Robert O'Hara Baptized August 11, 1867 - Parish of Aylwin, Township of Wright, Quebec |
We haven't collected much information on Robert. He does show up in the North Carlisle Township, Pembina County, ND - 1880 and 1900 Census. Robert O'Hara in the 1880 census This may be our Robert in 1885, living with his uncle Joseph |
Isabella O'Hara Angus and Isabella were married February 1, 1888 in Hurley, Wisconsin. The registration states Angus was a lumberman, born in Canada. His parents were John McDonald and Jennie Gunn. Hurley, Wisconsin is a twin city with Ironwood, Michigan. Esentially, one city divided by the state border. Residing in Ironwood, Michigan was James A. Shouldice - an uncle to Isabella on her mother's side. He was also involved in the lumber industry. Perhaps that is how Isabella and Angus met. Angus and Belle next appear on the 1900 Census for North Dakota, North Carlisle Township. The census indicates Angus immigrated to the states in 1873 - when Isabella was only 3 years old. The census also indicates their first child Edna was born in Canada so they must have returned to Canada right after their marriage. They moved back to Wisconsin before 1892 when their second child George was born in Hurley, Wisconsin. The 1892 directory for Ironwood, Michigan lists H.A. McDonald, Sawyer. Sometime before 1896 they moved to North Dakota where their fourth child was born. Around 1910 they headed north to Saskatchewan. They loaded everything into one wagon and the children took turns walking. My grandmother, Verna, being one of the younger children remembered riding most of the way. They settled near Semans or Nokomis, Saskatchewan, with their 10 children and I have found them in the 1916 census near Mount Hope. They were soon on the move again to Love Siding in north central Saskatchewan. |
