Surnames: GUSHUE, PHELAN/WHELAN
Hello..I'm looking for family named GUSHUE & WHELAN in the Bonavista Bay area of Nfld & Lab. In particular the following names - TIMOTHY GUSHUE & CATHERINE (PHELAN/WHELAN?) GUSHUE - TIMOTHY GUSHUE b. abt early 1820's, from Bacon Cove/Conception Harbour, Conception Bay.
- CATHERINE (PHELAN/WHELAN?) GUSHUE - no details.

I believe them to be the parents of - Charles J. b. abt. 1859; *Bridget b. abt. 1860 and Mary Ann b. abt. 1862..*Note: Bridget is my maternal family line.

I did find the following details online as recorded in the Bonavista Bay area:

- McAlpine's 1894-1897 Directory, Indian Arm - Timothy Gushue; Charles Gushue; Nicholas Gushue and Patrick Gushue.

- Death Register, 1894-1897 - *CATHERINE GUSHUE, DOD: May 1895; Age: 56; Place of Birth: Indian Arm; Place of Death: Indian Arm; Religion: Roman Catholic....- Timothy Gushue; DOD: July 1896; Age: 4 mons; Place of Birth: Indian Arm; Place of Death: Indian Arm; Religion: Roman Catholic...*I'm wondering if this, CATHERINE GUSHUE, could be my maternal 2xGrGrandmother or possibly the wife of one of the other GUSHUE men in this location who may also be from Conception Harbour??

- McAlpine's 1898 Directory, Indian Arm - Timothy Gushue; Chas (Charles?) Gushue; Nicholas Gushue and Patrick Gushue

- Vital Register of Death Records, 1897-1899 - *Charles Gushue; DOD: April 1899; Age: 39; Place of Birth: Indian Arm; Place of Death: Indian Arm; Religion: Roman Catholic...I'm wondering if this, CHARLES GUSHUE, would be my 2xGrUncle or the son of one of the other GUSHUE men also in this location??

- Index for Sharemen's Ledger, J. Ryan & Co., King's Cove, Bonavista Bay, Nfld, 1904 - John Gushue, Indian Arm and Patrick Gushue, Hawke Hr.

- Death Records, 1911 & 1912 - John Gushue; DOD: Sept. 1911; Age: 5 1/2; Place of Birth: Indian Arm; Place of Death: Indian Arm; Religion: Roman Catholic...- *TIMOTHY GUSHUE; DOD: Sept. 1911; Age: 78; Place of Birth: CONCEPTION HARBOUR; Place of Death: Indian Arm...I'm wondering if this TIMOTHY GUSHUE, born in CONCEPTION HARBOUR, could be my 2xGrGrandfather??

I do know that the baptisms are recorded at the parish found in Harbour Main for all three children of TIMOTHY & CATHERINE (PHELAN/WHELAN?) GUSHUE...I do not know where their births took place.

If anyone can help with my search, possibly connect with any of these GUSHUE & PHELAN/WHELAN names, please let me know as I've been searching for many years, thank you! Regards, Nora :)
