Still trying to uncover my Emberley roots from Bruley, Long Island, Placentia Bay. Long Island is adjacent to Merasheen Island in Placentia Bay and had the communities of Harbour Buffett, Kingwell and Bruley….
From what I can learn their was a family of Emberley’s living in a area called Indian Harbour on the tip of Merasheen Island .This was a James & Elizabeth Emberley but I have no other info on them. This is the only info I can find on the Emberley name in Merasheen Island.
In the directory of 1871 listed a James, a John, a Joseph a William & a Peter Emberley in Bruley, Long Island.
In 1898 the directory of Bruley list a Peter Emberley Sr General Dealer, Peter Emberley Jr General Dealer also William, John, Bernard, Patrick, James, Michael & Richard Emberley listed as fishermen.
When did your Patrick Emberley move to English Harbour, I see he was their in 1898…
Can you give me a list of birthdates and names for Patrick’s children?
My William Emberley was born in Bruley in 1846 he had one sister for certain Mary Jane Emberley born 1857 his father was James Emberley where he was born is uncertain. My William Emberley had left Bruley before the directory of 1871….
Any little help would be greatly appreciated my email is
