Searching for the Descendants of Matthew and Catherine (Carr) Minahan

When I started researching my Moynahan family history, I spent all of my time looking through the historical records for Essex county, Ontario. Later, in the 1980s, I struggled finding records in Kent county, Ontario where two brothers, Matthew and Timothy Moynahan, moved to Tilbury and married two sisters, Catherine and Julia Ann Carr.

Today's blog post is about the family of Matthew and Catherine (Carr) Moynahan. The idea to write about them was triggered last February when I noted that February 1877 must have been a particularly rough month for this family.
