Well I have nearly 1200 Carey records in the database spanning the years 1700 to 1905. I would be happy to extract some for you, but a name or date range would make it easier.

I noticed you had 1200 Carey's.
I was wondering if you might have John Edward B 1816 -1851, M Maria Bazzoni,
John Joe B1848 M Octavie Ethier.
Alfred B 1882-1954 M Elizabeth Barbeau
.Albert 12/30/1909-1974 M Berthe Jean.
Stemed from Ireland to Sainte-Sophie Quebec 0r Comti of Terrebonne Que.
Here's hoping ,Thank You

Sorry, butthe records I mentioned are all for Scotland where my Careys originated, as far back as I can determine. I have no information on Careys in Quebec, apart from the time my family spent in McMasterville in the early part of this century before they moved to Ontario.

Thank you for replying anyways.I need Irish background who settled in Quebec.

I am as far as George Gebbie fisherman m. Janet Bishop 1820; both buried Riccarton churchyard; 5 children baptised; 3 children emigrated to Australia.

I have an ancestor Charles Carey, b. 1803 Portsmouth to a military family. He married a Scottish woman, Patience MacLeod sometime before 1825 and settled at the Harrow School after his stint with the army, until his death in 1890. I haven't been able to locate the origins of his family. Does he fit into your Scottish clan? Thanks for the help!

Hi, would be glad to share info on Carrie & Carey from Dundee, St Vigeans area. I'm a direct descendant of: Joseph Napier Carey b. 28/3/1887; James Carrie or Carey b. 18/6/1861; James Carrie (Carey) b. 28/6/1828. Neil Carey

Hi
I've just found your entry re George Gebbie & Janet Bishop.
This George Gebbie was my GGG Grandfather. One of his sons was George Gebbie born 1827 Ayrshire & apparently married a french woman in Gibraltar during his service there with the 26th Cameronians.

I am from Australia.
