Cicely Helena Manley (1893-1962)

Cicely Helena Manley was born in Morrisburg, Ontario in Aug 1893 to Edward Manley and Maggie Boylan. After a few years in the Montreal area, the family returned to Thorold, Ontario where Cicely grew up. Her birth and baptism certificates have not been located but she received her first communion on Jun 22, 1905 and was confirmed on May 12, 1907 at Holy Rosary RC Church in Thorold. For her secondary education she attended the St Catharines Collegiate Institute.

At some point she returned to Montreal and entered the nursing program at Montreal General Hospital. She practiced this profession for a time and then decided to attend Law School at McGill University, graduating with the class of 1936. She was one of very few woman in law school at that time. Quebec law did not allow women to be called to the bar until 1941 and then they had to have a BA as well as their law degree. Cicely did not have this so she appealed that rule successfully and was called to the bar in 1949. She went on to practice law as well as teach at Marianopolis College. In 1951 she earned the distinction of being the first female lawyer from the province of Quebec to plead in the Supreme Court of Canada.

On Feb 12, 1938 she married one of her fellow law students, Robert Gerard Sampson in Newport, VA. This marriage ended in divorce in 1949.

Cicely died on May 27, 1962 in a Montreal hospital. Her funeral service was held at the Ascension of Our Lord RC church in Westmount, Quebec and she is buried in Abercorn Cemetery, Brome Co, Quebec.

Mary Catherine Manley (1891-Bef 1962)

Mary Catherine Manley, daughter of Edward Manley and Maggie Boylan was born in Quebec, Canada on Sep 28, 1891. She was baptized Oct 4, 1891 at St Clement RC Church in Beauharnois-Salaberry, Quebec. After her birth the family returned to Thorold, Ontario where she was confirmed at Holy Rosary RC Church on May 28, 1905.

As of 1928 she was still living at the family home at 16 Sullivan Ave. Her parents both passed away in 1928 and it appears that at some point she left Thorold and moved to Montreal, Quebec where she became a nurse.

In a 1940 Voter list she was listed as being a nurse at Douglas Mental Health University Institute at 6875 LaSalle Blvd in Montreal. Again in 1949 she was listed as a nurse at 1963 Bayle St. In 1952 she was mentioned in her brother Patrick's obituary as living in Canada and in 1962 she was mentioned in her sister Cicily's obituary as deceased.

Details of Mary Catherine's adult life have been elusive. Would still like to find where she had her education, when and where she died and where she was buried. Also a photograph would make my day!
