Find Ancestors

Well, from the message received from Jim, looks like he has had contact from one of Rose's descendants in Canada throught the Ancestry tree I contacted for him. He sent a Pm with many thanks for all the help received and is looking forward to comparing notes with the tree owner - they both have lots of into to exchange. So I'll pass on his thanks guys!

Have also had a message from the Ancestry member thanking me for putting them in touch.

So,hopefully, another good ending! :-D

Aumond is just 170km N of Ottawa
Maniwaki is 20 kn S of Aumond.
I don't know exactly where Kensington was, but it must have been in the same general area of the Gatineau Valley.

Thanks again for your help Flip!

OK, message sent, now it's up to the Ancestry tree owner.

good luck
Flip

Oh and Eringobragh1916, sorry but I've never heard anything about a Joseph/John Driscoll so I don't think I'll be requiring any information about him. Thanks for your efforts though! :-)

Special thanks to Margee as well. Very interesting and informative stuff!

Flip that sounds amazing, I will PM you my e-mail address. I'm still not sure if all of this is right but it all sounds extremely promising so thank you all again for your time and help! :-)

A tree on Ancestry has Rose & Maria and their families - it's also on Mundia which is free to view, although you need to register.

Added: The tree owner is the son of John Stanley Kearns, and grandson of Rose. He is an active member of Ancestry last logged on yesterday. If you want to contact him I can send a message through Ancestry just send me a PM with your e-mail address.

Joseph travelled out 20th August arriving 28th.. Liverpool to Quebec..on the Corsican

Their arrival in Canada, with her is Martha Driscoll, 14 - I think this should be Maria.

There is also another child Kathleen Driscoll (11) so not sure if she is also connected.

This Rose Ann ( not Amos) Driscoll who married John Francis Kearns (not Hearns) in Hull, Quebec in 1927 was the adopted daughter of Michael White & Catherine O'Donaghue. Could she be yours? Hull is just across the river from Ottawa.

The "Joseph " Driscoll aged 9yrs who travelled out went with the RC Group from St Edwards Boys Orphanage L'Pool....
If you think he may be yours I can let you have a copy of that party however it doesnt give much detail....

Thank you very much guys. All very interesting and helpful. I'll look into these links and if anyone's interested I'll post my findings.

I know you're asking after the children, but wondered if you had details of the marriage you mentioned :

Name: William Driscoll - hydraulic crane driver
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1878
Age: 23
Spouse Name: Caroline Vine
Spouse Age: 20
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 21 Oct 1901
Parish: Stepney St Philip
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Father Name: William Driscoll - labourer
Spouse Father Name: Francis Vine - boot maker
Register Type: Parish Register

Witnesses: John Driscoll Sarah Vine.

Groom's address: 48 John St.
Bride's address: 38 Clark St.

Think I may have found them....

There was also another child a boy named Joseph...? Could be John mispelled.

They (If this is them) were under the Stepney Board of Guardians and the RC Emig.Soc.
They went out to Canada 1913....

You can view the 3 on the Collectionscanada site.....
The Ship was The Corsican out of L'Pool....although I cannot find a Mary/Marie listed .

Greenfields was a Roman Catholic School /orphanage run by the CCPS (Catholic Child Protection Soc.) and the Magdeline Sisters .It became an Approved School in the '70s..still standing..I believe its now called Nugent House Care.?

From various reports over the years..not somehwhere you want to read about if you had family there.

Wigan World website had lots written about it.

Many of the children under the CCPS ended up in Canada.."Home Children"...scheme .
May be worth checking the Data Base....
