Hello Sharon, It has been some time since I last posted. I did find the record of my ancestor in the 1861 census (Thomas Driscoll). What a time I had convincing the local library that not all records were on line. Thankfully I found the record through the Mormon Church (family search). This document...

Hello Sharon,

Attached is the document I promised.

Let me know if I attached it properly.

Regards,

Richard

Hello Sharon, The John Carberry I found was married in Country Laois in Ireland and not in Montreal I will scan and attach later this week in a reply. Regarding old newspapers in Montreal I found this but it is not free. Other searches I did do not go back to 1855 at least for English papers in Mont...

Hello Sharon, I have ordered a microfilm from the Later Day Saints. Hopefully it will have the record you mentioned (there are three other microfilms that the record may be on). Should I find it do you wish to have a scan of it? Today I found a John Carberry getting married in May 1853 to a Judy las...

Hello Kerry, Thanks for your post. My Driscoll ancestor was born late 1820's and at least one brother in the 1830's. The first names are Thomas, Michael, Patrick, James and John. There were two James who were adults living at the same time. The trail takes me from county Clare to Rutland Vermont the...

Hello Sharon, Is there any chance that you printed the 1861 census record showing our Driscoll and Carberry ancestors living at the same location that you could attach in a reply otherwise I will request the local library to order the microfilm. (The local library has been insistent that all the cen...

Hi Sharon, I am beginning to wonder if my direct ancestor Thomas Driscoll was the son of James Driscoll and Mary Mc Grath as in one record that might fit (Dec 6 1829 St Senan's County Clare) there is a Thomas Driscoll with these parents with an O'Connor as a witness. Perhaps James Driscoll remarried...

Hello Sharon, I continue my quest regarding Driscoll and Carey families. I still cannot find Thomas Driscoll and Eliza Carey getting married. it seems she came to Canada in 1853 so that info helps. Thomas had a brother James and a brother Patrick and a brother? John and a brother/cousin Michael and ...

Hello Sharon, I do know that Eliza Driscoll and her husband Thomas remained in Montreal for the rest of their lives. My grandparents are buried in the same plot along with other family members.They had several children and my late mother is descended from one of their grandchildren. The problem I ha...

Hello Sharon, There was a bread company POM Bakers (Pride of Montreal) located in Montreal West. Beside bread they made doughnuts, fruitcake etc. This is what Palm might actually be. Eliza Carey married name Eliza Driscoll did go to live with her son John Patrick Driscoll after her husband Thomas di...

Hello Sharon, Once again I am amazed by the wealth of information. It seems that you have dramatically narrowed down if not determined the location of where in County Clare my Driscoll ancestors came from. I have been searching for over 25 years!! I have pulled out some of the information I have: Br...

Hello Ms. Carberry, I am absolutely dumbfounded! Tonight I will post this response but a more detailed one will follow probably after next weekend in which I will answer your questions and explain more about my Driscoll ancestors. My great great grandparents were Thomas Driscoll and Eliza Carey. The...

Hello, I am a descendant of Thomas Driscoll that came from County Clare. I know that he was born in the 1830's that he had a brother James and another brother or cousin Michael. There was also a John Driscoll and a Patrick Driscoll. His father was likely John Driscoll and the mother was Emma Connors...
