Mary ( ) Madden - Ellice, Perth, Ontario

This is one more as yet unrelated Madden family.  It is given here in the hope that a connection might yet be found.  Among the mysteries of the Madden family is the entry in the 1880 census for Thomas Madden, stating he is from Canada.  We know that is not true, however, we do not know where he was in the few years before that census.  Might he have been with relatives in Canada.  Why did he go to Bay City?  It seems important to explore Madden connections in an effort to find more on the family of his father James.  

This family was in Canada and also involved in shipping on the Great Lakes.

Mary bn 1795 Ireland  - Although it is not stated that Mary is John’s mother, she was living with the family in Canada in 1861.  The relationship of Jeremiah is also unknown at this point.  He is in the same area as Mary and John, so it seems likely that they are related if not brothers.  We know that James is the son of Mary.  She is living with him in 1871 and the relationship is stated.  There is a James Madden living in Ellice, Perth, Ontario in 1848[1]  In 1850 There is also a Jeremiah.[2]  I believe these are the sons and not a possible father.  James is already 30 in 1848 and Jeremiah would be 26 and has three children by 1850.

1. James Madden bn abt 1818 Ireland  m. 1847 Elleanor bn abt 1818 Ireland – Living with James and Elleanor in 1861 is John McDermott age 18.  He is listed as family so perhaps a son of Elleanor by a previous marriage or a nephew?[3]  In 1871 his mother Mary and wife Ellen are in the household.
2. Jeremiah Madden bn abt 1824 Ireland d. before 1870 m. 1842 Mary Dunn (15 Aug 1824 Ireland- 9 Feb 1890 MI)[4].  Except for Agnes all the children were born in Canada.  Since Agnes was born by 1866 we know that the family had moved to Port Huron by that date. [5]
