Trying to reply to this post which I guess is part of yours lol

I dont know which line that Alfred comes down but there was a family of 7 that came to the Greenspond area in the late 1700's. All starts with Richard and his wife Elizabeth. Richard came from England and ran a shipping company. His children

James marries Siborah Beatrice Hiscock. Had 4 boys in James b1818m(wife Sylvia) Johnb1821(wife Ann Wells), Thomas Francisb1828(wife Selina Wells), Jonasb1833(married Emma). Plus 4 daughters

Joseph marries Anne Flood but there children start in 1831 and probably not Alfreds parents unless he married real early, Maybe Johnb1831m Jane Amelia House. Next one is 1835

George marries Mary Ann Windsor. 1st boy b 1842 so no way

Richard marries Margaret Burry Oldford. 1st boy b1833 of Horatio. 2nd Arthur b 1836

I really believe your chasing the first line of James. Of course I could be missing a child for Richard. Hope this gives you some ways to go as I dont have an Alfred in my tree.

I have been to the archives in St. John's and recall seeing some of these names. I did find their marriage info online and at the archives. Must be someone out there who has info on Alfred or Sarah's parents or both, have posted, but no luck so far. Found all of their children's info at the archives, most were born in Lethbridge, Bonavista Bay.

I am pretty sure I have Alfred or Sarah's info in my research. I just started up again after so many years and after so long you tend to forget what you know lol. I will have to look through my research but the names sound familier. (You might know more them me though since you have been to the archives in St. John's. What information are you looking for?

I was just wondering about Richard Osmond because there are so many different stories. about who was related to who, where they came from, the Osmond brothers who were to have come from England. Very confussing??

I do not have any new information other than what has already been posted in this thread. Just a couple of suggestions. It is possible that Alfred was not his first name, for some reason he may have started using his second name. I have seen that happen.
I would also suggest that you look over the Greenspond records for an Alfred Osborne bn c. 1839 rather than an Osmond as it seems to me, if I recall correctly, from my old research in that area, a few were interchanged in the old St Stephen's records.
Interesting that one of the witnesses at Alfred and Sarah's wedding in Greenspond was David Smallwood (Joseph Smallwood's grandfather).
Good luck with your seaarch.

I haven't done anything with this for a few years now. There is no more new info at archives. I did look at Greenspond records, not sure though if I saw a "Osbourne" or not. If you look at my original post you will see the info I have. I have since found out from a distant cousin that I never knew, but found as result of this search, that Tom Groves died after he had put that post online. He is descendant from Janet Osmond, Alfred's daughter. So I never did get to talk with him. I need to know Alfred's parents and Sarah Bishop's parents if you find out any info. Are you in a line of the Osmonds or Bishops?

ancestor
a

Not to sure who this Alfred is but ibelieve he is either a son or grandson of Richard Osmond who came from Crockers Cove and settled on Gooseberry Island in early 1800. Richard was son of Joseph Osmond who came from England and settled in Crockers Cove abt 1750. Another Osmond, David, settled there abt the same time. They are believed to be half-brothers
Richard had at least two brothers;Joseph Jr [my 3xgreatgrandfather] and William? or Benjamin ?
Richard went to Gooseberry Islands and is believed to be the
ancestor of the Greenspond osmonds and other Osmonds in Bonivista Bay.William and or Benjamin went to Fortune Bay and are the ancestors of the osmonds in that area.Joseph went to Moretons Hr and is the ancestor of some of the Osmonds found in Notre Dame Bay.The others are descendants of Davids son ,James who settled on Barr,d Island, Fogo. The Osmonds/Osbournes in White Bay are also descendants of James.
NOTE;David and Joseph were the earliest records of Osmonds in NF and[2]The Richard Osmond ,master of "The Betsy" was not the Richard who settled on Gooseberry Island He belonged to an earlier genaration, however i believe they were closely related
