Hi, Sorry to get back so late on this. Thanks for writing. I have found no connections to Bocabec. I don't seem to get back any further on these relatives (Thomas or Honora)either :-(
Good luck with your searches!

Cheers,
Phyllis

Well, I am finally getting a break! I am a direct descendant of Thomas Quinn, In the 1851 census of Blackville, Northumberland, New Brunswick, it says that Thomas and Honora are listed as husband and wife, with Patrick and Mary being the children. This confused me, because first of all it says that Thomas came to NB in 1822 and Honora in 1840, secondly, there is a 15 year age difference . Anyway, Thomas is my3rd great grandfather from my mothers side. I have alot of information, please check out my family tree, its public, Michelle Van Horne family tree with Ancestry.ca. P.S. Nice to meet you!

Surnames: Hetherington, McCann, Barry, Quin or Quain,
Hi Ginger! Thomas Quin or Quain, blacksmith of St Andrews, was married to Mary Barry. After she died, he married Bridget (McCann) Hetherington, widow of William Hetherington, tide waiter at the fort. Although they married 17 June of 1849 by Rev. James McDevitt, she was shown as Bridget Harrington living in her home with daughter Hannah in the 1851 census. She was also called a widow which is not true, but had possibly left him. The only other possibility is that the enumeration began prior to their marriage in 1849. Ancestry shows that the census process for 1851 began in 1849 and continued through 1852.

Thomas was shown in the 1851 census living with son Patrick and daughter Honora. He was called head of the household. Thomas Quain died on August 8, 1874. His obituary mentions that he had a surviving family, but there was no reference to a wife. That is because his wife Bridget (McCann) (Hetherington) Quin died in Salem, MA 9 May 1867 where she had gone to be with her daughters who were already living there.

Bridget is my 4th great grandmother. I would appreciate my further information that you have, and I will be happy to share the rest of what I have.. Hope this helps. My email is moosetracks@myfairpoint.net
