Hello Carole and Listers!
I'm new to this list, although I do subscribe to others regularly. In any
event, your e-mail today must have been an "omen", as I have been wondering
for some time if the surname CARTY might have been/be a derivative of
McCarthy?
I have a family that consists of a William COOKSON who m. a Marie CARTY at
Holy Trinity Anglican at Quebec City in 1812. William was a soldier at the
time. They had one child born in Quebec City (Marie-Louise) who was baptized
at Notre Dame de Quebec. Soon after this I find the family to have moved to
Montreal where other children were born/baptized at Notre Dame de Montreal.
Marie died while the family was still in Montreal, but soon after her death I
lost track of them. The only descendant that I was able to continue
'tracking" was Marie Louise, and yet in her marriage record at St. Michel de
Bellechasse, it said nothing about her parents--only that she was NOT a
minor. Knowing her birthdate, Marie Louise must have obviously been a
spinster when she married. My thinking is that she hung around to take care
of the family after her mother died and when her father passed away she
married. She eventually went to New York where she died at 101 years.
Perhaps others in her family relocated to another part of Canada or even to
the US--anything is possible.
Hopefully, someone on this list will have a clue as to what might have become
of this family, or even possibilities as to "where" a protestant like William
may have attended church--if at all. If William was a protestant and died in
Montreal, where would he be buried? I know that he did not die as a member
of Notre Dame de Montreal.
Thanks everyone!!!
