My wife's grandfather (Carden) came from Ireland in 1820. Her grandmother
now arrived. She came to Canada in 1823. A sister was here already when Mr.
Carden arrived. She told him that she had a beautiful sister in Ireland. He
intended to go to Ontario to make his fortune. Miss Ashby persuaded him to
stay until her sister Eliza arrived. She said she knew they would marry. She
died in 1882. They were married in 1824. Miss Eliza Carden born in 1826.
She married Mr. William Cousens in 1840. They lived in Chambley. He kept a
dry goods store and did well. The English troops were barracked there. Sarah
was born there in January 1848. Mr. Cousens moved to Bytown Ontario, in
1852. In 1867 it was named Ottawa by the government and made the capital of
Canada. Mr. William Carden was born in 1800 and died in St Césaire in 1884.
Mrs. Carden born in 1805. Died in 1896. A highly respected mother and
grandmother. Both from the north of Ireland. Grandma was very fond of me. If
I did not go to see her when in the village, next time she would take me by
the ears and kiss me. "You did not come to see me the last time you were in
the village." She was greatly pleased that Sarah and I married. She was very
lonely after Mr.
Carden died. She often asked me to take her out in my carriage. A happy past
gone.
