Hi,
Looking to hopefully find more information related to obituary for relatives of Frank Hennessy...in particular with respect to his son Michael and a sister whose married name is apparently Heffernan.

From the 1955 obituary it reads...Francis Joseph Hennessy, beloved husband of Bertha Rossiter, and dear father of Michael (died ??)and Dorothy (died 1982)...brother of Mrs. J A. Heffernan

Unfortunately no knowledge of sister's first name (possibly Helen?) or even if she was also a Montreal (area) resident. Can only assume Michael also lived in the Montreal area. His sister Dorothy is buried with her father upon her passing in 1982. Buried at Notre Dames Des Neiges Cemetery.

Looking to trace roots of two individuals who may have immigrated to Canada around 1885/1886.

One fellow descendant of these two individuals believes they came from County Antrim.
What is known:
They were settled in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the mid 1880's. They had at least 4 children.
Three children were born in Montreal. James Joseph in 1886, Sarah Ann in 1887, and another James in 1889. Why 2 James? - not known if perhaps the first James (1886) died at a young age.

Their first child was a female named Mary Brady, but was also known as Molly Brady. We believe that she may have been born in Ireland. She died in 1957 and according to her funeral details she was 73 years old. Thus D.O.B. would be around 1884.

If in fact Mary (Molly) was born in Ireland, the family would have come to Canada some time between 1884 and 1886. September 1886 being the birth of their 2nd child in Montreal.

Hi,
Trying to find out more about a William (Bill) Findlay.

What I know:
He worked for a company named Ault & Wiborg and lived to the age of approx. 69. I was not able to find an obituary in the Toronto Star in August of 1945.

He was living at 560 Wellington St. West (at Bathurst) in Toronto in the years leading up to the year of his death (1945). Toronto Archives -tax assessment rolls - shows his spouse to be Theresa Findlay. Facts are that Theresa Findlay was born Theresa Hennessy and was first married in 1911 (in Montreal) to a James Brady, thus becoming Theresa Brady. Thus a second marriage to Bill Findlay at some later date, if they were officially married.

Same tax assessment rolls shows year of birth for Bill Findlay as 1876. Thus meaning he was approx. 69 when he died in 1945. Theresa was still alive when he died and it is not known when she died.

I am looking for history on the above individuals.
What I know:
Olive, as she appears to be known, was the former Mary Olive Cramer.
Her parents Louis Henry Cramer (died in 1928) and her mother Mary Molly Brady (died 1957) were married in 1912 - in Montreal Canada.

Olive was likely born around 1914. She had a younger sister, Rita Evelyn Cramer.

When their mother died in 1957 (died in Toronto Canada, buried in Montreal Canada) the obituary stated that Olive and Leonard were living in Rye, N.Y.

When they married & their residency over the years is unknown. As is the birth details of Leonard as I have no history on this gentlemen.
