I am looking for any living descendants of Margaret (Ryan) Lemieux (1896-1961), daughter of Thomas Ryan and Elizabeth Leveille, and wife of Lorenzo Lemieux. Margaret Ryan had three known children, all daughters.
On July 24, 1915, at Misericordia Hospital, Ottawa, and as an unwed mother, Margaret Ryan gave birth to Mary Kathleen “Kay” Ryan, father unknown.1 Mary Kathleen “Kay” Ryan married Noel Ladouceur on February 17, 1934.
On June 19, 1920, Margaret Ryan married Lorenzo Lemieux, son of Oscar Lemieux and Georgiana Amyott. The couple had two known children: Thelma Mary Lemieux (1921-2003; married William Harry Morton in 1949); and Helen Lemieux (born 1924; married Shirley Gordon in 1953).
Any information will be gratefully received at mcmoran at gmail dot com.
- This child’s paternity and maternity were disputed; and she was at the centre of a cross-border custody dispute involving Dolly Ledgerwood Matters of Chicago, and Margaret Ryan of Ottawa. ↩︎
