Thank you so much for this info. You have advanced my search greatly. You say in your reply that there is more info. I would appreciate anything that you could provide. I wrote to the Newfoundland Vital Statistics Department and was able to get a birth certificate for my Grandmother (Greta), but they were not able to find one for my grandfather John Abbott. I gave them his birthdate and his parents names but they couldn't come up with anything. Any suggestions? Any documentation (copies) of my family history you could provide would also be greatly appreciated. My direct e-mail is fmcsorley@comcast.net is that is easier. Again, thank you so much.

Richard Abbott and Elizabeth Ivamy of English Harbour were married Dec 20, 1808. The marriage was recorded in St Paul's Church of England at Trinity, TB. Elizabeth was the daughter of James Ivamy (1757-1798) and Jane Abbott (1764-1819). Her siblings were Martha, Grace, Mary and Patience. After James Ivamy died Jane remarried to James Vallis on Oct 27, 1800.

Jane Abbott was the daughter of Matthew Abbott and Grace Gillett.

I have James Ivany/Ivamy's wife as Joanna Pottle. There were two James Ivanys --- one in English Harbour --- the one married to Jane or Jean Abbot lived in Bonaventure.

Elizabeth was the daughter of James and Joanna (Pottle) Ivany. I am connected to this family through Elizabeth's sister, Martha.
