I was able to locate Richard in the Quebec City directory for the years between 1852 and 1855. I can't locate his name earlier than that. The Ontario census records that each child but Peter was born in Quebec, City or Province , I don't know. Peter was born in Ontario.
In all they had five children:
Eleanor b 1851
Mary Anne b 1854
Elizabeth b 1856
Bernard b 1861 ( My great-grandfather)
Peter b 1865
Richard and Mary Anne died months apart in 1876 in Ottawa, but where they are buried is not known.
The Quebec City Directory for 1860-1861 lists the following Gorman's
Gorman Lawrence Labourer 17 Artillery St.St. LouisWard
Gorman Michael Labourer 140 Champlain L.T. (lower town)
Gorman Richard Labourer 19 Nouvelle St. St. Louis WardThese men could be irishstone masons working on the Quebec parliment buildings . Richard may have come to Ottawa to work on the Ottawa parliment buildings.
