Find Ancestors

big mistake on my part --I must apoligize --the name should be James Mulheron --Hugh was his father--I`ve seen the name Hugh Mulheron so many times in this quest that its just second nature to me --sorry again -hope I didn`t waste too much of peoples time and efforts

my final aim is to find Margarets family if any --children or whatever and hope to find out about my grandfather from them ..my mother is Hughs daughter and she never knew / saw him . Knows almost nothing about him . She is 97 now and is well . I would love to give her any information that I can about him

Hugh joined the Princess Patricia`s Canadian Light Infantry and was killed in Tilloy France on Sep 28 1918. He is buried at Crest Cemetry in France near Fontaine Notre Dame.
Both Hugh and Margaret were born in Glasgow .I believe that Hugh came to Canada on1908 and landed in Montreal Quebec and travelled to New Brunswick. Margaret arrived before Hugh in 1906 aboard the Sicilian with a group from Glasgow and proceded to New Brunswick. He was a baker and she was a domestic . Hugh enlisted in Sussex N.B.

Pat...I cannot find a Hugh Mulheron KIA 1918.....?? Do you know when Margaret/Hugh went to Canada or were they born there...?

On my grandfathers documents the name "Cartherny" is both hand-written and typed -so that is the name I`ve been researching . Is McCarthney a more common name because I`ve checked with many agencies and no one has ever found a "Cartherny " any place on the globe . I`ve suspected the spelling may have been wrong but I am relying on the WW1 documents . Could be that they are wrong .

many thanks to all who are trying to help me --very kind of you

Margaret was the sister of my grandfather Hugh who was killed in Tilloy France in 1918. While he was in France , her name changed on his documents as next of kin --from Margaret Mulheron to Mrs. W.M. Cartherny . I have no place or time of marriage . I do know however that W.M. Cartherny had an address of East Mountain Nova Scotia. Margaret was living in Saint John NewBrunswick at the time --a distance of approx.250 kms .
My best guess for marriage date is 1916-1917

Whooops! It appears the poster is Patric - not Patricia.

I understand you have also been trying to help him to get back here Reggie. I have advised him to respond on here so that he may receive further help. :-)

Hopefully Pat will be back here soon....she is struggling with the site a little. :-)

Where was the marriage?

How do you relate to Margaret?

Welcome to the Community Boards Pat.


Note: I'll let Pat know that she has replies to her query :-)

Possibly the surname was McCarthney or variants...

Hello Pat.
Where and when was Margaret Mulheron born.
Have you found a marriage for her and her husband. Do you have any more information at all.
Thank you

Hi , I`m asking for help to find Margaret Mulheron whose married name is Mrs. W.M. Cartherny. She was married approx 1915-17 . She lived and worked in Saint John New Brunswick Canada and after WW1 she and her husband seem to have vanished from the earth .
