[Ann E]

 Ellen LACEY born 26.7.1856 Ryde IOW
25 12 .1872 Married William KAY soldier Residence Parkhurst camp IOW
Ellen (LACEY) KAY arrived in Canada in September 1894. With her were her children,

Fred William.    Born Ryde IOW 29.1.1891 one of a twin
She left William KAY by then
When Ellen KAY arrived in Canada she was Mrs. O'Flaherty and she was with child.
Leila O'FLAHERTY was born in May, 1895.  I have no idea what ship or what port. 
She may have been Mrs. Kay or Mrs. O'Flaherty, (husband was Maurice a tailor from 1901 census haven’t found marriage) but the children would be listed with her.                
 Ellen (LACEY) KAY, O’FLAHERTY was living at King St Dundas 12 .4.1915  (in report of death of her son Bertram Charles) Maurice died 13 September 1913, I don’t know when but she later married --- Hunter
her children
Kate, married pre 1897 to David PYLE in Hamilton

Alice, Kay died in October 1920 I don’t know where or if she was married.
 
Bertram Charles returned to the Isle of Wight. He married an English woman and joined the army. He was killed at Neuve Chappelle in March 1915. His children were raised in Canada.
 
Fred KAY had died in Dundas in 1990 this is all I know of him.
Any info or suggestions would be most welcome

  Hi Janice
Thank you for all the info you so kindly looked up much appreciated ,from the info you gave I tried to look for the burials,  I could not find them, what did I do wrong ,? I was looking to see if there was an age given .
I have spent a lot of time looking for the ship that Ellen KAY arrived in and port she arrived at, all I know is  was September 1894 I have searched under LACEY, KAY &
O'Flaherty & variations, also looked for  Maurice  O'Flaherty( to se if he brought his family with him form the IOW)  couldn’t find him either
Thanks again AnnE

On the link I gave you above;

http://ogs.andornot.com/OldFiles/CemeteryIndex.htm

Wait until it is completely loaded, then type the last name and the name of the cemetery, or just the name of the cemetery. Unfortunately, it does not list the ages or dates of deaths for any of the people you are looking for.

You can either try and get in touch with the cemetery for any other information they may have on file, or you can see if someone can do a lookup for you. Below I have posted a link that lists people willing to do lookups. You want the people from "Hamilton" or "Hamilton - Wentworth" areas. The only thing they ask, is that you not ask for the same information from 2 or more sources. (So you can ask one for cemetery lookups and photos, and another for public records lookups.) Most, if not all, should be free, except of course for the cost of copying, etc.

Hope this helps.

Here is a link that I found interesting, although it has nothing to do with the Canada connection.

Also this link; I am not sure if it is of any use, but maybe.
