HI
As far as I know my father (1949-) Grandfather (1905 - 1997) (both Robert
Carmichael's !!) never left Ireland until the late 1940's - and then they moved
to the UK. His brother Sam continued to run the family farm in Glencaw.
My G Grandfather, Robert did marry Sarah lyle in 1896. Robert's father was also
called Robert - (who married Martha lyle), Sarah's father was James Lyle - who married
Mary Ann (surname unsure of)....
THe marriage was witnessed by John Porter Jemima Lyle
My Grandfather never mentioned being in Canada though. The Irish cencus of 1901 and 1911
firmly places then in Ireland.
As far as I know, Fanny b 1906 (Robert Snr's sister) married a Quigley and continues
to farm on Quigly's point in Donegal

I am still looking at the relationships between the Carmichael - Porter and Lyle family -
as there appears to be many!
Sorry cannot clear up your question re Canada yet.
Regards
Alan C
