Hi, I have just started my quest. My mother, who died last month was Rita Cahill, born 30
July 1922. Born in Montreal, with 2 brothers - Timothy Francis and John, Sister Eileen.
all Canadian. Their parents were Francis Cahill and Bridget Morris who were married in
Canada, possibly Montreal. Bridget had left Cork with her sister to start a new life.
Francis was ex Royal Irish Constabulary who emmigrated around 1906 as a 20 year old- we
think. There seems to be some connection with work in Saskatchewan. thought to have been
involved in some form of security. Children can emember visiting London with their fater.
The family, without father, left Canada around 1929 and never returned though they tried,
problem was mother was not Canadian, though the children were. Bit strange. Family grew up
with relatives in Carnaross near Kells. Rita married Matthew Joseph Haggerty from Howth,
Co Dublin in 1942. Grateful on any information that can tie up with your studies.
