Re: Wagg Family of Burin, Newfoundland
Hi David: Saw your post regarding the Wagg family of Burin. My grandmother was Julia Mitchel Wagg, daughter of William Wagg and Susan Foote. Wiliam was the son of Joseph Heber Wagg and Maria Pardy. I was wondering if you or anyone else had dates for Thomas Wagg and Rebecca Kirby and their children? I have some dates for some of the children, but nothing for Thomas and Rebecca. Would love to compare notes. Regards Julie

Re: Wagg Family of Burin, Newfoundland
In response to your inquiry of Thomas Wagg and Rebecca Kirby, this is where my information is a little sketchy. We cannot prove that he is the son of James Wagg. Thomas was born in either 1787 or 1788 and may have died Jan 26 1875. Rebecca Kirby we think was born in 1798 and died September 1 1872. They had 7 kids (Joseph Heber b 1815 d 03/30/1898, James b 11/30/1816 d?, Mary Frances b 1821 d?, Richard Kirby b 1827 d 06/08/1856, Frances Bridget 09/21/1833 d?, Thomas b 04/14/1836 and Elizabeth b 03/28/1840) If you could fill in any of the missing birth or death information it would be greatly appreciated. Hope this helps. Dave PS I have a couple of old pictures of Joseph Heber Wagg 1940 and William Wagg (1848-1918)

I have an old picture of an Edna Hollett from 1977 pointing to a rock in Burin where my uncle's (Rennie Wagg) grandmother used to live. Is Edna Hollett related to Annie Hollett?

Re: Wagg Family of Burin, Newfoundland
I appreciate your information. It has helped to fill in the gaps. My uncle was not sure who James Wagg had married. Thanks for clearing that up. We do have a disrepancy in our info though, I have Thomas Wagg b April 14, 1836 not July 17 1835. Back to James Wagg, we think he is the son of James Wagg that married Jenny King and settled in NFLD. James was baptised in 1776 at Christchurch England. This is all I have right now. When was Frances Bridle born,died and married? I will try to scan the photos into the computer and send them to you with the next post.
