-----------------------------According to a researcher friend of Anne Burgess, Dave, he says1. We now know that Bridget (d. of Barth) was born in the city of Montreal.
2. Yesterday, I found what might be the marriage of Mary Ann K (d. of Barth) in 1875 in Innisfil (Bridget's
husband was the best man), and it showed her birthplace as Toronto.
Innisfil, as well as Tecumseth (where Barth's son Richard was born), and Essa, where Myles K 1834 lived,
and where his widowed mother remarried, are all townships on the southern perimeter of Barrie, heading
towards Toronto (Vespra is on the north). This, along with all those Wicklow Byrne baptismal sponsors in
the Oro Barth file, suggest that Myles 1834 and Oro Barth may be related - both were farming up in Oro
(north side of Barrie) in 1881.
But also: if Mary Anne (d. of Barth) was born in Toronto, then it suggests the family settled in Montreal for
a bit (or at least stopped to have a baby there) after landing in Que. City. They then went to Toronto, and
after that north to the Barrie area.
That Carole Kenny's Kennys started out in Toronto, and she thinks Oro Barth is hers. Her bunch chose to
go west of Barrie, to Guelph. I haven't been keeping her up to date on this, because she only answers every
few months.

Anne Burgess wrote:-I thought I'd have a look for Bridget Kenny, 15 year old d. of Barth Kenny and Mary
in 1871 Oro, but gone by 1881. So I searched the 1881 census for Oro for all the Bridgets, and found this
one whose age fit. And living next door was--ta da!--Barth Kenny. The naming pattern fit, too.
