1928, wife Bridget BENTLY

* Ann HENNESSYb.June 10 1855, in Montreal, married to John TURNER, May 20 1879 

In 1879 at Olivet Church in Monreal William HOGG married Addie Marion SHEARER, (b.abt.1854) daughter of Andrew SHEARER and Elizabeth CROW of Montreal. They left Montreal shortly afterwards but I have no idea where they went. Some relatives say they went to the U.S., but no-one knows where. I have no idea when or where William HOGG was born or who his parents were. Are there any decendants of William HOGG and Addie SHEARER out there?

The ancestors I am researching are Joseph Archibald HUMPHREYS (possibly spelled HUMPHRIES) and his wife, Sarah Maria CHERRY.  She was a native of England; he of either Ireland or Wales. 

As far as I can determine Joseph HUMPHREYS and Sarah CHERRY emigrated to Canada from Ireland about 1850 and settled in Montreal.  I come to this conclusion because my maternal grandmother, * Sophia Alice HUMPHREYS, was born in Dublin c. 1850 
but a brother :
* Beauchamp HUMPHREYS was born c. that same year in Montreal.

Joseph Humphreys and Sarah Cherry had two other children born in Montreal : 
* Charlotte Elizabeth HUMPHREYS, born c. 1855 and 
* Cherry Jesse HUMPHREYS, born c. 1852. 

When the parents arrived in Canada from Ireland they brought with them at least three other children, my grandmother, Sophia, and two older sisters : 
* Sarah Ann HUMPHREYS, born in Ireland c. 1839
* Frances HUMPHREYS, born in Ireland c. 1842.

By 1871 when the Census was taken in Ottawa all these children were living there together, except for my grandmother Sophia Alice HUMPHREYS, who had married civil engineer George Pidgeon BLISS and with him was migrating westward, eventually to settle in Manitoba.  I don't know when or where she married George Pidgeon BLISS, but it is certainly likely the wedding took place in Montreal, where her parents lived.  As for the date, it could not have been after 1871, because in the 1891 Census in Winnipeg a 20-year-old son named Charles BLISS was living with them there.  Though I have no evidence of it, there may have been children older than he, which would push the marriage farther back. At any rate, it would certainly have been a Church of England ceremony, for George  BLISS was the son of a Church of England priest from New Brunswick, the Rev. Charles Parke  BLISS. 

I don't know when Joseph HUMPHREYS and Sarah CHERRY arrived from Ireland.  I don't know what his occupation was, or where they lived in Montreal. I don't know when either of them died or where they are buried, though it's likely to have been Montreal. 

John and Helen (nee SCHAW) HUNTER, emigrated to Montreal c.1819 from Leith, MLN, SCT. John was a ship's chandler in Leith and followed a similar line in Montreal for a little while after his arrival there. This HUNTER family subsequently became the founders/pioneers of Huntingdon village, Co.Huntingdon - some first hand oral history of the move to Huntingdon in Robert Sellar's "History of Huntingdon....." (1888). I'm currently seeking info on all descendants for possible incorporation in a definitive family history of this Hunter family.

Alexander IMRIE came to Canada as a young man with several friends.  For several years, they worked throughout Canada and the Eastern United States doing construction work and other labor.  This would have been during the 1880's.  One of the friends died so Alexander volunteered to take the body back to Scotland, saying that he would return to Canada.  Well, he finally did after 20 years and 12 children. 

He and his wife, Amelia Lamb MCQUEEN brought all of their children to Montreal in 1911, I believe on board the Hisperian.  Amelia died in 1933 and Alexander eventually moved to California to live with his daughter, Margaret WILSON.  He died in 1949. 

His children scattered across Canada and the US; at least one branch stayed in Montreal. 
Bob and Eva IMRIE settled in Lethbridge, Alberta.  Three of the sisters, Meg WILSON, Millie HILL and Marie MATHESON moved to California which, for 30 years, became the site of the great Mother's Day Picnics.   John and Lillian MAWHINNEY (see Mawhinney query) stayed in Canada until 1945 when they moved to California also with their sons, Stuart and Ian.  Stuart married Jeanette KORVER.  They stayed in San Jose, had 4 children (I'm the oldest) then moved to Sumner, Washington, taking John and Lil with them.  Lil died there in 1995.

I would appreciate any information the IMRIE's; ancestry, descendancy and especially any information on Alexander's history.  His mother was named Elizabeth IMRIE but I have not been able to determine an age for her.  Alexander was born in Dundee in 1863 and no father appears on the birth certificate.

