He shows some family resemblance so I'm willing to say he's a relative.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Murdoch's Art Parlours Windsor Ontario

Thanks for the reply. I know there isn't much to go on. What can you guess by the age of the people. It looks like she is starting to gray a little as well as him on the top. I'm thinking late 30s early 40s? I'm trying to see who this could be in our family tree.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Murdoch's Art Parlors Windsor Ontario
« on: Wednesday 27 February 13 15:53 GMT (UK) »
My uncle had this picture in his old photos and doesn't know who it was. I'm guessing it was one of 2 people in our family that it was passed down from. So I've searched far and wide to match this up with an exact time period. So far my conclusions have been around 1880's.
It is cardboard and the corners were rounded.
The man looks to be around 40 but that is a guess.
I found one other picture by the same parlour online about a year ago but didnt bookmark it mainly because it didn't give any more clues. I found references in old documents and directories for Windsor for Murdoch brothers that were involved in photography. But it looked like a different business entirely. Was hoping some experts could glean some information from this for me. Much appreciated.

Waterford / Edmund Ignatius Rice Historical Documents / Letters?
« on: Monday 25 February 13 15:57 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to trace the roots of a family member who came from Waterford Ireland who was Catholic and supposedly had multiple brothers all who were Catholic priests. This made him the last in the family to carry our line in the family. He then later left around 1826 to come to Canada in search of land. All of our history back in Ireland is hard to find but I have reason to believe he may have been involved or his brothers with Edmund Ignatius Rice and one of this organizations in Waterford.
So I'm hoping to find more information about his activities and maybe if there were any documents dating back to the origins of the organizations that maybe could give us a clue to if any of my family members were involved.
Rice founded 2 organizations.
The Presentation Brothers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presentation_Brothers
The Brothers take three promises—poverty, chastity and obedience—and live together in small groups called "communities".
Congregation of Christian Brothers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congregation_of_Christian_Brothers
"The Christian Brothers, as they are commonly known, chiefly work for the evangelisation and education of youth, but are involved in many ministries, especially with the poor. Their first school was opened in Waterford, Ireland, in 1802."
I was wondering if anyone knew if any documentation existed of members?

If this is Thomas Kenney & Bridget , her surname might be badly transcribed...Carl, Carol, carroll, Carrell, Carrie
( Was there a Marie https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results#count=20&query=%2Bsurname%3AKenney~%20%2Bbirth_place%3Awoodslee )
O.k. Mary who must have remarried...https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JX9J-6LG
and the death actually gives their lot number ? Lot 19 Con. 3
Found a great deal of them, but not Ann http://www.urlm.in/qtir
I see they are Catholic https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M43N-QNY so you may want to look for a death or marriage under her middle name as well.
Wow, big family www.automatedgenealogy.com/census52/View.jsp?id=3806&highlight=17
I love how all little wee girls are "Spinsters" and all little boys are "Labourer"
Yeah thanks, I spent countless hours researching and sifting through untranscribed church records and some poorly transcribed ones. Some in french that were unreadable where I took it into photoshop etc to try and enhance it. I've found Bridget Carrol as Cahill and many other variations. I've found them listed as "Kinney" and "Kensy" as well. It is frustrating. Thomas had 12 kids, or should I say Bridget bore them 12. But I'm pretty sure 2 of them were either stillborn or died in infancy. There were 2 Catherines and 2 Edwards.
I've managed to reconstruct and reconnect many branches of the family. It is amazing how many there are now all stemming from these 2 people. Now I'm just looking for all the missing ones that we've never found death certificates and also missing people who are alive now who I've been unable to find. I also am working on tracing the roots back in Waterford Ireland which has been impossible even with the help of someone in Dublin getting all the records for me.

Canada / Re: Elizabeth Kenney
« on: Thursday 21 February 13 17:37 GMT (UK) »
I thought this was close but the more I look at it I find this is not a match obviously.
I too have an Ann Elizabeth Kenney who shows born in Woodslee Ontario December of 1850, shows as 9 years old in the 1861 census, and then in the 1871 census she isn't there. But there is nothing about internment at their church. So she may not have passed away. I can only assume by 1871 she was married off somewhere as she's be around 20.
If there is any relation I'd appreciate any help
