Surnames: McDermott, Cavanaugh, Gunn
Michael McDermott, b. 1797 d. 1872 and Hanora Cavanaugh, b. 1803 came from county Mayo?, Ireland between 1840-1850 to Cantley, P.Q.

Their children were Mary, b. 1827; Catherine, b. 1831; Julia b. 1834; Michael b. 1837; Patrick, b. 1837, d. 1924; and Martin, b. 1841.

Patrick married Margaret Gunn around 1867 she died in 1880. They had four sons: Michael, b. 1869; Joseph, b. 1871; Ambrose b. 1876; Paul August b. 1879.
Patrick re-married in 1883 to Pamelia McGoey, b. 1859, d. 1928. Their children were Anna Theresa b. 1884; Florence Hannah b. 1886; Lillian Mary b. 1888; William Patrick b. 1889; Thomas Francis b. 1890; Edward b 1892; Helena b. 1893; Gertrude Agnes b. 1895; and Emelie b. 1900.

I have information on many of their descendants. I would be interested in contact with any other descendants of Michael and Hanora.

I am looking for Mary McDermott. I know that she was born
in Ireland in 1808. She married Arnold Graffte, lived in St. Georges, Quebec, Canada, and had at least 2 sons, Edward and Thomas. She died in 1888. If you have any info on her, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Cindy Spain

Thank you for your response, Catherine. If you come accross a Michael McDermott from Mayo b. 1797 would you let me know. At the least we now both know there are other McDermotts from this area. Unfortunately I have not been able to find out where in Mayo mine come from to narrow down the search. Good Luck

I've been trying to trace back my Gority family tree. I understand that in the earl 1800's Hugh Gority married a Mary McDermott. I believe from county Mayo. The Gority named could have been changed from Garrity, McGarrity or something similar. If you know who Mary McDermott married, that might help me in my search.

Hello, I am related to the McDermotts in Cantley, Quebec and have some photos and information. I also need help filling in a bit of a hole near the top of my family tree (between 1797 and 1845). Hope someone can help!

I am the granddaughter of Margaret McDermott (born 1892). She had a twin sister Maud (1892). Her older siblings were Michael born (1879 or 1880), Edward (1881), Thomas (1882), Frederick (1884), Louisa (1886), and Hugh (1889). The family was always located in Cantley, Quebec.

Margaret McDermott (my grandmother) was the daughter of Thomas McDermott (born approx 1845, died Feb. 10, 1918 - Cantley Quebec) and Margret JANE Cosgrove (born 1851 - died 1935). On the 1891 Census, Hannah McDermott was living with the above mentioned family and listed as being Thomas McDermott's mother. She was born approx. 1803. I am wondering if this is actually Hanora (who was married to Michael McDermott from Co. Mayo Ireland b1797 d1872).

If there are any McDermott's from Cantley reading this post I hope you can contact me. I need some help with my tree.

Thank you in advance,
Jane Barett

Hi Jane,

My good friend Doug McDermott is a descendant of Edward.....he saw your posting but wasn't sure if he needed to subscribe to be able to post a reply.
So I told him I would help him out as I have a subscription to Ancestry....he may be able to post on this forum but I told him I would go ahead and make contact with you and if you want I can give you his email....
He is looking forward to sharing information.....He lives in Schumacher, Ontario which is just outside of Timmins....in Northern Ontario.
Regards, Christine

Hello Jane Barett. Not sure you are still with Ancestry as the last post I see is from 2010. I am a decendant of Micheal McDermott and Hanora Cavanaugh. Perhaps we could be of help to each other. not sure if we are from the same McDermotts but it would be interesting to find out. I am not from Cantely but perhaps we can connect our trees together some how either through this message board, email or Skype which ever works for you.
