Thanks, Nikisha!! I have mush more info but just haven’t had time to type it out. I’m a 2-finger typist and have to hunt for the letters!!!
Why don’t you send me your address and I’ll just write it out – or if my daughter has some time, she can then type it.
Actually we (the first 6 children) were raised in the Victoria House until I was in grade 9, I think. Ted and Mary would have been out of the home by then. Mary a nurse (or in nursing school) and Ted at the Bank of Toronto. E.J. Barnes was a manager of the Bank of Toronto in Keen and then in Millbrook. They retired to Norwood and later to an apt. at Water St. in P3eterborough. They were there when I was in high school. (i’ll find the dates later.)
My adddress: 1 Burnham Court, Peterborough K9H 1B2

One of these days, I’ll forward more accurate information. Please remove the name of Jay Loucks as Kate’s husband. Jay is their son who was killed in a car accident.
She is married to Jim Loucks born in Peterborough. His father, Jack, owned the Montreal House and the property on Rice Lake where Jim and Kate now live.

Enjoyed very much reading the history of my father’s cousins – the McCarthy’s of Keene – ( my father was Charles Kennaley a nephew of uncle Mick and aunt Maggie ( I expect )
Many of the McCarthy family names were familiar to me through family conversation – Have visited the ” Kennaley House? ” in the Lang Pioneer Village and spoke to one of the staff who remembered uncle Mick – he and the McCarthys were well regarded by my mother ( ne Mary Holland ) and my father ” Chuck ”
Mom told stories about visiting Keene in a horse and cutter with hot bricks underfoot as an old time heater
I ran across a very funny story recently involving uncle Mick etc. in a book about General Stores – can arrange a photocopy if you wish
Is there a hard copy of the McCarty family history available by any chance?
