I have a Mary Wagg listed in my family tree and am trying to find more information regarding her parents and family. I believe her year of birth was 1867 and she died in 1952. We believe she was born in Step-Aside Burin, and died in Burgoynes Cove Trinity Bay NL. According to a copy of her birth certificate her father's name was either John or James. Also, we know her mother's name was Mary Frances Bridle. She married a Jubal Phillips (son of Levi Phillips and Mary Ann nee Carberry) from Burgoynes Cove Trinity Bay NL.

The only information I can find regarding a Mary Wagg born around that time in Step-Aside, her father's name is listed as Thomas - so we don't think this is the right one. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi. My great-grandmother was Mary Wagg Moulton from Burin Bay, next door to Step Aside, and we can't figure out where the Wagg came from--likely to acknowledge a Wagg relative. Anyway, as far as I know, the only Wagg's in the Burin area at the time you're looking at were in Step Aside and the only Mary was born 21 September 1867 to a Thomas Wagg and Frances Clark and baptised at the Great Burin Anglican church on November 24 that year.
