- Hi Judy – my G-G-Grandparents were David & May Rice, descendants of Silas & Marie. There’s a very good chance we’re related ! I would love to see your (& perhaps mine too !) family tree.

I am researching my family tree, have run into a major road block when it comes to my Grandmother and her Brother. As far as i have been told they where put in a orphanage in Quebec .The parents were William John Roberts and Emily Hardy Roberts that came from England in about 1900-1909. My uncle name was Alexander William Roberts born on Jan.14 1912 in Montreal and my Grandmother was Minnie Mary Roberts born Dec. 9 1914 in Montreal . My Mother was lead to believe they grew up in Mount Cashel orphanage in Quebec but i cant find any such place in Quebec. She was also told that the children where taken to live with a Minister by the name of Rev. William Timberlake from this church in Verdun untill 1917. I am at a total loss and would be so grateful for any help on this . Thank- you !!!

Please help with my search

Hi,

I’m reaching out on the slim chance that you might be able to help with this (rather difficult!) research request.

I’m writing from Toronto where I’m researching a 10-part docudrama on Canadian history for the CBC.

One of the stories that we’re doing for our 1812-1860 episode is the construction of the Victoria Bridge in Montreal, a vast amount of whom were poor Irish immigrants.

As our show tells history through the dramatizations of true characters’ stories, we have been searching high and low for the names of some of these workers – but we have come up empty. We’ve spoken to historians and authors who have written about the bridge’s construction but they, too, were unable to find workers’ names.

The bridge was built between 1854-9 and there were as many as 3,000 men working on it at the peak of construction.

Obviously many of the decedents of the workers would still live in Montreal so my hope is that, if I can at least get a few names, I could perhaps get more biographical details by contacting living relatives.

Please let me know if you can suggest. We would really love to include the Irish worker angle in the story.

Many thanks in advance,

She:kon,
My Grandfather was Louis Rice & my Great Grandfather was John Rice both born in Kahnawake (both Iron Workers). My Mother is Mary Eileen Rice born (1920-2001) I have some pics of Louis Rice & Ethel Edwards Rice. I’m wondering if we are related?

Hi, I am doing my Family Tree, I ran into a road block on dad’s side with Thomas McCauley and his wife Bridget McDonald, As well as the native link to the Family. I was only at Dad’s mother’s Funeral that I sound out why there was a block on the St. Louis side of the family tree.
As the story goes, Grand Dad Paul St. Louis’s Family’s real name is Filiatrault and all the many spellings of the names, On Mom’s side it is Bruce, Wannamaker, Popkie/Popkey etc. Hannah
The native link is through the Filiatrault side of the family, From what Uncle Tom McCauley told me was that a family member of the Filiateault Family married a native and that was not what Catholic people do. So he packed up his new family changed the surname to St.Louis and left Quebec and moved to Ontario.

As for Thomas McCauley wife Bridget McDonald they lay at rest in Mt. St. Patrick Cemetery

Dad’s mother is Clemence ( went by Claire ) St.Louis married Micheal William McCauley
Grandma’s parents are Paul St.Louis and Ousella Rosaline Dallaire Paul St.Louis parents are
Samuel St.Louis wife Marie Felicite Lamarche Paul St.Louis Father Samuel St.Louis Samuel’s Father was Charles FILIATRAULT dit ST. LOUIS

I was wondering if you might be able to help me open some doors so that I can find my native Family roots….
