Nathan Norman and Annie Churchill of Cupids

desb6 — 2009-10-31 16:05:45Z

I am helping a friend search for ancestors of Nathan Norman (1854-1935) and his wife Annie Churchill (1861-1948. They are buried in the Cupid's United Church cemetery.
This is NOT the other Nathan Norman (1809-1883) who married Elizabeth Minden.
Annie was originally from Bay Roberts. We know that whe had a sister Mary Jane who married Horatio Fradsham, and a brother Isaac who moved to Vancouver.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Sir. Henry Pynn / PYNN of Harbour Grace

prichar148 — 2009-10-11 22:36:26Z

The original post here is quite old now... but here is some info on Sir Henry. He was apparently the son of George Augustus Pynn. I descend from his sister Catherine, who married Richard Ash. The Newfoundland Quarterly states (of Richard Ash):

"He married a Carbonear lady, a sister of that
great native of Newfoundland who was one of Wellington s
Major-Generals in the Peninsular War our Sir Henry Pynn."

Therefore, Henry and Catherine are both children of George Augustus.

Re: Roll Call of names and areas I'm researching

roylparsons — 2009-09-23 06:01:06Z

I am a Parsons descended from Absalom Parsons born Bears Cove 1868 to John and Mary Catherine (nee Martin) Parsons. I believe Mary died before 1897 when John and several of his children moved to Lynn MA, USA.
I have quite a bit of info on Mary's family but can find nothing on John's ancestors. Any connection with yours?

Moores/Moors

kefletcher — 2009-09-22 20:17:20Z

I have posted some time ago but thought I would try again.
I am looking for any info relating to Archibald and Newman Moores (or Moors). They were born in Northern Bay, Newfoundland to James Moores (or Moors) and Maria Tilley. Archibald was born approx 1891 and Newman was a bit older.
Both parents died when they were young and at least Archibald was raised in Lower Island Cove by John Manuel and his wife.
He left Newfoundland in approx 1916. I have not been able to find any birth records for the sons nor any burial records for the parents. Information about parentage came from Archibald himself.

Hi kpoore179,
I am new to ancestry.com, but it directed me to some of your information on "hints". Listed on your tree is Eli Moores, he is my gggrandfather. However, according to my family Eli's parents are George Moores and Elizabeth Gill. This is different from your information and I was wondering where you found it? (I'm wondering if I have incorrect info). Thank you!

Re: Roll Call of names and areas I'm researching

pmbyrne — 2009-09-20 05:15:54Z

Hi Ken I think I asked you before back in 2005, but can you check to see if you've added any new information that may contain an Emily Bishop born c. Oct 1861 at Coley's Point, and married to a Patrick McGrath from Collier's? She would be my gggrandmother and I can't find anything on her family. I only know that she had 3 children, one of them my ggrandmother Anastasia McGrath. Any information on the Bishop surname from Coley's Point would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Dooley of Portugal Cove and St. John's

HWDCM30 — 2009-08-19 18:59:05Z

Michael Dooley arrived in Newfoundland ca. 1774 and ran the first packet boat between Portugal Cove and St. John's. He may also have opened an inn called "The Slough" in Harbor Grace. Wife's name was Margaret, known children were Matthew (married Mary Hanlen/Handlen), Jane (married James Fogerty) and Catherine.Possibly more children. Would like to connect him to Harbour Grace and the inn, as well as any political activity.

James Crocker, born 24 May 1868, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland

TammyCrocker20 — 2009-05-24 20:22:26Z

I am looking for information to confirm his parents names are Charles (b 1836?) and Levinia (Noel)(B1846?) Crocker. Cemetery records show more than one Levinia Crocker, one buried 1922, one 1917; St. Anglican's records also show a burial of 1895 for Levinia. There is record of Charles and Levinia being married 10 Jan 1865.

Due to the number of Crockers with the name James or Charles, it has been difficult to confirm which line they belong to.

Possible siblings to James: Henley 1901;Mary;and Alexander 1869

Re: Roberts..Please help

rpgoodyear — 2009-08-05 23:41:48Z

I suggest you try the Newfoundland Grand Banks website or the Newfoundland Gen Web website. You should be able to find these easily through Google, but if not please contact me offline and I'll give you the addresses. I have family connections in the Spaniard's Bay area. I suggest you look at parish records for Harbour Grace as there are many Spaniard's Bay baptisms and marriages in those records. Both websites have search facilities so you should be able to search on Roberts and see what you come up with.

In the Harbour Grace Anglican marriage records, I find the following:

27 Feb 1860 Henry Munden Robarts bachelor of Brigus Frances Alice [Perce?] Davis spinster of Carbonear

23 Nov 1824 William Robberts of Spanyards Bay, Bachelor Dianna Nosarry of Briants Cove, Spinster

__ Dec 1780 John Roberts Ann Normor Beleisle

2 Dec 1816 John Roberts of Spaniards Bay, Bachelor Sarah Vokey of the same place, Spinster

Roberts..Please help

TClarkeSaitow — 2009-08-04 21:47:28Z

I am looking for any information regarding Selina Roberts. She is my gg grandmother. My g grandfather (her son) was John Roberts b 1882 in Spaniard's Bay. From what I can tell from the US Census Selina came to the US in 1901 and was married for the first time at age 14, probably to John's father. The problem is, that I cannot find anything that gives me a clue as to what her maiden name was or who she married. John had a brother Archibald and William Roberts and a half brother Charles Palmer from Selina's 2nd marriage. I have tried the Newfoundland website and found a couple of Selina's and some families with the surname Roberts but other than that I am stuck!!
Any help would be great
Thanks
Tracy

PS..can someone tell me what else Spaniards Bay may be called as it is not easy to find the name. I am thinking it may be easier if I knew the region