Looking for Joseph KING from Montreal. He married a Louisa who was born in  Paris France. I believe he was Protestant as were most of our lines. Joseph and Sadie were married by a Reverend, so I will assume Protestant. Joseph King was a tailor. At some time they moved to Massachussettes (Boston) where they  had at least 1 child.

* Clarence Henry KING in 1878. 
Clarence went to NY and married Sadie LOCKWOOD in 1910 (Sanford, NY in Broome County) Sadly both died in 1918 of the flu epidemic 4 days apart from each other. They had no children. Anyone have these KINGs in their line?

Looking for any information on the ancestors and descendants of Dominic MALT and his wife Rebecca WELBY. Dominic was of Italian background and Rebecca immigrated to Montreal from either England or Scotland. She was probably born in the 1890s?  (see WELBY query)

Dominic and Rebecca were married in Montreal probably in the 19-teens. 
They had four children: 

Rita MALT
Tommy MALT

Susie MALT went to live with the VAUGHAN family on St. Antoine street, the unknown daughter went to live with a family in Westmount, but we have no idea where Tommy MALT and Rita MALT went. We know they were living somewhere in Montreal in the 1940s.

Susie MALT attended the High School of Montreal in the 1940s and had teachers such as Mr. SPEERS and Miss PICKEN. She became a musician and won many awards. The family attended St. George Anglican church.

Thomas MAWHINNEY married Louisa BOMMER while they were in England.  The had eloped in Bolton in 1905.  Theirs was an elopement with a twist.  His mother did not want him to marry Louisa and locked him in his room.  His friends came in the night, pushed a ladder up to his window and helped him escape.  He and Louisa were married 2 days before Christmas.  He went to Canada with his father and some brothers and Louisa followed a year and a half later with his mother and the rest of the family. 
They had 4 children: 
* Lillian MAWHINNEY
* Florence MAWHINNEY

David  Jamieson McARTHUR died 26-Feb-1902. His son Colin  McARTHUR, died 22-Oct-1932. No more is known of him at this time.

Colin McARTHUR (Sr)'s third child, Margaret McARTHUR, seems never to have married. She died
31-Jan-1923 in Waterbury, VT where she was apparently visiting or vacationing. She is buried with the rest of the family in Mount Royal Cemetery in Montréal.

Looking for ancestors of  James McARTHUR and Helen ALEXANDER, possible descendents of Colin McARTHUR (Jr), and generally fill in the gaps.

Duncan McDOUGALL m. Elizabeth/Isabella BROWN at St. Gabriel's church Montreal in 1832.  Duncan d. 1846?; Elizabeth/Isabella d. 1845. (see BROWN query).  Any info on where buried?  Duncan was a farmer in Long Point 1834-1843.  Anyone know how to get info about Long Point during that period; ie land records etc? 

Duncan may be related to Alexander McDOUGALL, Montreal blacksmith who married Jane MONK,  March 1835, St. Gabriel Church.  Any related information or clues appreciated.

Looking for information on Hugh MILLAR who is buried in Section L 535 at Mount Royal Cemetery.  He was a widower of Mabel Alice ROBINSON; born Montreal October 9, 1883; died: May 8, 1967 at age 83 years.  His late residence was 72 Belmont Crescent, Westmount.  I am a Robinson descendent, and would like to know how his wife was related to my Robinson's.(see Robinson query)

Adam MILLER (d 1826) and Theodora LOVELL (d 1848) came to St Johns, PQ in 1820 where Adam was schoolmaster at the government school.  Some years after his death, Theodora and her children moved to Montreal.  

By 1841, Adam MILLER Jr and Robert MILLER were active booksellers, specializing in school texts & distributing publications from John LOVELL.  In 1850, Ann MILLER, probably a younger sister, married Hugh CARSON at St James Methodist church. (see Carson query) 

The Miller association with bookselling continues for at least two more generations.  Because this family re-uses so many given names, it has been difficult to reconstruct the family group.  Just how many children did Adam & Theodora have?

I am looking for a link to Michael MURPHY (parents Michael and Bridget)  who was born in Pittsburgh, PA in the 1870's and emigrated to Canada c1900?. 

All I have to direct me to Montreal are two photographs; one is of a family of four and the husband most definitely looks like one of our Murphy men.  The photo was taken by O.J. Desjardin, 1509 Rue St. Catherine, Montreal.  The second is of two little boys dressed up like farmers, taken by J. H. Fournier, 329 Rue St. Catherine, Montreal.
