CARROLL / AYLWARD; IRL>CAN>USA; 1853
William Carroll and Briget Aylwaard:
My gf was born at Doneraile, just north
of Mallow, and was baptized there July 26, 1830 --
I have the certificate. He was the son of John
Carroll and Mary Barry.
He attended Teachers College at Dublin where he
met and married Briget Aylword of Co. Carlw who was
one year his junior.
They seem to have come to Canada in 1852/3, spent
some time in Middleton Connecticut before
returning to Canada to settle in the Guelph,
Ontario area.
(Note, my gf William Carroll seems to have had
a brother. On William's death in 1916 a Colonel
Carroll of Kentucky or Virginia is said to have
written to say he he was my gf's brother.)
They William Carroll and Briget Aylward -- had several children some of
whom seem to gone to the U.S. They were:
John, born 1854/5(?) and Mary Anne, four years
younger.
By 1871 the family included: Joseph, age 9;
Theresa, age 8; Thomas, age 6; Catherine, age 4;
and Edward, age 2. A Charles was born in 1872.
Of these children, Thomas became a cigar maker
by 1881 while Edward was a cabinet maker and
Charles a finisher in a sewing machine factory.
My own father, the late William Thomas Carroll,
was the product of his father's second marriage.
As to his half brothers and sisters the children of Briget Aylward --
notes taken
in the latter years of my fathers life include:
1. Joseph went to NYC where he had considerable
financial success and lived on Park or Riverside.
He had thraee children; William, Elsie and
Charles.
2.John, who became a lawyer, went to Chicago,
married -- perhaps a German woman -- and
had a son Charles.
3. Charles went to NYC as well but did not marry.
4. Edward remained in Canada and had a son
Charles, who became a Jesuit, and another Edward,
who became a lawyer in Toronto.
5. Theresa, was a milliner and worked in Montreal
and Toronto and establish a business at Milton,
Ontario.
Anyone out there connect to any of this?
